TTLP 007 : Gathering Support and Influencing Others

In this episode, I address one of the most fundamental distinctions between a High Commitment Culture and a traditional, command and control culture, which is principle-based leadership in the former and rule-based management in the latter. Managing by rules is easy. Anybody can open up the rule book and make mindless decisions  regardless of the specific circumstances involved. It take a leader to have the courage to make principle-based decisions that may seem inconsistent but are indeed consistent with the values that the leader subscribes to. principle-based leadership is far more productive and fulfilling than having a bunch of rules in place in a failed attempt to control people and force them to comply. If you have leadership responsibilities, it is time you evaluated some of the policies and rules at your workplace to either make sure they add value or eliminate them and replace them with principles and guidelines. If you don't have leadership responsibilities, listen to the podcast for some ideas that you could use to influence your workplace to become a more principle-based environment.

TTLP 008 : Lead by Principles, not Rules

Creating a coaching culture is absolutely essential to delivering and sustaining extraordinary results and creating a fulfilling experience for team members. A culture in which coaching occurs organically, independent of formal programs, thrives in delivering results and cultivating practical capabilities that are required for it to adjust to future challenges.

A necessary component of creating such a coaching culture is the development of coaches who not only have good intentions but the mindset and skills to express those intentions in a way that encourages everyone to seek, provide, and use coaching on a going basis.

In this episode of the podcast, Amir describes the key characteristics of extraordinary coaches in terms of who they "are," what they "do," and what they "have."

TTLP 009 : Extraordinary Coaches Have Their A.C.T. Together

There are no magic bullets when it comes to Transformative Leadership. Whether you are committed to transforming some aspect of your personal life or improving your performance or fulfillment at work, or you have leadership responsibilities anywhere else in life, there is no single skill or tool or capability that magically changes the game. There is, however, a mindset that acts as the glue that brings all other necessary ingredients for transformation together. One without which you will most certainly not succeed in causing a transformation, no matter how skilled or resourceful you are. That mindset is one of accepting full accountability for the outcome you are committed to creating and not allowing your thoughts about your own interests deter you from pursuing your mission. This mindset is summed up in my favorite phrase, "I am the One and it's not about me!" In this episode, I explain the essence of this seemingly paradoxical statement and its profound impact on people and organizations that truly take it on.
