Leading Leaders Podcast with J Loren Norris

HEY LEADER SLOW YOUR ROLL AND KNOW YOUR ROLE “One of the mist distracting and damaging behaviors of a young leader is the ambition to prove their power, their influence and their worth. Often this insecurity is expressed through taking on more roles than they can competently accomplish. Sometimes it manifests in attempting to do the job of others before they have had a chance to fail or succeed fo...

WHEN CANCEL CULTURE CALLS WILL YOU LEAD OR CAPITULATE?  ​  “Too often the path of least resistance has great appeal because it offers the illusion of going along to get along with others. When peer pressure, the cultural norm, the status quo threaten what’s right and what’s best in the long run, it is essential for leaders to know the difference. Are you prepared to stand your ground? Do you know...

GREAT LEADERS KNOW WHEN A TEAM MEMBER IS AT RISK OF DROWNING “When a team member is in over their head, overwhelmed with their assignments or the stress of the role they are filling it is the job of the leader to be aware and engaged. A leader who allows the onslaught of life to slip into the soul of their team unnoticed and unhindered is a leader too focused on their own issues. Be willing to ste...

SQUEEZE PLAY IS A STRATEGY TO PUSH LEADERS FROM EFFECTIVE TO COMPLIANT “”The pressure to fit in to societal expectations is increasing every generation. Leaders are daily under attack to conform to and confirm some of the silliest ideas ever expressed. Sadly, those who are notorious for manufacturing some of the notions we now call normal, are ruthless in gaining buy-in to their ludicrous ideas. F...

THE GOTCHA STYLED INTERVIEW IS THE ARMPIT OF LEADERSHIP “The leader who is on the verbal offensive in every interaction , interview or encounter is the unwanted participant of any relationship. It is either the narcissist or nihilist nature in a leader which pushes them to play gotcha in every conversation. The attack on personhood, status, class, education, race, beliefs is seldom based on merit...

LEADERSHIP GROWS THROUGH THREE CHANNELS HIDDEN IN THIS EPISODE “Like driving a vehicle with a manual transmission, if you don’t do right in first gear the other gears won’t work well at all. Failure to build the appropriate amount of system pressure in gear one, means no momentum, no torque, no acceleration or speed in subsequent gears. The analogy in this lesson is strong. The three gears one mus...

ONCE A LEADER ALWAYS A LEADER - TRUE OR FALSE? “The skills required to become an effective leader are not skills which evaporate over time. Unlike athleticism demonstrated at a young age, leadership mastery is lifelong learning more akin to the skills such as mastering the game of golf or tennis. If you have become skilled at leadership, leadership follows you into every environment, for better or...

WELDER OR PHILOSOPHER WHICH ONE IS A LEADER? “Having experienced my share of manual labor, sore muscles, aching joints, sunburnt neck and scarred hands, I can tell you for a fact, a day of intense mind work is equally tasking and exhausting. To know for a fact, no one is as invested or interested in your success and safety as you, seems silly to say, but frivolous lawsuits abounding proves it is n...

LEADERSHIP DONE WELL MAY WELL COST YOU EVERYTHING “The sacrifices made by leaders who have gone before you demand the utmost of commitment from you. As a leader, you will be asked to give. Likely you will be asked to give more than you could have imagined. Your time, talent, treasure and attention will all be on the chopping block along side your physical, financial and emotional well being. When...

YOU INFLUENCE THEREFORE YOU LEAD HOW DO YOU INFLUENCE? “When you have the floor, when you have the mic, when you have the worlds attention, what will you do with it? So many influencers strive and struggle to gain the traction of notoriety. So many influencers have the ambition of climbing the ladder of clicks, views, subscribes and shares. So many influencers will stoop to any level of moral depr...

IMHO GREAT LEADERS ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH SURFACE LEVEL THINKING “I am by no means an academic snob, I am not qualified to be one. I am not superior to anyone, the average chimp likely has a higher IQ. However, I do appreciate and value a conversation of substance over fluff any day of the week. I prefer to think deeply and to consider tough subjects I do not agree with initially. It perhaps is a...

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED - LEADERSHIP DEMANDS READINESS TO ADAPT AND OVERCOME - BE PREPARED TO INNOVATE “It seems oxymoronic to expect what cannot be expected, no? Truth is, being prepared in such a way as to be agile, responsive and resolute is the nature of good leadership. If we knew all the obstacles we would face and the perfect strategy to conquer them on the first, try we would never grow. Whe...

CRAFTING THE STORY WHICH SHAPES THE FUTURE IS A PRIMARY ROLE OF LEADERSHIP “The pick up line, the brand slogan, the sales pitch, the battle cry they are all tools of the same origin. These are the stories we select to tell to win over a date, a business partner, a customer, a toddler, an investor to our way of thinking. These stories are carefully selected, diligently crafted, masterfully connecte...

LEADERS NEED SPACE TO FOCUS - GUARDED TIME TO THINK, PLAN AND PROCESS “Busy is a double edged sword. The leader who does not commit to taking time for themselves to think, plan and process their experiences will burn out and possibly self destruct. It’s nice to think the longer one is a leader, the more they can handle. Truth is, the more people and things one has to lead, the more white space the...

LEADERS KNOW THAT APPRECIATION IS MORE DIFFICULT WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING “Appreciation and gratitude are related but not the same. It is possible and even practical to be grateful for an outcome without truly appreciating all the effort necessary to pull it off. To experience true appreciation, one must understand the process, understand the effort, understand the commitment required and invested. I...

FEELINGS ARE NOT FACTS. GREAT LEADERS UNDERSTAND WHY THIS MATTERS IN DECISION MAKING AND LEADING “Great leaders make decisions based on facts properly evaluated not fickle emotions. Emotions, feelings are fickle and can not be trusted. Please make note, your insights, your experience, your wisdom might cause your tail to wiggle in regard to a situation or relationship but that is not a feeling bas...

FEAR WILL STOP A LEADER FROM PERFORMING EVEN THE MOST BASIC SKILLS AND FUNCTIONS THEY HAVE MASTERED ”Fear is a killer of dreams, a dead end for ideas, a silencer of hope. Even the most skilled operator in any discipline will fail if they allow fear to freeze them. The better skilled, the deeper the mastery, the more disciplined the leader, the more likely neither crisis nor chaos will disrupt exce...

LEADERS ARE THE FIBERS IN THE FABRIC OF SOCIETY WHICH NEED STRENGTHENED “When the fibers are weak, the fabric stands no chance in the friction and fray of life. The fibers in the fabric of society are those who exert influence in the lives of others. In other words, the fiber which makes up the fabric of societies around the world are leaders. Leaders of families, leaders of communities, leaders o...

​ LEADERS KNOW BREAKING THE THERMOMETER WILL NOT STOP A HEAT WAVE “Changing or destroying the standard measuring device which alerts you to a problem is not a solution to your problem. Relabeling something, someone, some idea does not transform the essence or nature along with the new label. From a company’s annual sales quotas, to a nations moral compass, the tools used to measure achievement or...

What is the purpose and meaning behind LEAD THE NARRATIVE TV? by J Loren Norris We all have heard the stories selectively chosen by major media, by politicians, by medical experts, by agenda driving school curriculum and by those with a specific slant. We recognize the stories as part of a big picture plan and a larger narrative. We understand their worldviews as they are exposed by these stories....
