In this episode, Alex Sanfilippo interviews Scott Miller on his book Management Mess to Leadership Success!
Lead Yourself
- Demonstrate Humility – Humility has nothing to do with charisma or tone.
“Humble people are more concerned with what is right than being right.” – Dr. Covey - Everyone has a mess - “Acknowledge your messes, show some humility and then make it safe for those around you to acknowledge their mess.”
Lead Others
- Make Time for Relationships - People are not the most valuable asset of a company; it is the relationships between the people that are the companies most valuable asset!
- Protect your team from urgencies – Differentiate what is urgent vs. what is important. You need to be a fire preventer, not a fire extinguisher. Be self-aware.
Get Results
- Create Vision – This is not the same as clarify your purpose, mission, and values. Set actionable and attainable goals. Your vision can change and grow with time. 93% of successful organizations end up with a different strategy than what they started out with. Great leaders are willing to change their minds. They are humble enough to realize that a different course of action may work better.
- The Importance of Character – If you don’t have strong character than nothing else matters. Your personal life and professional life are the same.
“Focus on your character and people will follow you!”
