2019-11-1829 minAim Higher: The podcast with purposeThe 9 traits of servant leaders: #9 Servant leaders act with humilityWhat one trait of servant leadership is absolutely crucial to the other eight? Humility. And in this episode of Aim Higher, Skip and his panel talk about why that is. In a nutshell, it’s because humble leaders understand that their ideas, goals, strengths and concerns aren’t the only ones that go into the mix of a high-performing team. In fact, when leaders aren’t humble – when they’re arrogant or proud – they shut down the traits that make for the strongest teams: creativity, good worth ethic, entrepreneurship, selflessness. Because a leader who takes all the credit and only thinks...

While any leader must acknowledge the importance of short-term goals, Skip emphasizes that you can’t simply forget about long-term thinking if you want to be a great leader. If you do? You’ll find yourself spinning out-of-control, following yearly, quarterly and even daily routines with no way to tell if you’re making any true progress. Worse, the people you’re trying to lead won’t have a firm grasp of your organization’s direction. This powerful...

Paul was one of “Inc. Magazine’s” Top 100 Leadership Speakers of 2018. He’s a storytelling coach, and he shares with Skip some of the secrets from his new book, “The 10 Stories Great Leaders Tell.” Paul explains that we don’t make most of our decisions entirely logically; we make them in our subconscious and then we rationalize them. To influence people, we need to reach them at both levels, and good storytelling does that. He and Skip talk through several of the m...

This week, Skip is joined by his regular contributors Drew Bordas and Tammi Spayde, and first time panelist Rebekah Kilzer, a leader in information technology and learning.

They discuss how true servant leaders influence through service rather than position, while still maintaining a...
2019-10-1430 minAim Higher: The podcast with purposeWednesday Wisdom: Erin HansonIn today’s “Wednesday Wisdom” Skip quotes the Australian poet Erin Hanson, who wrote, when quiet young, “What if I fall? Oh but my darling, what if you fly?” Skip reminds us that all growth takes place outside of our comfort zone. Watching birds, we know this. They move out of the nest—sometimes with a push from mama bird!—and learn that by flapping hard, they cushion a fall. And then, they learn to fly. Our best success, likewise, often requires that we conquer our fears and take a leap today.
2019-10-0904 minAim Higher: The podcast with purposeThe 9 traits of servant leaders: #6 Servant leaders “sell” rather than “tell”Over the past few decades, “authoritarian” style leadership – boss commands, workers obey – has, thankfully, been going out of style. Remnants of that behavior, though, still remain in many companies and for many leaders, especially in times of stress and for many people new to their leadership roles. In this episode of “Aim Higher,” Skip and his panel discuss how servant leaders get more from their teams by “selling the why” behind ideas, rather than just “telling people what” to do.
2019-10-0724 minAim Higher: The podcast with purposeWednesday Wisdom: Bruce LeeToday’s “Wednesday Wisdom” comes from Bruce Lee: “The successful warrior is the average man with a laser-like focus.” How do we go from average or mediocre to successful? Skip says that daily discipline can make all the difference. Have a picture of what success looks like for you, and make small steps, every day, towards that goal. That kind of laser-like focus on your dream is what it takes.
2019-10-0204 minAim Higher: The podcast with purposeThe 9 traits of servant leaders: #5 Servant leaders encourageIn discussing the 5th of 9 traits of servant leaders, Skip and his panel remark on how we live in an “encouragement desert.” Even if we were to give 6-9 times more encouragement, research tells us that it still wouldn’t be enough to fill the need we have to hear that we are worthy and valuable. How can you, as a leader, develop the habits – and a culture – of encouragement? Listen and find out.

You can work your reputation, and you can also take control of your character. They’re both important! Find out how, and start today.
2019-09-2505 minAim Higher: The podcast with purposeThe 9 traits of servant leaders: #4 Help people with life issuesIn this, the 4th of 9 panel discussions about the traits of servant leaders, Skip and his panel talk about how important it is for leaders to recognize “the whole person.” Because even at work (perhaps especially at work), we’re not just workers. As Skip points out, we are more than “human capital” or other degrading terms like “head-count” or “warm bodies.” Servant leaders recognize that the best leaders respect, trust and care for the whole person. Listen for some good tips on how to do just that, while still respecting some important boundaries.

Third, answer every question with a “Yes!” Tim also talks about the value of diversity of thought, and why “four is the magic number” when you’re looking for diverse perspectives.
2019-09-1630 minAim Higher: The podcast with purposeThe 9 traits of servant leaders: #3 Develop other leadersIn this, the 3rd of 9 panel discussions about the traits of servant leaders, Skip and his three guests talk about how true leaders don’t just lead—they build up other leaders. Why spend time training others to lead? Because the only other option is to be, as Skip puts it, a “superhuman leader” yourself. That’s bad for several reasons. First, it puts all the pressure on you, leaving no room for error. Second, it provides no growth for new leaders. And lastly, it means that your organization won’t benefit from other leadership styles. The panel goes on to provide...

The conversation touches on the components of trust and how you can quickly identify which cultures are based on trust… and which are based on fear. Why worry about trust? Because, as panelist Drew Bordas puts it, “Trust gives you a shortcut to efficiency.”
