The Rooftop Podcast

This waterline article is a mindset - we need to move away from the transactional driven approach and start thinking about relationships as the asset. When you go for the short-term transaction, you leave so much on the table. When you focus on the relationship, you not only create and build a new one but investing that time, in the beginning, gives you the opportunity to leverage it in the future.

CONTEXT ON THIS SERIES

In 1917, T.E. Lawrence, who you might know as Lawrence of Arabia overthrew the Ottoman Turks in WWI in modern-day Iraq and Syria, using strategic human connections at the local level. He did so by going into tribal environments and creating a level of trust that unified various tribes around one thing that they could all agree on through storytelling of ‘what could be.’ He wanted to help others who followed behind him do the same so he wrote The 27 Articles to share with them.

Scott has taken these Lawrencian skills and adapted them to the Rooftop Leadership methodology and in this series will share the 27 Waterline Articles for the Rooftop Leader with you so that you are better equipped to lead through the disengagement, distrust, and distraction brought on by prolonged isolation, low trust, and uncertainty. If you’ll lean into these and integrate them into your life and business, you will be more attuned to the people you lead and be able to look at human behavior in a new way that allows you to lead at a higher level.

Starting on September 11th, 2012, al-Qa'ida carried out a series of terrorist attacks on the U.S. Consulate and CIA Annex in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.  And yet, the case remained unsolved. The terrorists were never brought to justice because they had not been identified, until now.

Two former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Officers involved in the Libyan crisis before, during, and after the attacks decided they would not allow an al-Qa'ida terrorist attack to become a cold case.

Sarah Adams and Dave ‘Boon’ Benton have worked for years to bring to justice the attackers, to honor their friends and co-workers that were lost that day. Today they join us by the fire-pit to share their story and tell us about their amazing book, and to provide a rare inside glimpse into the world of terrorism and how many of these same terrorists are at this moment, training and planning the next attacks on the Western World.

I'll see you on the Rooftop...

Humans are the most meaning seeking creatures on the planet - we seek and assign meaning to everything we are confronted with. As Rooftop Leaders, it is crucial that you seek to find your own purpose and the purpose of the people you lead. It will not only help you become relatable to them but you will also become more relevant in their eyes.

How do we ensure we never forget the lessons of the leaders who teach us the most important things in life? How do we pass these lessons to the next generation, to those who never even knew these amazing humans?

Storytelling.

When we share the stories of those who taught us and led us, we share to keep them alive and more importantly, to pass life lessons from one generation to the next.

You’re not going to want to miss this amazing story of Green Beret Team Sergeant Mark Myers, and the universal lesson we can all take away.

You’ve heard me say a million times “Nobody is Coming.” Well, this is the story of where it came from and the amazing man that taught it to me.

I’ll see you on the Rooftop.

Have you ever thought of what you need to help you perform at the highest level in times of churn? There are things – Coyle’s Big Three: psychological safety, a sense of connection, and a shared future. These things have to be in place for any high performing collective and need to happen in order. Creating psychological safety is speaking truth to power which leads to a sense of connection. Join Scott this week to learn how you can create the biggest impact and lead at the highest level in times of churn.

In this modern time of Churn and Distraction, the hemispheres that make up our brain are out of balance and it leaves us askew, as we navigate the world. The "servant" has overtaken the "master".

Trying to make a strategic impact in this unprecedented Churn of distraction, disengagement, and disconnection is exhausting. Especially when our institutional leaders don’t step up and we have to fill the gap. It can wear us down and cause us to ask that toughest of questions: “Is it worth it?”

Well, your ability to ask and answer that question has never been more important.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #10: Revenge and Feuds Are Always Lurking.

When you allow in-groups and out-groups to manifest and operate in modern society, the group becomes more relevant than the individual. As a civil society and liberal democracy we need leaders to preserve individualism and encourage bridging beyond ones in-groups. If they don’t, the status mentality of the group will elicit honor and shame – creating feuds and the desire for revenge. Join Scott this week as he continues the discussion on the dangerous impact in-groups and out-groups can have on the collective.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #9: In and Out-Groups are Natural but Dangerous.

Have you noticed how in-groups and out-groups are everywhere you look? This is bonding trust behavior which is natural - but in these times of low trust and churn, it is being used negatively and we are reverting back to our primal behavior. As a nation, it is necessary that we fight the churn and have a bridging trust mentality. Join Scott this week as he discusses why it’s so important as leaders to not only learn how to bridge beyond your own in-groups but to also exemplify this behavior as well.

What happens if the Taliban remain in power inside Afghanistan? Is there anybody outside Afghanistan standing up to them? The answer to those questions and many more are found in this weeks podcast episode as I interview the only remaining Ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. She works out of the permanent Mission in Austria. As we watch our veteran volunteers from Moral Compass testify on Taliban atrocities on Capitol Hill, it’s clear nobody is coming to save the Afghans. It’s up to you and me to get loud and demand accountability and change. If you care anything about Afghanistan, gender apartheid, or the growing threat of international terrorism, you’re not going to want to miss this interview. I’ll see you on the other side.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #8: Change Freaks People Out.

Change is inevitable and chaos is bound to enter your arena, but change management will help you avoid fear-based reactions.

When the going gets rough, we go tribal. We are primal by nature as the evolution of brains and DNA has not caught up with the modern world. We are essentially, "Well Dressed Neanderthals". It's Firepit Friday, dig in with us and let's talk tools to deal with our primal selves and those around us.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #7: People Won’t Follow You Unless They Feel Safe.

In times of churn, it is critical that we, as leaders, create psychological safety for others in all areas of our lives. Safety in this sense is the ability to speak or act with sincerity without fear of reprisal. What happens when you don’t offer this? Trust cannot exist. Join Scott this week as he gives a few personal examples where there was an absence of psychological safety and what you can do to ensure you are creating the psychologically safe environment needed for trust to flourish for influence and impact.

 In this transactional world, leaders are often de-valuing the very skills they need to get big sh*t done when nobody is coming to save you. Known often as “soft skills,” the power of inter-personal connection and influence is often trivialized in favor of coercion and various forms of “because I said so, dammit.” In low-trust times, that’s what amateurs do. Pros know that the soft skills are actually HARD SKILLS. Join me in this episode and see why!

Many of us look at what's going on around us and feel as if it's too much. So much noise. So much division. The divisionist leaders are driving to separate us, to foment instability in the public arena as well as our personal lives. You know this isn't your path. You know there is a better way. You know that you can help lead us into better days. But, how? How do you get big sh*t done when things are really challenging. I've spent the last thirty years of my life living into this question and answering it with action and deed. We need you. We need what you've got. Join me in this episode and let's get after it.
