🤔What separates good leaders from great ones?

It's NOT your job title.
It's NOT years of 'management experience.'
It's NOT the amount of people you have on your team.

Great leaders possess TWO things:
⭐️ A very specific philosophy, and
⭐️ World-class leadership success habits.

I recently sat down with organizational leadership expert, Dean Leber, and asked him to dive into these two concepts.

In our conversation, we unpack

👉🏻 Conscious Leadership: How to make more impactful decisions, build stronger teams, and create a positive influence in your organization and beyond.

👉🏻 Habits of the Elite: Game-changing rituals that can propel you from where you are now to where you aspire to be.

👉🏻 Lead Yourself First: Invaluable insights on leading yourself first.

This conversation with Dean will leave you with a real and practical roadmap to elevate your leadership skills immediately.

Does setting BHAGs scare you? Let these 3 easy, actionable tactics give you the confidence to identify your Big Hairy Audacious Goals. Listen now and take action!

Ever heard of the term BHAG? 

If you’re a regular listener, you’ve probably heard me talk about this in previous episodes. (See episode JimHarshawJr.com/302)

BHAG or Big Hairy Audacious Goals is a concept developed by authors Jim Collins and Jerry Porras in their book, “Built to Last.” It is one of the key characteristics and traits of visionary companies— a “powerful mechanism to stimulate progress.”

Setting goals is a familiar territory, but if you want to take it to the next level, a BHAG is the way to go— but where do you start? How do you identify a BHAG?

In this episode, we’re going on a deep dive into how to confidently identify that BHAG, especially for people who are unclear or who feel stuck. Here are the 3 things that you need to do to confidently identify BHAG… Hit play now.

If you don’t have time to listen to the entire episode or if you hear something that you like but don’t have time to write it down, be sure to grab your free copy of the Action Plan from this episode— as well as get access to action plans from EVERY episode— at http://www.JimHarshawJr.com/Action.  

This year sees the twentieth anniversary of the publication of Jim Collins bestseller Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't.

With over 4 million copies sold worldwide good to great became a management must-read. But what can we learn from it 20 years on? 

Is it still relevant? Do its findings pan out in the 21st century?

The book addresses a single question: can a good company become a great company (stock market performance, 5 times the average) and if so, how? Based on a five-year research project comparing companies that made the leap to those that didn’t, Good to Great shows that greatness is not primarily a function of circumstance but largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline. ‘Good to Great’ discusses concepts like Level 5 Leadership; First Who, Then What (first get the right people on the bus, then figure out where to drive it); the Hedgehog Concept, and the Flywheel. 

Helping Harley discuss Good to Great in his virtual studio are:

• Dr. Katrin Winkler, Leadership and organizational coach and Professor of Human Resources and Leadership at the University of Applied Sciences (UAS) Kempten, Germany
• Cor Loots, Business Strategist, former Vice-president in Business Improvement and Operations for Levi Strauss Europe and owner of Cobalo consultancy
• Philippe Van Haren, Business Consultant and former CEO of Unicon Solutions NV and member of a number of boards of directors
• Peter Ruymen, Partner of The Bayard Partnership. Peter has a degree in Enterprise Architecture from the University of Antwerp and is described as a no-nonsense guy that sees the bigger picture immediately.
