How top leaders rewire to defeat your number one enemy
You need power, influence & impact to change the game…
What causes you to wobble?
Today, forward-thinking leaders are in a hyper-kinetic business arena. It is not a stable environment where older familiar forms of leadership prevail.
You are under a blitzkrieg…
65% of competent leaders’ change initiatives fail, at large and small organizations.
From the crack-of-dawn to the close-of-day, you’re in back-to-back meetings. Losing your nerve or relinquishing your advantage isn’t an option.
Getting on the same page may not be working.
Leadership breakdowns & complaints rise.
Before you know it the day’s over and you’re left wondering:
“Am I advancing forward, holding ground, or falling backward?”
The best execs confidently advance forward,
you don’t wobble, because you know:
- What makes you tick?
- What makes your managers and teams tick?
- Unique to today’s disruption, what makes the odds shift in your favor?
Let’s unlock the truth of what actually:
- diminishes the wobble
- produces game changing behavior for today’s leaders
Ask 1,000 leaders…what is your number 1 leadership foe?
They’ll point the finger at the same four things:
Money
Time
Trust
Communication
It’s a fair judgment…
But unfortunately it’s not the right one, and tackling the usual suspects will only distract you from changing the game.
Between Bad Judgment & Good Judgment
Is Your #1 Leadership Enemy…
I’ve found one unexpected false move-blunder at every crime scene of failure:
The Shut-Down
Syndrome
A hidden myopia that traps your brain
It’s a default setting, like a thermostat set to be cautious and avoid regret, a defense, not to be seen as a loser. It causes you to play small. It results in mediocrity.
It is more than the status quo most people talk about. It is a bias toward the known and familiar, and away from risk. It’s a myopic mindset making you unable to detect errors and impairing your leadership vision.
When you were a kid, you explored and changed more naturally, but for a variety of reasons, you started limiting yourself. Now the limitations happen subconsciously before you realize it.
It’s scientifically proven … the friction caused by the status quo bias results in:
The Shut-Down Syndrome ruins more executive reputations, their influence & impact than anything else.
It blindsides you, slows everything down
and causes you to have poor judgment.
How the Shut-Down Syndrome
Is Defeated…
A VP Quality had 40% of her initiatives rejected by the CEO. Her own status quo bias narrowed the approach she was using. She replaced it with a game-changing influence strategy resulting in 80% approvals, plus her reputation with the CEO went from a second tier to a trusted confidant.
A President was seen as arrogant, intimidating and non-collaborative. His CEO said, “fix it or leave.” His family’s retirement future was at stake. His old school, status quo approach was counterproductive. We worked to rewire his mindset and he quickly transformed.
An Executive lost power and was unable to influence because of false beliefs shaped by his status quo bias. He acted defensive, rather than shifting strategies. Learning to defeat the status quo bias was a game changer for his leadership influence and the company.
A Sales VP thought he was ‘doing coaching’ to refine his charm. He started to understand that his reactive tendency was to play small. He began playing bigger from a new vantage point and developed his executive presence to transform major accounts into 10X returns. This had game-changing impact.
How do you change the game & create transformations?
Sagacity
The nerve to call out the hidden enemy.
Sagacity is a special type of nerve, the nerve to be wise. It creates a mood in you that can take the first step.
Top leaders know how to rewire to change the game… they do this by developing an added sense: Sagacity.
Sagacity is penetrating insight and sound judgment which enable you to guard against the designs of others and to turn everything to your best possible advantage.
