Leadership Emotional Intelligence

Posted on May 4, 2022 by admin

Mission-Critical Leaders all have a high degree of leadership emotional intelligence. You can’t be a great leader without it. In this episode of the Mission-Critical Leadership Podcast, we talk about ways you can become aware of, enhance, and grow your leadership emotional intelligence.

Episode 9

Years ago, I worked with a leader who had two emotional states: disinterest and anger. He was difficult to work with, extremely negative, and frequently became hostile. When it came time for performance reviews, he could never understand why he wasn’t promoted.

He was an emotionally unintelligent leader. And he hurt a lot of people.

In contrast to this, mission-critical leaders strive to practice a high degree of emotional intelligence.

Let’s talk about it.

In this episode

In this episode we talk about:

Your emotional availability and why it matters for your leadership journey.
The emotional color wheel and how to better identify your emotions.
The cost of being an emotionally stunted leader.
Tools and resources to help your leadership emotional intelligence.
Two negative (and one positive) ways to handle conflict.
Why leaders can’t “win through wounding.”
And a quick review of Marlene Chism’s book From Conflict to Courage.

Three C’s to Sustained Success

Posted on April 27, 2022April 26, 2022 by admin

Welcome to the Mission-Critical Leadership Podcast! In this episode, we talk about three c’s to sustained success. We also talk about how you can implement these strategies into every area of life so you can be, do, and have it all!

Episode 8

This is episode eight of the mission-critical leadership podcast and we talk about the three c’s to sustained success.

I firmly believe that it isn’t just enough to win in one area of life, I want to win in every area of life. I want a life of excellence, and I work to provide that to my clients. In order to do that, I need to make sure that I’m working on getting the right things done.

To help, I practice three c’s to sustained success.

First, I seek clarity. Clarity provides action. When I have clarity, I know how to create a plan to help me achieve my goals. Clarity is inspiring.

Second, I become committed. Once I know my destination clearly, I become committed to achieving it. I can’t just do the work when I feel like it, I have to do it every day. Commitment holds me accountable.

Third, I practice consistency. So what if I’m clear and committed if I don’t consistently put in the work? I’ll only reach half of what I set out to do. High performers know that isn’t good enough. Instead, they consistently put in the work and focus on the results, no matter the circumstances.

In This Episode

In this episode, we talk about:

These three c’s to sustained success
How to implement them in all areas of life
Common pitfalls and hurdles you will face
Handling the emotional joy of Monday (and the pain of Friday)
And much more!
