Are you a victim or a victor? Perhaps we need to start out by defining these terms first.

A victim (for the purposes of this episode) is when someone feels hopeless or incapable of changing the outcome of their situation.

A victor (again for the purposes of this episode) is when you feel as though you have influence and can change the outcome.

Sometimes it’s easier to distinguish between the two when it’s someone else you’re asking the question about…

Tweet it out: We can choose to be a victor in the moment or a victim of our circumstances. Which will you choose? @KevinEikenberry

You’ve heard of helicopter parents, right?

These well-intentioned parents tend to hover over their children (like a helicopter) and typically take too much responsibility for their children’s experiences and lives. They of course do this out of love, to protect their children.

Have you ever had a helicopter boss? Again, likely out of good intentions, but their behavior probably felt more like they were overly involved in your job and responsibilities. And I can probably guess that you did not enjoy working for a helicopter boss…

So in today’s episode, I have three questions to ask yourself to help determine if YOU’RE a helicopter boss and to help you watch your behavior so that you are leading your team as effectively and as successfully as you can.

Tweet it out: Being a great leader means being available, not hovering. Supporting not coddling. Allowing to grow, not micromanaging. Don’t be a helicopter boss! @KevinEikenberry

Key Points

  • David and Ryan discuss the global nature of unfit workplaces.

  • Definition and examples of active inquiry.

Culture is a much-used word, at work and in our personal lives. And it’s usually over-complicated.

In this episode, I’m sharing a story from my family’s past to help you better (and more simply) understand exactly what culture is and isn’t.

Tweet it out: Culture doesn’t come solely from a big corporate push. It is built and formed in stories, behaviors, and every day occurrences. @KevinEikenberry

Several years ago, we started using the words “hybrid teams” to describe a team where there are some people working in a physical office and there are some people who work virtually outside of the office.

And while we started using this word well before the pandemic made it a household term, we believe that it’s an even better word than we ever realized.

In this episode, I’ll explain why “hybrid” is the right word for right now.

Tweet it out: Like new hybrids of roses or popcorn, a hybrid working situation should create a better option than what existed previously. @KevinEikenberry

Don’t let that title scare you. I am not turning this into a health series and I am not selling any supplements.

A few of months ago, I decided I wanted to get rid of my “COVID 19”. Pounds that is. So I studied up on intermittent fasting and then I went to work. And not only did I find that it worked for me, I also found some overall life and leadership lessons that I think might work for you.

Tweet it out: We can fast from food, or most anything else. How might you benefit from intermittent fasting from anything? Need some ideas? How about your phone, your TV, your email? @KevinEikenberry

As a leader, we want to have a positive and important effect on our team. Through her research, Vanessa Bohns has found we often feel ineffective, or inadequate, or believe we said the wrong words. She joins Kevin to discuss why we don’t always recognize the influence we have and how that can lead to lost opportunities or misuse of power.

Key Points

  • Vanessa discusses what we can learn from a “stain on our shirt”.
  • Reasons why it’s hard for us to say “no” and what we need to think about when we “ask.”
  • The role of positional power on influence.
  • How to influence when you don’t have the power.
