Today I’m talking about Leadership and Toilet Paper – yes, I really am.
In the past I’ve done mash-ups of leadership with random topics, and challenged people to send me suggestions. You can see a channel of these past mashups here. Jose Luis sent this one in. Now I don’t know if he was serious, or just doesn’t like me, 😉 but…challenge accepted.

What does it take to become passionate about your work? How do you transfer that passion to your team? Jacqueline Throop-Robinson has spent years researching this topic to get to the heart of employee engagement. What she found is that it’s not enough to have meaning in your work. People also need to have a sense of progress. Jacqueline is the founder of Spark Engagement Inc., a global analytics company in Human Resources focusing on employee engagement and best-selling author of Fire Up Your Team: 50 Ways for Leaders to Connect, Collaborate and Create with their Teams (2013). She has found there are 21 drivers of employee engagement. She suggests that it’s not the leaders’ job to make their teams passionate. However, they need to challenge them to find that passion.

Last week, I talked about the power that routines can have in our lives. If you missed that, you can watch it here.
The thing about routines is that when they change, we are often left feeling a little lost, confused or even discombobulated. And if you’re like most of us, our routines over the last four months have changed significantly.
Are you feeling lost working from home?
If you are, the answer might be in adjusting your routine to better fit your current situation. In this episode, I’m giving you six easy steps to help you evaluate existing and create new routines that you will help you be more successful.

How does your team show up for work? How do you show up? Gary Hamel believes people leave their gifts of creativity and daring at home because it is not encouraged. He joins Kevin to discuss why he thinks organizations have been incapacitated by their lack of humanity. Gary is the author of The Future of Management (2007) and his latest book, with Michele Zanini, Humanocracy: Creating Organizations as Amazing as the People Inside Them. He shares data about the increase in bureaucracy in organizations and the decline of productivity growth. In short, the old model is not working and organizations need to think about the human element. Further, people at all levels can make change where they are and building community is a good place to start.

From This Episode:
Thirty years ago, we were introduced to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. And my guess is most of us have read the book, or at least been exposed to one (or more) of the habits; Think Win/Win. Kevin sits down with Sean Covey, son of Stephen, to discuss the anniversary edition and what makes it unique. Sean is a New York Times bestselling author (The 4 Disciplines of Execution, The 6 Most Important Decisions You’ll Ever Make, The 7 Habits of Happy Kids, The Leader in Me, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens) and president of FranklinCovey Education. Sean builds upon the principle-centered approach for solving problems, whether they are personal or professional. He shares anecdotes and takeaways on how the habits have remained unchanged and how we can use them today.

When you work on your own personal development does it just benefit you?
Not at all.
In fact, everybody wins when you take the time to work on your development.
The organization.
The team.
Your boss.
And of course, you.
So, the next question is, who is responsible for your development?
From This Episode:
Are you waiting for development opportunities, or are you being intentional in creating opportunities? Dave McKeown suggests that leaders with the most impact push for growth. Dave is a leadership consultant and the author of The Self-Evolved Leader: Elevate Your Focus and Develop Your People in a World That Refuses to Slow Down. He joins Kevin to discuss what it means to be a self-evolved leader. It’s not about saving the day and getting it all done. Leaders understand their strengths and weaknesses (and use both). Further, they look to elevate focus, share stories and provide context for alignment, and develop people.
In this episode, Dave discusses:
