Leaders from diverse backgrounds, experiences, industries, and cultures share their stories and insights in order to help us truly understand the meaning of Transformational Leadership. As we ”Get Rooted” in our own beliefs of Transformational Leadership we can help raise the tide of leadership in our own circles of influence that can spread across our families, communities, countries, and even the world! We have incredible influence as we choose to become ROOTED in Transformational Leadership together as a society. I’m excited to learn with all of you. Salamat Po for listening.

With us again is Seth Elliott, author of The Merlin Advantage. Seth joined our show last year through a mutual connection for one of our listeners' favorite episodes (#33), to discuss ideas from his book. He was in town to speak at one of our monthly leadership sessions recently, so we had to get him in studio again and go deeper into his book. Seth is a joy to be with and this episode delves further into the nuances of leadership.

Jim Ferrell, bestselling author and Founder of Withiii Leadership Center, visited Groundwork to speak at our end-of-year banquet. We had to get him in studio for the second time to discuss concepts that are pertinent to what we teach within our institute. Jim has a vision for bridging divides and bringing people together, which is in line with our desire at Groundwork to create "conditions" for transformational change. We go deep in a fairly short amount of time in this episode--it is a must-listen, and probably one you will want to come back to. Enjoy! A big thank you to Jim and the Withiii Leadership Center.

Mary Paulson has served as the Chief of Staff for many superintendents; she has seen the reality of change up close. Change is difficult and the majority of people resist it. Mary provides such a great perspective from what she has learned over the years regarding change and transitional periods.

Growing People vs Problem Solving
Tuesday Dec 14, 2021
Tuesday Dec 14, 2021
Too many of us, especially leaders, get caught up in problem-solving, day in and day out. This is not necessarily bad--problems need to be solved, after all. The question we should be asking is, who should be solving them? As a leader, getting caught up in continuous problem solving can lead to days that feel consistently busy, without much closure or direction. If we can learn to give people the tools they need to solve their own problems, not only are solutions found, but leaders know exactly what they have done at the end of each day. Their role is to develop people. Are you developing the people you influence in your life? Justin Allen, COO of Neighborly Ventures, joins us this episode to discuss.

Special guest and consultant Kay Hazen spoke at our leadership institute and we were lucky enough to steal a few additional moments of her time for the show. We pick up the conversation right where we left off when she last joined us, focusing on leadership brands. It doesn't matter if we hold the title of being a leader or not, if we are young or old, in our personal life or professional life. What do people say about you when you leave the room? What they might say is what our brand is. Does that match with what we want it to be?
