Dave Balter | Why Humility Matters In Today's Leadership

What role does humility play in today's leadership and how does this trait benefit leaders in facing the challenges present in today's global market? That's one of the questions I discuss with CEO Dave Balter in the latest episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe”. Dave is the CEO and founder of the word-of-mouth (WOM) marketing company, BzzAgent, which has been featured on CBS News, the BBC, and the New York Times Sunday Magazine. His company has also been the focus of two case studies done by Harvard Business School. Recently, Dave started a new web project titled “100 Days of Humility” in the hopes of drawing more attention to the need for greater humility in today's leadership. The goal of the project is to encourage people to share their thoughts on humility in leadership, with the community voting for the story or idea which best illustrates the important role humility plays in leading others. The experiences and insights he shares helps to shed some light on how humility is not just a nice trait to have, but a critical component to ensuring the success of your team's efforts to reach your organization's goals.

Teresa Amabile & Steven Kramer | How To Create Meaningful Work

How does creating meaningful work impact an organization's ability to succeed? That's the basis of my conversation with Dr. Teresa Amabile and Dr. Steven Kramer. Teresa is the Edsel Bryant Ford Professor of Business Administration and a Director of Research at Harvard Business School. Steven is a developmental psychologist whose writings have appeared in such illustrious publications as the Harvard Business Review and The New York Times. In this episode, we discuss their research findings which serve as the basis for their new book “The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy, Engagement, and Creativity at Work”. As I told Teresa and Steven during our conversation, “The Progress Principle” is easily one of the best books I've read this year on leadership and improving an organization's productivity. I invite you both to listen to this podcast and to check out their book to find out why I so thoroughly enjoyed reading "The Progress Principle", as well as talking with them about the discoveries they made through their research on the challenges employees face in today's workplace.

Guy Kawasaki | How The Power Of Enchantment Can Help Us Succeed

For my first episode, I am pleased to welcome Guy Kawasaki, the best-selling author and former Chief Evangelist at Apple, to the guest chair. Guy is the co-founder of the popular online content aggregator Alltop.com, as well as one of the founding partners of Garage Technology Ventures. Earlier this year, he released his latest book called "Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds and Actions" which recently made the New York Times bestseller list. I had the opportunity to get an advance copy of Guy's book and after reading it, I invited him to be the first guest on my new podcast series which he graciously accepted. During the podcast, we discuss a number of topics including: What does enchantment mean and what's the first step to take to become more enchanting How we can develop more trusting and beneficial relationships Why trying to be influential is not the best long-term strategy The 3 steps every leader can take to enchant their employees Why employees need to enchant their boss (one of the unspoken truths many of us don't like to admit) It's a great interview and Guy and I even shared a few laughs along the way as we discuss what it takes to not just influence, but enchant those around us. So I'd like to invite you to check out this first episode of the "Leadership Biz Cafe" podcast.
