Language is funny. There is concrete tangible language (words like dog, sidewalk, tree, table) and then there are these words that are abstract more idea or category based (canine, walking routes, forest, furniture). Where you can picture the first category of words in your mind easily, the second not so much or at least less so. Knowing the difference here is incredibly helpful when you face a problem in a conversation where you reach an impasse or roadblock. Often it feels impossible to solve the problem, navigate the conversation. However, if we learn to move up a level of abstraction, we gain the ability to engage with a wider conversational field. This wider field is still talking about the very same topic, it just offers us the ability to find new ways to navigate the conversation.

]]> Verbal Judo Part 4: Change the Frame Dr Ron Hurst 00:23:59 Communication might seem simple, but the simplicity on the far side of complexity is my favorite. Simple unaware communication (or communication on the ignorant side of complexity), leads to less than outcomes. When we learn to understand how communication works, notice what is going on then have the skills needed to mold and shape it, we can create optimal outcomes. That is the heart of the argument behind the power of this weeks cast. Changing the frame is a powerful approach to guiding and shaping a conversation. Knowing how to do this requires a significant awareness and the ability to be conversationally flexible. Frames set the boundaries of a conversation. Recognize that once it is set, it becomes challenging to change it. In this cast we examine when and how to change or reset the fame.

]]> Verbal Judo Part 1: Common Ground Dr Ron Hurst 00:14:14 In this first cast of a new series, I was inspired by a recent project with a client in Oklahoma who wanted to know how to be more effective in communicating with their employees. This cast we start with common ground, a critical component of all conversations. When common ground exists we have a shared place to stand to begin building future agreement. Without common ground conflict is almost inevitable. In many conversations, this technique alone can work wonders on influencing the other person to come to an agreement. I won't get into the psychology of why but suffice it to say this is an influence superpower when mastered.

]]> The "They" Dr Ron Hurst 00:12:50 This cast is the second in a two part series on the peculiarities that employees sometimes use to avoid responsibility. Last week we looked at the Somebody syndrome, today the "they". You know what i'm talking about when a decision gets made and the employees grumble about it, they don't say executive John Doe made a stupid decision, no its "they" made a stupid decision here. It's as if by not mentioning the leaders name they can criticize without consequence. It reminds me of how Ricky Bobby in the movie Talladega Nights used the phrase, "with all due respect".

Thanks "J" from AZ! I loved the idea and realized immediately that i needed to do a podcast on it. Here we explain what somebody syndrome is and then how to build an organizational cultural approach to overcoming it. Employees often have an approach to othering that creates challenges and underperformance.

]]> Robotic Decisions...What!? Dr Ron Hurst 00:17:50 I recently read an article published by Oracle and Seth Stephens Davidowitz discussing how business leaders are overwhelmed by the challenge of decision making. So much so that 70% of those surveyed would like to have an AI (Artificial Intelligence) make the decision for them. What!? How can this be? There are several other observations in the article that make it a worthwhile read. My interest is to look at it from the perspective of leadership responsibility and how to get to place where decision making (a critical responsibility of a true leader) is competency that every leader embraces rather than runs away from. Pining for a computer to do your job is in my opinion an abdication of your role as leader. I will explore the importance of process in decision making, my courting of "Skippy" my nickname for the AI at chatGPT. As well as the potential role of AI in leadership in the future.

In this cast we dig deep into the building capacity reason. The challenge for many managers is that they believe that there is already too much to do and they think that by delegating they will overburden their direct reports. This is false. What we need to consider is that by stopping non value added activities you free your employees up to do the important work. This is a critical component in the delegation process. there are two primary reasons to delegate; to build capacity and to build competence.

The one exception is that mentoring is potentially the one approach that can be most effective because it can incorporate many of the other approaches. temporary promotions, mentoring, back to school, book review, leadership coaching, delegation, special projects no full 55 22cb3a69-8191-47b6-9cb2-2f36d9a794da Developing Leaders Part 2 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 23:55:34 +0000 ronh@developingleadersinc.com (Dr Ron Hurst) https://its-your-business-lead-it.simplecast.com/episodes/developing-leaders-part-2-frugAhE_ Developing Leaders Part 2 Dr Ron Hurst 00:21:38 In this cast we return for part two of one of the first casts in the series, #4 Developing Leaders.

]]> Influence: Psychological Approaches 4: Change the Tense Dr Ron Hurst 00:10:46 this weeks episode is short but powerful. I have found that the ability to influence often involves the deft navigation of the edges of conflict. We need tools that allow us to continue the conversation. In addition to the concept of common ground, we need a tool that enables us to ask constructive questions to subtly change the focus of a conversation. This has the added benefit of allowing emotional activation to cool off and not escalate into conflict. Changing the tense of a conversation does exactly that. In this cast you will learn to pay attention to the verb tense in a conversation. Past tense is where we go when a problem has occurred and we want to find someone to blame. Past is also where a treasure trove of opportunity to reflect and learn resides. The present is where conflict occurs, where all interaction occurs. Managing the present is the true opportunity. The present is about relationship and commonality. The future is about direction, aspiration and decisions. When something goes wrong in one of these three we can move the conversation to one of the other two tenses. This technique will allow you to keep a conversation moving and constructive, While it isn't a closing strategy, it is a powerful connecting and aligning strategy. this weeks episode is short but powerful.

I love this technique for opening up an influence process. It is particularly powerful when interacting with individuals who appear closed minded or operating from low self awareness. This technique is so essential that i consider it a swiss army knife of influence. You can use it with almost all of the other strategies we cover in this series.

It is a take on Stephen Covey's law of the farm. The idea is that as a leader we develop a vision of a better future, then using the work breakdown structure from project management, create a detailed plan of how to make the vision happen. Over the course of the next several months / years implement the project plan and make the vision happen. This technique builds on and integrates all of the strategies we have explored in the previous five casts. This is a potent influence approach but requires a level of dedication and persistence that will test your commitment. in this episode i walk you through one of my favorite long term influence strategies called wheat farming.

There are two ways this technique works, long term and short term. Assuming our goal is to influence the other person to consider a change in their process, in the short term version we listen carefully to that person's narration of their process. Remaining open to being influenced by them (of course! refer to the past two casts) we can then listen carefully to their explanation and evaluate potential risk factors in that process. If a risk factor is there we can ask about the risk in an open ended way. Caution in the short term this technique will not work if you do not have an existing relationship. Longer term we want to take the same approach highlight the same risks, ask similar questions. However you will also return to them a few days / week later and explain how you have been thinking and... This powerful process will help you get on the inside of the persons ego wall and gain access to their interests which will help you in all future infuence efforts.

Face it, we all have blind spots and do appreciate when someone we trust gently and thoughtfully points them out to us. This cast walks you through exactly how to do this. It is critical that you remember that this technique is most effective when a trust based relationship is present. The technique draws upon your experience and ability to understand cause and effect. Essentially, can you proactively identify a risk the other person faces that is "reasonable"? If you can and you can point it out to them the right way, you will become more influential to them. Now, this technique is not specifically about convincing another person about your point of view, it is more about becoming more influential. This is a necessary step to actively influencing another person. The more influential others see us as, the more capable we will be as leaders to influence outcomes.

]]> Influence: Foundations - Listen and Build Trust Dr Ron Hurst 00:17:10 Sorry for the late launch on this cast everyone! Alright everyone here we go! We are starting a journey into how to use the most powerful set of tools at a leaders disposal: Influence. It has been my observation that there is a lot of talk about influence but not so much on application. Many authors talk principles, or research the "what" of influence but not the "how". That is our destination the "how" of influence. In this weeks cast we talk about the bedrock of influence, building trust through listening. You will learn how to cultivate authentic curiosity, how to overcome boredom when listening, and most importantly how to navigate past "positions" to understand "interests." We continue our exploration of the difference between positions and interests. Getting past a position to someones interests will allow you to find other right answers and ultimately influence the other person. Sorry for the late launch on this cast everyone!

]]> Influence: The Power Tool of Effective Leaders Dr Ron Hurst 00:17:05 This cast begins a series of practical tools on how you can become an influential leader. You really don't want to be the leader who constantly concedes, "we will just have to agree to disagree". No leaders must have the skill to gain the cooperation and motivation of others. If they cannot do this, they literally aren't leading, they are just carrying around a shiny powerful title. Although this series promises to be at least 24 casts long, im going to brea it up into chunks. We will start with foundational approaches, then shift to psychological ones, this will be followed by rhetorical approaches and finally advanced techniques. this will be a "how to" series you don't want to miss. In this first cast we lay a foundation on good ole Aristotle and his persuasion model of Ethos - Logos - Pathos. I will walk you through the importance of each of these elements and how to use them in your efforts to influence.

Most authors, coaches and leadership development experts agree and yet few are able to offer practical advice on how to improve yours. In this cast i offer you five approaches to grow your self awareness. By consistently practicing the actions recommended here you will certainly grow in your ability to be aware in every moment. We examine the power of feedback for growing awareness. We also look at the importance of completing a personal inventory of skills and opportunities. Assessments are the third thing you can do. I prefer DiSC and Myers Briggs assessments as personality is reasonably stable aspect of your identity and knowing yours will significantly improve your ability to interact consciously and effectively with others. The fourth area is about growing your mental control using mindful meditation. The final approach is that of reflection. Reflection is the superpower of learning. Developing a practice of consistent reflection you will realize deeper benefits from every interaction. Putting these five practices into action will supercharge your leadership abilities.

I have always struggled with managers who believe that their company and they themselves are better than everyone else. While there are certainly cases where there are incredibly successful companies and managers, I think in many circumstances we need to recognize the role of luck in the development of companies and careers. As leaders we need to cultivate humility such that we see learning and adaptation as the primary path to sustained business success. In this cast I make the argument that many managers were just lucky, in the right place, at the right time, with the right skills and that many businesses similarly got lucky.

They use slogans, exhortations, they post pretty pictures on the wall, they hand out values cards. They might even use accountability to drive out old culture adherents from the organization. News flash! All of this is a waste of effort and potentially destructive to the organization if it's all you do. Culture exists deep in the collective memory of the organization. It cannot be changed as much as it can be channeled and subtly influenced. To access this level of skill requires you to know the assumptions your company is operating from. To find these requires you to be a detective. Your employees can't tell you what they are, they don't know either! In this cast, we explore the three levels of organizational culture and how to gain access to the deep level that drives how your organization reacts both internally and externally. If you are even wondering about a change in culture, you need to listen to this cast. I often encounter senior managers who make the decision to improve their organizational culture.

Every time i hear these two often repeated phrases I cringe. It seems to me this is lazy thinking. Okay sure there may actually be a valid reason somewhere in the distant past when the way we do things was designed that that way actually made sense. However, most of the time we hear these phrases it's just lazy thinking. In this cast learn why managers resist change and what specific actions you can take to help them engage in it and improve your business processes.

They hire leaders that already have the training, development, and experience needed such that they can put them in position and let them perform. There is a flaw in this perspective. If everyone did the same, where would we find the next generation of leader? No where... Perhaps you have different perspective and believe in promoting from within. Again if you are not actively developing leaders, you are living the Peter Principle, promoting people to their level of incompetence. This is a recipe for mediocre performance. The most important role of leadership is the development of the leaders around you. The question is though how to do this. In this cast we walk through a simple process that when diligently followed will develop the leaders around you and position your firm for continued high performance. It starts with implementing a process of one on one meetings to develop trust based relationships. As this process develops, we can ask targeted questions to get them to share their thinking on strategic topics When they share their thinking, they open the door for you to mentor them on how to think through and act upon these topics.
