Some people feel that work-life balance is not achievable, that it's a myth, and that you can't really have it if you want to get ahead. Tune in this week for Reshad's thoughts on how we can place a higher importance on this issue and why it's needed.

Leadership development is, too often, more like a "choose-your-own-adventure" novel than a guided journey. Although personal responsibility is important, we as leaders, need to be paying attention to how we are growing our people. Handing someone the keys to the building and a title just isn't good enough, we need to be great guides. The Weekly Leadership Experience will be on break until September 6th.  Rate This Podcast Send in your questions to [email protected] Show notes at www.reshadoberlander.com/062 Reshad on LinkedIn

You might not usually think of LOVE as an essential ingredient in successful business or leadership, but it plays a bigger role than you think. Love, the verb, has to do with your disposition towards other people and how you treat them. Building a business culture and your leadership based on love has the potential for phenomenal results. Drawing on his 25+ years of experience as CEO of major corporations, Joel Manby wrote LoveWorks detailing how to integrate “love the verb” into the leadership ethos and philosophy of any organization. This servant leadership approach has been systematically proven to transform organizations through lower turnover, higher employee engagement, more satisfied customers, and stronger profits.

It's no secret that change is difficult. Everyone wants change, no one wants TO change, and even fewer people want to LEAD change. If that's not enough, most change is met with resistance, obstacles, buried artifacts, and a leader's own challenges with influence. So how do we overcome these challenges and effectively lead and influence change? Nancy Murphy, Founder & President of CSR Communications, shares how we can uncover the artifacts that may be impeding change, how we can draw on the four types of influence, and how to address resistance.  Rate This Podcast Send in your questions to [email protected] Show notes at www.reshadoberlander.com/059 www.csrcommunications.com Nancy on LinkedIn CSR Communications Facebook Reshad on LinkedIn
