  • Summary

  • THERE ARE FEW NATURAL-BORN LEADERS Leadership is a learned skill and learning is never-ending. “What got you here won’t get you where you want to go,” is an uncomfortable truth Fast Rising High Achievers run into at every level of their career. In fact, what got you here won’t even help you do your new job effectively. Every step up the ladder requires a new level of leadership and “people skills.” Because “people” are now your job. This podcast is here to help you master skills on four fronts on your way to the senior leadership team. LEADING UP – You are now a trusted advisor. That means you are a sounding board, speak truth to power, and help your CEO get their job done, all while getting your job done. LEADING ACROSS – You are peers are the power players in the organization. This is the team you are on. Your job is to lead from within that team while being a part of it. You are now a student of the Art of Co-opetition. LEADING YOUR TEAM – You’ve spent a career honing your leadership skills and now have an even less direct impact on how things get done. Your success will only come from your team’s success. LEADING YOURSELF – Relentless pressure, ambition, burnout, sleepless nights, and resentments, are the price you may be paying for your lofty position. Mastering your emotions, perspective, health, and relationships are essential to make this fun and sustainable. The conversations, resources, and subject matter experts we will have is designed to help you “level up” in all four of these focus areas. Each week we will tackle a topic that will move you forward in your relationships with your boss, your peers, your team, and yourself. You'll be armed with tools and insights you will use throughout your career and in your personal life.

    Today, I'll share personal anecdotes and professional insights gleaned from over thirty years of leadership coaching and from my conversations with thousands of leaders worldwide. I'll discuss how pausing has not only prevented situations from escalating but also allowed for deeper understanding and resolution in both professional and personal contexts.

  • Beyond the Bottom Line - Will Keiper's Approach to Compassionate Leadership

    Beyond the Bottom Line - Will Keiper's Approach to Compassionate Leadership
    Apr 24 2024
    In this week’s episode, we delve into the evolution of leadership from a rigid, old-school approach to one that embraces empathy, compassion, and authenticity. My conversation with Will Keiper, an accomplished author and thinker, uncovers the transformative power of being present and aware of one's own thoughts and emotions, and how these principles are crucial for effective leadership both in the business world and in personal realms. Will Keiper is a celebrated author and leadership consultant with a rich background in transforming business dynamics through conscious leadership. Having been influenced by past mentors who valued financial success above all, Will experienced a profound shift toward a more compassionate and present-centric approach to leading others. His latest book, "Noticing," encapsulates his journey toward intentional living and the cultivation of a mindful presence within the ever-changing landscapes of modern work. "The essence of leadership is the ability to move others to a higher place, and this can manifest in even the simplest of one-on-one interactions."- Will Keiper Today on The Rising Leader: · The pivot from traditional, impersonal leadership to a style that values empathy and human connection.· An understanding that true presence and acknowledging the moment can profoundly affect personal well-being and leadership effectiveness.· How personal challenges and relapses can serve as critical touchstones for growth and self-reflection.· The need for leaders, now more than ever, to recognize the human aspect in their teams, especially with the changes forced by automation and remote work.· The concept of 'Noticing' as a transformative practice to still the mind and become fully engaged with life's moments.· The idea that everyone has the potential to lead, irrespective of their role—leadership is an action, not a position.· Embracing change requires leaders to create a culture of acceptance, care, and authenticity.· The power of sharing vulnerabilities and being transparent can transform relationships and foster trust.
