Leo & Randy On Opportunities With Phil Holberton

We’re joined today by Boston-based Vistage Chair Phil Holberton. During this coronavirus pandemic, Phil’s CEO peer groups have collectively and individually faced personal and professional disruptions. This challenge has brought the group members closer together and made them value their work together more highly. Many CEOs are growing increasingly focused on the opportunities as society begins to slowly move past this current crisis.

For ideas on why leaning on your peers and serving one another at this critical time has never been more important, listen to our podcast.  If you have questions or ideas for us, contact us today.

Leo & Randy On Virtual Meetings

Virtual meetings have become the norm during the coronavirus pandemic, as every industry and organization has been disrupted.  While most of us are becoming more proficient at participating in virtual meetings, presenting at virtual meetings, especially during a pandemic, is just not the same as presenting in person.  Seminar leaders, content presenters, and others are likely having to make some major adjustments in order to create and maintain high engagement using video conferencing platforms.

Leo & Randy On Staying At Home

The global Covid-19 crisis now has most of us in America living under a “shelter in place” rule, meaning we’re isolated at home except to take care of things necessary to maintain our health and safety. We can go to the pharmacy, grocery store, gas station, bank, pick up take-out food, etc. Otherwise, the government wants us to stay at home.

How are you getting along during this time? Are you doing things you wouldn’t otherwise be doing? For instance, Leo and his family report they’re sitting down for dinner together every night, something many of us haven’t done since we were kids. Today, on the What Anyone Can Do podcast, we talk about coping with this new stay at home law .

Do you want to laugh? Then watch these brilliant Tweets by a British “football” announcer (Nick Heath) who is using this time to put his play-by-play skills to good use.

Leo & Randy On Coronavirus

Covid19 has created a level of global uncertainty that cuts to the heart of our collective humanity.  It seems like yesterday people were enjoying a great start to the new year.  Today, many are now wondering if they’ll survive – economically or physically.  Such a seismic shift in market, physical and emotional conditions is rocking the very foundation of our society.

Who you surround yourself matters. Especially now. As we distance socially from physical contact, it’s more important than ever that we remain connected.  We’ll get through this, but it will take all of us working together to make that happen.  Today, we talk about the importance and value of doing so.

For ideas on how you can lean on your peers and serve them at the same time, listen to our podcast.  If you have questions or ideas for us, contact us today.

Leo & Randy On Trial & Error

Leo kicks off today’s discussion with a phrase that speaks to what inhibits too many of us from taking meaningful action – psychological safety. Quite simply, we’re afraid. The result? Inaction.

The highest achievers lean into doing things and figuring it out as they go. It’s largely trial and error activity unbothered by imperfection.

Anglero, the Director of Innovation for IBM Nordic, will write the Afterword.  Thomas also appeared on our podcast. Leo explains why they’re an ideal fit for these important parts of the book.

Leo & Randy On Truth To Power

Leo published an article at CEOWORLD last May (2019) about speaking truth to power. He approached it from the vantage point of both the leader (CEO) and those who report to the leader (employees).

Mark Twain said, “Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.” However, Leo and Randy maintain we’re all worthy of it. Speaking the truth to power isn’t always easy, but there’s value in pursuing the ideal. Today, Leo and Randy discuss the main points of the CEOWorld article (see the links below).
