The Leader's Toolkit

Keith Glover of AHSG is back for another episode and he has the details of how their organization has implemented the GiANT tools and integrated the content into their organization. After three years of using GiANT, they now have trained everyone with a leadership role within their organization using Altitude Training or Toolkit sessions. They've done this with a mix of live-training and virtual training. Keith mentions that because AHSG knows their people learn in different ways, they have introduced the GiANT leadership training through as many avenues as they can to make sure they meet the needs of the various styles of learning. They've purchased GiANT books like 100X Leader Book,The Peace Index and The Communication Code for their employees. They also facilitate workshops, Core Groups, and one-on-one coaching. They access the GiANT operating system for assessment and on-going learning through the courses, and have even brought in GiANT Founder, Jeremie Kubicek to kick of initiatives each year with keynote presentations. They don't just give the information to their people in hopes that they will adopt it into their culture. They actually live out the tools from the top and integrate it into their every day language, making it a lifestyle there at AHSG.If you'd like to introduce your people to the concepts of GiANT through our various books, you can get copies at Amazon.

Does GiANT work? This is something we hear from potential clients often. It's one thing to learn leadership tools in theory; it's another to put them into practice within a team or organization in an every day work environment. Thousands of companies around the world are doing it every day, so we wanted you to hear from one. Our guest is Keith Glover and he is a true people developer who seeks to serve  his people day in and day out and make the culture at AHSG an environment of learning, where everyone is encouraged and equipped to grow. Headquartered in Edmond, Oklahoma and with five offices around the country, AHSG is a nationwide, diversified healthcare staffing platform that serves over 2,500 endpoints across health systems, hospitals, and outpatient clinics in all 50 states.You can can hear Keith's love and passion for developing his own leadership skills and the leadership of people in his care. Listen as he shares why it's important and the plan forward to help every employee become the healthiest leader that can be. And it has started at the top and is lived out even in the difficult time of the company's journey.If you would like to ask Keith questions about how he and AHS have integrated the GiANT tools into their culture, feel free to reach out to him on LinkedIn.You'll hear the practical ways AHS is using GiANT in the next episode, but for now, look what the emplyees are saying about what the content has done for them.93% of the program participants stated that their expectations were exceeded or mostly met.94% were Very Satisfied or Satisfied with the overall programSome comments were:One positive outcome is being able to understand myself and habits more throughout this experience. I have had some pretty big ah-ha moments throughout the process that have helped me became a more aware leader. Knowing my teams 5 voices has helped tremendously with effective communication.It's helped me present myself in a way that is more approachable to my team. To be open to suggestions and be in collaboration to improve outcomes.I am more attuned to becoming a liberating leader and the role that challenging my staff must play in that process. Supporting my team comes naturally to me. I'm now actively working to ensure that team members are adequately challenged and can develop and grow more within and beyond their current roles.I have connected with other leaders in the organization, outside of my department, where I wouldn't have done that previously. I have recognized the areas I need to improve as a leader and am taking action to work on those. I've had more positive interactions with my employees, and have received positive feedback from them about my leadership!I have become more self-aware and self-reflective. I was really impacted by the Developing Others content and realized that I need to be more patient in walking others through new skill-building. Additionally, the support challenge matrix helped me realize that I may be sheltering new peers from challenges and that really robs them of opportunity to grow.Helps me better recognize why people communicate the way they do, and how I need to look for the ways other people are motivated/encouraged/discouraged, rather than assuming they think like me.The 70/30 principle has profoundly transformed my approach to work. Although I was introduced to it a few years back, a recent podcast on the topic truly reshaped my viewpoint. Now, rather than approaching tasks, I'm less inclined towards (my 30%) with dread, I give myself grace and embrace them with patience and eagerness for the learning opportunity they present. This shift in perspective energizes me rather than sapping my strength. It has also enabled me to guide my team in reevaluating their approaches to daunting tasks. I've become more attuned to assessing my team's workload balance, ensuring it aligns with the 70/30 principle. If/when imbalances arise, we strategize together to restore equilibrium, fostering success and ongoing learning.

If you've never been called out, you've probably witnessed it. It's embarrassing, deflating and degrading. There's a better way. Our guest, Julliette Odhiambo, introduces us to the concept of calling someone up, instead of calling them out. A supportive and honoring approach to challenge someone we lead means that when a mistake is made, or if motivation is required, we do it in a caring way where our mindset is to develop them into great employees and future (or present) leaders.  We do this in a way that fights for their highest good. Julliette Odhiambo focuses on leading young people and she sees the results of calling up. People rise to the level of your belief in them. It doesn't mean we shy away from challenge or from difficult conversations, but it does mean we do it in a way that allows them to grow and learn all with the respect and value they deserve.  Not only does Juliette say that we don't shy away from challenging conversations, but she says great leadership leans into these conversations in order to help the person mature and grow. It would be unkind to let them get by with behavior that is not to the standard you know they should be. Juliette shares the Dr. Cecil Murray quote that says "Speak without offending; listen without being defensive; and always leave the other person with their dignity."  The goal is to continue to value the person. She also brings up a tool from previous episodes, The 5 Circles of influence to highlight the importance of living out this tool with every group of people we encounter, including ourselves.Juliette is a leadership development coach.

This episode centers around The Core of a Leader. Rich Webb details the three areas of awareness leaders must focus on: IQ, EQ, and PQ. The question is: do you know what it's like to be on the other side of you? Just like an athlete develops their Core strength, a leader must develop the core of their leadership. Are there areas in you that need strengthened? Because we don't always know what it's like to be on the other side of ourselves, we must get feedback. Of course this takes psychological safety. People must be able to trust that they can be honest without any risk of consequence. So take a look in the mirror, be honest with yourself and get feedback. Now take action and make the changes necessary. What about you? Which of these needs work - EQ, IQ or PQ? Take a look at The Core tool and other tools referenced in this episode.Rich listed a lot of facts and data around the importance of bolstering our Core as a leader. Check that data out here.You can find Rich Webb at his website: Performance Ninja. Take a look around and feel free to reach out to him on the chat bot in the bottom right corner.

Thoughts drive actions, that drive habits, which result in outcomes.How you think about yourself impacts your actions. Are you secure, confident and humble as a leader? Do you know what you're good at and the value you can add to your team? And are you passing that mindset onto your people so they can reach their potential too?How you think about your team determines how you lead your team. Don't limit your ability to lead them by not believing in them. As a leader we need to believe in the best of everyone we're leading and we have to see their potential and call them up in that.The beauty of thoughts is that they are a choice. Your mindset is a muscle. The more you build it, the stronger it becomes.  So, think about how you think.If someone on your team continues to have a negative mindset or attitude, a healthy leader must have the difficult conversation of calling them up on that behavior.

What would have to happen for every person on a team to become relationally intelligent? The Communication Code book and tool will transform the way you communicate with those that you work with and those at home.Jeremie gives the five "C's" within the Communication Code:CareCelebrateClarifyCollaborateCritiqueEach personality or Voice tends to use a certain code.

Imagine a world where you get to work in your natural strengths most of the time. To be energized and fulfilled according to your skillset and your natural strengths would be a dream come true. Chris Ediger introduces us to the 70:30 Principle. This gives leaders insight for understanding  why they are sometimes drained within their job and at other times energized. It gives a practical framework to adjust to be able to have a healthy balance.Chris gives a great exercise to try. On one side of a piece of paper write down a list of your natural strengths - those things that bring you energy and are your "sweet spots". On the other side of the page, write down those things that are draining - those things that you have to really work at, that are not natural to you. Now take inventory of how much of your work day is spent on each. The goal is to spend about 70% of your time in your strengths and unconscious competencies, with only about 30% in those things that are not natural to you. Now, don't go and quit your job if this is off balance. Instead, start making a plan as to how you can start making adjustments to get in a place where you are working in the areas that most suit you. It may be that if you work on a team, you all will be able to do this exercise together and move around responsibilities to make sure each member's strengths are really being maximized.Chris Ediger mentioned that he loves working with craft breweries.

On this episode, Masi Willis walks us through a "word cloud" of each quadrant of the Support Challenge Matrix in order to see where we land as leaders when it comes to the way our people experience us on the other side of us. Listen to the descriptive words she uses to see if you land more in the protector, liberator, abdicator or dominator quadrant. One of the most humble things you can do as a leader is to become self-aware and to take a good, hard look in the mirror. Do you want to learn how your organization can tap into the expertise of leadership coach and consultant, Masi Willis?

As we continue to explore the Support/Challenge Matrix, it's time to plot ourselves on this tool. Print off or copy this tool so you have it in front of you visually. Review each quadrant. Now think of yourself as a leader to your team at work. Where would you place yourself on this tool? If you're a parent, where would you put yourself?It's very hard to see ourselves clearly, so if you're brave enough (and ready for the truth), print this tool off and let everyone on your team put a dot on the quadrant where they feel you land. How do they experience you as a leader? And do their perspectives match how you saw yourself to them?If you find that you land in a quadrant other than the liberate quadrant, do the hard work of asking yourself why. "Why do I tend to give challenge but little support?" or "Why do I give support but have a hard time challenging my people? or "Why have I abdicated my role as a leader and I offer little support and little challenge". Humble leaders become self-aware and then make the necessary changes of growth. To find helpful resources in regards to this episode: Episode 8 ResourcesTo get more information about GiANT, check out our website: www.theleaderstoolkitpodcast.comWe certify people within their organizations in the GiANT content so they can share it with the rest of their people.

Leaders must learn to hold two components of leadership at the same time: support and challenge. Although it sounds easy, it's not. Most people are either good at support or they are good at challenge, but not usually both. It takes effort and intentionality to calibrate the two in a healthy way so that you can liberate those you lead and create cultures of opportunity and empowerment.Learn the four quadrants of this tool and then take some time to evaluate where you normally show up. Are you a Protector, Dominator, Abdicator or Liberator? The goal is to fight for the highest possible good of those you lead, which means you must becoming intentional to move to the Liberator quadrant. Do you want to try out the Pro subscription for yourself, your team or your entire organization?

It's miserable having to follow someone who you have little respect for. They may be in a position of power or a role of leadership, and because of their role, you comply. But isn't it so much more enjoyable to follow someone who you admire, respect and feel they are worthy of being followed. A lack of self-awareness is a sure fire way to lose followers. When a leader expects things out of their people but they aren't leading by example, hypocrisy turns everyone sour and they do everything in their power to move on to someone they want to follow instead of have to follow.In this episode, Amy Mast walks us through a simple yet powerful leadership tool that allows leaders to look in the mirror in order to notice the tendencies and patterns that undermine their influence. Check out the Know Yourself To Lead Yourself Tool and let it do it's refining work on you.Order any of the GiANT books written by Steve Cockram and/or Jeremie Kubicek here:  BOOKSTo get more information about GiANT, check out our website: www.theleaderstoolkitpodcast.comWould you like to learn more about becoming a GiANT Catalyst?
