Show Notes
0:00 Welcome to the show, gang. We tell truth to power, because let’s face it, Power will never find us here. We dedicate this show to Hamurabi, king of Babylon and model for all of us to document, document, document.
3:40 our quote of the week is from Machiavelli, but having a bad reputation doesn’t make it wrong. Do you surround yourself with smart people?
4:30 Welcome back Kevin Eikenberry, author of Remarkable Leadership and a good egg. This is an on the record version of conversations we’ve had off line for a while. Why doesn’t leadership development training seem to work? Okay, one more time… training is an event. Learning is a process.
9:00 There’s nothing necessarily wrong with your training or your trainer, it’s about linking it and using it your real world. It’s hard to show you’re now better than you were when you came in. How do we turn it into a process?
11:21 How do we turn learning into action? Kevin holds us accountable. Oh thanks, we need more of THAT. He does give me a good tip about giving yourself processing time.
14:33 Despite what they tell us in consultant school, this will never happen on an organizational basis. it starts with us.
17:30 Leadership is made up of a bunch of competencies (pick your own model at your leisure) but one big one is be a learner, and encourage learning on your team. Are you helping them apply what they learn when they learn it? Are you even sharing THIS show with your team and why the heck not?
25:00 Kevin tells us about his teleseminars. You can get the month of May for free by signing up and using the link here. or you can reach him at www.kevineikenberry.com
