The Look & Sound of Leadership

Two leaders in a long-running feud both want the fighting to stop but cannot find their way to peace. Their coach gives them each homework to quiet the ill intent they ascribe to the other, allowing respect to emerge.

It’s hard to stop fighting with a person who feels like sour milk.

Tom’s three steps to help stop a fight are:

• Self-awareness – how are you contributing to keeping the fight going
• Choose a different mindset – stop justifying your anger
• Self-Management – choose new behavior

A highly effective leader finds herself in the middle of a terrible mess, not of her own making. When her coach marvels at her ability to stay calm amidst the chaos, she shares a lesson she learned from her dad.

Tools and concepts in this episode:

“People are doing their best” embodies acceptance, and acceptance creates better outcomes.

Quiet cycles of doubt by:

• Clarify what exactly are you upset about;
• Identify what you feel about having those feelings;
• Decide what action you want to take.

Listen to the stories you tell yourself. If you hear villains and victims, are most likely ascribing bad intent. Don’t make up stories that create adversaries.

In addition to the tools discussed during this episode, Tom also talks about:

“Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High.”

Thanks from Tom and The Look & Sound of Leadership team.

A chief officer reflects on the burdens of senior leadership. While grateful for its privileges, he’s keenly aware his title can put up barriers between himself and others.

Typical burdens of leadership:

• People put up barriers because of your power;
• You are a public figure and will get judged, often harshly;
• You are always on display;
• Feeling entitled because of your heavy lifting.

Tom suggests three tips to help you manage your power:

• Get conscious about your power;
• Share selectively;
• Be humble.

With her company on the brink of disaster, a leader hungrily tackles the art of delegation, learning three models on the way.

The episode frames delegation as being primarily about getting your people ready.

To get people ready, screen each delegated task against three filters:

• Skills & Will – do people need training or coaching?
• Control – who has it and how much?
• Measurement – what is each person’s responsibility?

Our latest Tool has all three filters. Download it for free here.

A brilliant but rather shy leader is challenged by her management to be bigger, more executive, speak up more. She is grateful to work with a coach.

You can build muscle around getting your voice heard by creating homework for yourself. Think of it like going to the gym: working out regularly helps you build muscle.

When creating homework, ask yourself three questions:

• What am I going to pay attention to?
• What specific behavior am I going to start or stop?
• How will I measure success? (5% improvement)

During the episode, Tom gave Neela four pieces of homework to help her get her voice heard:

• Count the number of times you have an idea and choose not to say it out loud;
• Listen for your self-limiting beliefs. Look for patterns that trigger them. Who are you with? What’s the setting?
• In meetings, speak in the first ten minutes;
• In meetings, get your name “on the record” with regularity.

A leader is getting pressured to stop being so prickly and gain some humility. With her coach, she explores whether it’s even possible for humility to ever be a strength.

Core concepts in this episode:

• Humility is confidence without defensiveness.
• Assess yourself on the humility scale. “How do I respond to challenges?”
• Humble leaders are confident in their authority.
• Ask frequently: “How might I be wrong about this?”
• Humility requires active listening.

Questions addressed in this episode:

> Are humble leaders perceived as weak?

Some people may see humble leaders as weak, but humble leaders are actually confident in their authority.

> If humble leaders need confidence, will they be seen as arrogant?

No, because humble leaders do not fight for dominance. They invite the opinions of others and are non-defensive when challenged.

> How can I tell whether I am humble?

Ask yourself, “When I am challenged, what feelings do I experience?” Leaders who respond non-defensively are high in humility.

> What practices can I adopt to develop more humility?

Ask yourself frequently: “How might I be wrong about this?"

> What are the benefits to being a humble leader?

Your team will experience psychological safety and move towards high performance.

A chief officer is infuriated by the behavior of his egomaniacal CEO. With his coach, he explores how to be a healthy leader while reporting to a boss he doesn’t respect.

Core concepts in this episode:

• Egomaniacs rattle our sense of self.
• They will not change.
• Worrying does not help.
• Be accountable for how you show up. Manage yourself.
• Don’t take anything personally. They’re just a piece on a chess board.
• Ask yourself: “Am I seeing this person clearly?” Don’t allow emotions to drive your actions.
• Ask yourself: “How do I want to show up?” You have choice about what you prioritize and how you react in the workplace.

Resources mentioned in this episode:

Crucial Conversations provides scripts and thoughts that will help you manage yourself when dealing with difficult people.

A senior vice-president worries that attention on his people’s development will get overwhelmed in the volume of work. He asks his coach for tools to make the process effective and efficient.

Download our free tool that maps the Three Conversations Development Plan.

Core Concepts

Prioritizing professional development is hard.

The 3-Conversation model makes development easy for the leader and meaningful for the person.

The three conversations in summary:

• Define ‘what,’ ‘why’ and give homework;
• The person reflects on the homework and how they plan to improve;
• Periodic check-ins about the homework. ‘What are you learning?’

The leader’s role in these conversations:

• Clarify the ‘what’ and ‘why’
• Listen and encourage
• Ask, ‘What are you learning?’

After a leader turns around the performance of one of his direct reports, he and his coach explore how it happened. And how to make it stick.

Core ideas in the episode:

• Workplaces improve when positive feedback is present
• Our natural human negative bias is a barrier to giving positive feedback.
• Learn to notice when things go well.
• Tell people how they are helping solve the puzzle that is work.
• Research says the most effective feedback ratio is 4-to-1, positive to developmental.

Positive Feedback might sound like this:

• Recognize what’s going well – and be specific
• Appreciate how it’s helping solve the puzzle
• Express your thanks

Developmental Feedback might sound like this:

• Describe what happened – and be specific
• Explain how it affects the puzzle solving effort
• Express your hope for a different outcome

Knowing she’s never been good with people, a leader seeks coaching to her deepen relationships in ways she can tolerate.

Two ways to deepen workplace relationships:

Matching & Curiosity

4 Ways to Match:

• Match Purpose
• Match Energy
• Match Conversations
• Match Vulnerability

Express Curiosity by Asking Deep Questions

• Make sure your questions are open-ended
• Invite reflection
• Keep the other person talking

Answering questions powerfully is another way to deepen relationships. Check out our recent episode on that topic.

A leader was given one goal for his coaching: improve how he answered questions. Knowing he struggled with this not only at work, but at home, he asked his coach for tools.

Our free PDF shows the two scripts: one for closed-ended questions, one for open-ended. Download it here.

Don’t assume you know why people ask what they ask. You don’t. Ever.

The closed-ended script:

• Answer what’s asked
• Match Length
• Check for understanding
• Then add your details

No mattress stuffing!

It’s a customer service exchange.

The open-ended script:

• Start with a number
• Label the first item
• Explain in brief

Make the leap. Start with a number. It’ll be okay.

When you know things, use this script. You will sound expert.

The open-ended script is a variation of the Sorting & Labeling tool. Download the PDF and listen to the episode.
