Three Steps to Flexible Leadership

By Ron Price

From The Complete Leader Podcast Episode #64

When I think about flexibility, I often think about trees. Trees show off their flexibility in the way they endure storms or handle wind, ice, and snow. For many trees, their flexibility is a combination of strength and their ability to bend but not break—their deep root systems offer leverage, balance, and a great capacity for holding on in the midst of challenging circumstances.

Sometimes as a leader, you need to be like a tree. Flexibility is one of the most important skills you can have, especially during times of constant change and disruption.

Emotions and the Quality of Our Thinking

Host Dale Dixon and TCL Author and Founder Ron Price discuss the role of emotion in our thinking as leaders. Studies in neuroscience indicate that thinking creates emotion instead of emotion establishing our thinking. Ron explains how our brain subconsciously makes predictions through our past experiences, our body sending messages to the brain about the energy it needs, and how the external environment is influencing us. He also describes how emotional intelligence helps leaders recognize the depth that emotions impede their predictive judgements.

Aspirational vs Desperational Leadership

By Ron Price

From Episode 63 of the Complete Leader Podcast

After decades in leadership, I’ve noticed that often what you become most passionate about are the things you realize you didn’t do quite right yourself.

Thinking back on the first couple of decades of my leadership career, I was always trying to fix myself. I had trouble with time management, so I’d take every course and read every book on the skill that I came across. I was always focused on those things that I thought were keeping me from becoming the complete leader.

But eventually I realized I was doing it all wrong.

The Shift in Leadership Thinking

Host Dale Dixon and TCL Author and Founder Ron Price discuss the thinking patterns of the modern-day leader. With technological advances, we have much more information to process and think about. Unfortunately, this doesn’t leave room to think deeply. Leaders MUST discipline their thinking to make impactful decisions that positively affect their staff, vendors, and partners. Dale and Ron outline easily applicable strategies to develop a richer way of thinking.

Four Ways to Intentionally Develop Your Leadership Abilities

By Ron Price, President TTI

From Episode 59 of The Complete Leader Podcast

After all of the years that I’ve worked in leadership, there is one question that resurfaces again and again: Are leaders born or made?

While you can’t ignore that everyone is born with certain traits that will affect leadership abilities, this is not the end of the journey. Part of the challenge as leaders is to understand what those traits are and how to further develop them.

This is why I truly believe that leaders are both born and made.

Reflections to Prepare for a Successful 2022

By Ron Price, TCL Founder

As you begin the New Year and consider the possibility that a new year offers, this is a great opportunity to take some time to reflect on your influence in both your career and your personal life. Reflection can be a powerful tool in guiding your direction and intention for the year. Here are a few aspects to consider and questions to ask yourself:

Your influence grows (or decreases) based on three dimensions: character, expertise, position.

Your character is what others observe about how you govern yourself and what they experience or notice in how you relate to others.

Persuasion: How Leaders Can Inspire Commitment in Their Teams

By Ron Price

From Episode 72 of The Complete Leader Podcast

Of all the skills in the Complete Leader skillset library, persuasion is one that never elicits a neutral response. People either love the idea of it or are repulsed by it, often because of the negative connotation of the word. While it is sometimes used interchangeably with “manipulation,” the motive behind persuasion makes all the difference, and it is actually a critical skill to develop while on the journey to becoming a Complete Leader. Ultimately, one of the most important roles of a leader is to inspire or persuade people to make commitments that they wouldn’t otherwise make.

Finding the Hidden Treasure in Every Employee

By Ron Price
Podcast Episode 78

As a leader, developing and coaching others is a necessary skill in my arsenal. Supporting professional growth in others, to me, feels like finding hidden treasure. I can know you have potential, but to help you, I need to discover what exactly it is and what the best pathway for you develop that potential.

That’s why when I begin coaching someone new, I always say, “You know, 90% of the success we’re going to have working together is credited to you. I only get 10%. You get 90% because it’s YOUR potential, not mine! It’s who you are and what you decide to do to become the best version of yourself that’s going to create results.”
