Leadership development for everyone in the blue collar workforce, those who support them, and those who lead them. Leadership is influence. Influence is built daily, not in a day.There are two types of influence: 1) Artificial influence which comes with a title, position, or rank and is reserved for those who have formal authority over others; and 2) Authentic influence which is based on a person's character and the relationships they build, and it's available to anyone with or without a position of authority because it's based on moral authority (who you are and how you do what you do).

Practical, relevant, and authentic leadership lessons you can apply

Leadership development for everyone in the blue collar workforce, those who support them, and those who lead them. Leadership is influence. Influence is built daily, not in a day.

It's my pleasure to share some wisdom from my personal friend and mentor, Jimmy Collins. Jimmy retired as President and COO of Chick-fil-A in 2001 when Chick-fil-A reached $1 Billion in annual sales.

Blue-Collar Leadership: Leading from the Front Lines (Part 28 of 30) Stretch yourself intentionally because all of your growth happens outside your comfort zone. Jim Rohn said it best, "If you work hard on your job, you'll make a living, but if you work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune."

Blue-Collar Leadership: Leading from the Front Lines (Part 4 of 30) Common sense is never enough. Often, you must also have uncommon sense to do what is commonly understood. As George Washington Carver stated so well, "When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world."

Blue-Collar Leadership: Leading from the Front Lines (Part 21 of 30) Think of yourself less. There's a fine line between arrogance and confidence. It's called humility. As Ken Blanchard says, "People with humility don't think less of themselves. They just think about themselves less. Arrogant people create distrust. Confident people build trust.

85: Be confident but not cocky.

There's no need to keep trying to decide if you are a leader, a follower, or a manager. You are all three all the time. You are constantly leading and influencing others (leader), personally and professionally. You are constantly being led and influenced by others (follower), personally and professionally.  You are constantly managing things and processes (manager), personally and professionally.

102: Everyone is a leader, a follower, and a manager.

What I learned from the 7 Habits (Part 1 of 7). In this episode, I share the most important leadership principle I've ever learned. Learn what it means to "Be Proactive" instead of being reactive. Learn how and why you should focus on your "circle of influence" and why you should avoid your "circle of concern."

16: The most important principle I've ever learned.

In this episode, I share a great quote related to "Managing vs. Leading" by Bob Chapman who is the CEO of Barry-Wehmiller and author of Everybody Matters. He is the best example of a high impact leader at the CEO level that I'm aware of at the moment. He has raised the bar on what high impact leadership looks and feels like. Bob leads a $2 Billion global organization made up of over 10,000 team members: an amazing blue-collar workforce, those who lead them, and those who support them.

41: Management & Manipulation vs. Leadership & Stewardship.

Blue-Collar Leadership: Leading from the Front Lines (Part 17 of 30) Leaders always have followers. If others aren't following because they want to, there is no leadership. It's easy to tell whether you work for a boss or with a leader. You can tell because of how they make you feel. In this episode, I compare and contrast how bosses and leaders make their team feel. Bosses value position and power over others which is based on formal authority. Leaders value positive influence with others which is based on moral authority. No one wants to work for a boss. Everyone wants to work with a leader.

Blue-Collar Leadership: Leading from the Front Lines (Part 15 of 30) Character counts, and it counts A LOT! Your character will either limit you like an anchor or launch you like a rocket. Henry Cloud said it best, "Character is the ability to meet the demands of reality." Character is about much more than being a good or bad person. Character does determine if you're a good or bad person. However, character is about much more than being good or bad. Character is about how you do what you do and why you do what you do. Character is everything that you are.

<a href="https://bluecollarleaders.com/workers/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blue-Collar Leadership: Leading from the Front Lines</a> (Part 15 of 30) Character counts, and it counts A LOT! Your character will either limit you like an anchor or launch you like a rocket. Henry Cloud said it best, "Character is the ability to meet the demands of reality." Character is about much more than being a good or bad person. Character does determine if you're a good or bad person. However, character is about much more than being good or bad. Character is about how you do what you do and why you do what you do. Character is everything that you are.

Jason Denam

In this three part interview, Mack introduces you to someone he met in 2013 while at an electrical construction company conducting leadership development and personal growth training. Jason Denam was in one of Mack's first sessions. Jason was alert, attentive, and hungry. He bought-in to the principles Mack was sharing and immediately began transforming his life. His results are truly amazing! Jason has achieved tremendous results. From 2013 to 2014, he doubled his income. From 2013 to 2019, he has more than tripled his income and continues to climb the pay scale and the corporate ladder. He's attained higher and higher level leadership positions and continues to not only grow himself, but also enjoys growing and developing others on this team as he strives to unleash their potential. Much like Mack did in 2008, when Jason was introduced to leadership principles in 2013, he launched like a rocket and continues to soar while encouraging others to do the same. If Jason's story motivates and inspires you, he would love to hear from you. Please contact Jason Denam at JasonDenam@gmail.com Make it happen or someone else will. It might as well be YOU!

Michael Sandel explores the philosophical justifications made for national borders. Using a pioneering state-of-the-art studio at the Harvard Business School, Professor Sandel is joined by 60 participants from over 30 countries in a truly global digital space. Is there any moral distinction between a political refugee and an economic migrant? If people have the right to exit a country, why not a right to enter? Do nations have the right to protect the affluence of their citizens? And is there such a thing as a 'national identity'? These are just some of the questions addressed by Professor Sandel in this first edition of The Global Philosopher.Audience producer: Louise ColettaProducer: David EdmondsEditor: Richard Knight(Image taken by Rose Lincoln)
