Leadership by Daniel Goleman

Liz Fosslien

We are emotional beings and this is what differentiates us and most of the time this makes or breaks how we perform a certain task. Which makes me remember what my superior told me in my previous workplace. He said that it’s not the work that is challenging but the people that make it challenging. I looked at him puzzled at that time, not saying anything back since I didn’t want to get shouted at or hit. But thinking about it now, it does make sense. What we will discuss today is a practical book for better managing the emotional side of work and building the skills needed to enhance performance to keep growing by managing the negative emotions and finding motivation when there seems to be none.

Brene Brown

We all at one point in time played leadership roles in our personal or professional lives. And maybe there is a high chance that we fell into one of the many leadership traps that exist in our modern culture today. Some of the common ones may be that we had to look strong and couldn’t admit a failure, or maybe we failed to tell the truth because we didn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings, or maybe we said something that offended someone when it wasn’t our intention. And these things happen more than often because there is an ideal leader portrayed in society. But the book that we will discuss today will dispel the common myths and misconceptions and show how true leadership should be through vulnerability, values, trust, and resilience. Hosted on Acast.

Dare to Lead by Brene Brown

Mel Robbins

I have been reflecting a lot on how my own culture affected who I am today. And being an asian, who has absorbed and studied different cultures, I realized that I deal with a huge amount of self-limiting beliefs that hinder me from doing a lot of things. And it seems like most asians - specially the ones that live in Southeast asia deal with this. So whether you are dealing with your own self limiting beliefs, or know someone struggling with self limiting beliefs, this discussion might be useful for you. Hosted on Acast.

I hear from a lot of people that they want to practice being servant leaders. As good as it is as a concept, most of the time, trying to practice this takes a toll on the leaders since in the process they tend to neglect themselves. And I have even talked to some leaders who feel guilty when they take the time or take care of themselves. And it happens to the best of us. I also experience this from time to time. This is why I always remember this book. It is a great reminder that I go through over and over again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lead Yourself First by Raymond Kethledge and Michael Erwin

Alexander Osterwalder

The culture of hustling and working hard to find crazy new ideas has been the “in” thing because of all the startups and success stories out there. And this has been taking a toll on most companies. Think about it, how many times have we been told to innovate, or seek new markets? And maybe even we have caught ourselves saying the same. This in return also burns us, our peers, or even our employees in the long run. And makes the company forget why it exists in the first place. So what should we or the companies do to be successful? Here is a discussion exploring the secrets of successful companies that do better without “disrupting” or continuously seeking new markets. Hosted on Acast.

Changing behavior is challenging. But we all know that somehow we need to be able to change something or continuously change so that we become the person we dream of becoming. Come to think of it, even the person that we want to be, changes, but that's another topic altogether. So, how do we change behavior, especially now that we are more stubborn than ever as adults? Let's try to clear things out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Triggers by Marshall Goldsmith and Mark Reiter

Alain De Botton

What I have observed these days is that people are not so much fixated on the fact that they have to climb the corporate ladder. Which is a good thing. But it has been replaced by the desire to be seen as someone successful. And social media plays a big role. Constantly comparing ourselves to others. And this desire takes a toll on our physical and mental health. And I find myself in this situation too a lot of times. So how do we combat this climb of the never-ending social ladder?

I get asked this question a lot during my work, how can you unconsciously make better decisions by designing your environment? And this book is the answer. What's different about this decision-making book is that the focus is on the environment design rather than one’s strength, willpower, talent, etc. This leads to choice architecture!

Success, everybody talks about it and everybody wants to achieve it and only a few are willing to put in the hard work. And recently it's not anymore about hard work. But working smart. But working smart sometimes is not deemed sustainable. So what is it really? The truth is, it's discipline. it makes all the difference. This reminds me of what Les Brown said, and I quote "To be successful, you must be willing to do the things today others won't do in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have."

The Self-Discipline Blueprint by Patrik Edblad

David Marquet

I get asked this question a lot, what skill do you need to become a great leader?And when I think about it all boils down to the language that the leader uses. Not the actual language that different countries use like English or Korean, but the method or way of communication. Yeah. You can have the greatest ideas in the world but if you cant translate that into a language that will make people take action. Then I think your leadership wouldn't be as effective as it could be.But the issue right now is also the fact that the language we use in leadership hasn't really evolved. It's still how leaders should always direct and subordinates should always follow.So let's dive into how we can develop our leadership in language, better suited to the world today. Hosted on Acast.
