Today is June 2, 2023.
It's 2023...and we are still dealing with bullying in the workplace. Season 2; Episode 10 of RAW Leadership, The Podcast tackles this topic. NOT as a competency leaders should master - no. This episode outlines the impact of bullying in the workplace - to the individual, the team, the organization, as well as how we can all deal with these energy vampires. As we celebrate Pride Month 🌈 - let's not forget that those who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community are often victims of bullying. It has to stop. It's 2023 for crying out loud! #rawleadership #stopthehate #loveislove #pride2023 #allyship
In today's ever-changing world of work, the ability to be brave and take risks is essential for professional growth and success. While the word bravery often conjures images of daring acts, such as skydiving or climbing mountains, being brave in the workplace entails a different kind of courage. It involves stepping out of your comfort zone, challenging the status quo, and embracing new opportunities. In this episode of Raw Leadership: The Podcast, we will explore the importance of being brave at work and how it can lead to personal and professional fulfillment.
Hope without a plan is just that - Hope. A plan without action is just that - a Plan. A leader's ability to lean into and take action is the key to delivering the outcomes your team and organization need. Episode 8 of Raw Leadership: The Podcast offers some insight into becoming an action-oriented leader.
Authenticity is about being genuine. How do you lead with authenticity? How do you present your organization to the outside world in an authentic manner? Episode 7 of Raw Leadership: The Podcast tackles these questions and offers some pretty simple ideas on creating authentic workplaces.
Accountability isn't just about holding those in our charge accountable. Accountability is much broader than that. In this episode we dive into self-accountability, holding those who do not report to us accountable and finally, holding vendors accountable. Why should you drive accountability in these areas and how should you do it?
Let's give this another shot - I started the ABC's of Leadership over a year ago on LinkedIn. The podcast platform is a much easier way for me to keep up with this series. So, here we go again! A is for Accountability. The foundation for effective leadership. Without Accountability, well, you've got nothing, nada, zip, zilch. Go back to the B.A.R. to get started!
Episode 3 focused on setting the B.A.R. - expectations around Behaviors, Attitudes and Results. Well, now what? Setting the B.A.R. is not where it ends. It is actually where it all begins. This episode walks leaders through the 3-4 things they should be doing to manage to said expectations. How do we keep our people on the path, or the yellow brick road as I like to call it? Listen in and find out!
We are nearing the end of the first quarter of the year 2023 and most employees still don't have a clear understanding of what success looks like in their roles. Organizations are still not setting clear expectations by role. Performance evaluations are still yielding 'deer in the headlights' moments from employees and this is a big problem. The lack of clear expectations has significant repercussions. In this episode of Raw Leadership: The Podcast I offer a pretty simple solution. Listen in so you can learn how to set the B.A.R. and offer your teams clarity on what success looks like in their roles.
Following on the heels of the Saturday Morning Leadership podcast I thought it would be important to dive into the concept of work-life balance. I mentioned in the last podcast I recorded with Shelley Smith [owner of Premier Rapport] that I felt the idea of work-life balance was a fallacy and felt it was important to help my audience understand why I feel that way, how we should be looking at work and life, and what things we can do to drive synergy or integration between the two. Listen in and let me know what you think. #rawleadership
Millions of people are resigning from their jobs every month. Millions, but why? Is it really because they don't want to work? Is it really because they are afraid of returning to work amidst the pandemic? Nah! The real reasons for this tsunami of resignations are forcing employers to hold up a mirror - because THEY are the real reason for this insanity. But wait! Is this really new news??? Take a listen and find out!
Being flexible is great. It really is, but flexibility has limits. Eventually something that is flexible will snap or break when pushed beyond its limits. Water on the other hand is fluid. It moves and adapts within the confines of what holds it. Leadership needs to be like water - it needs to be fluid.
Leaders sometimes get in the way of their team's ability to actually do their jobs well. The story shared in this episode is a prime example of what happens when we don't get out of the way and give our people the tools they need to do their jobs. It's all about the drill!!!
The introductory episode of the no holds barred, no B.S. podcast on all things leadership. In this episode the host will answer three questions:
1. Who should listen to this episode?
2. Why should listeners tune into Raw Leadership The Podcast?
3. Who is Elizabeth Veliz, and really, why should anybody care?
