The Remarkable Leadership Podcast The Kevin Eikenberry Group

How do you move through stressful situations? Errol Doebler suggests you become an "ice cold” leader. Errol explains that science says our nervous system resets with cold (ice bath, cold shower…). When we clear our minds, we can focus on problem-solving. Errol shares his five-element process for problem-solving and decision-making and provides a framework for self-awareness and reflection. This process not only enhances individual leadership skills but also has a ripple effect on teams and organizations. By modeling self-awareness and reflection, leaders create a culture of continuous improvement and foster a positive work environment. As leaders embrace awareness and reflection, they unlock their full potential and make a lasting impact on their teams and organizations.

Is it better to prioritize making tasks quick and easy, or should you consider making them slower and more difficult? Bob Sutton suggests smart leaders can make the right things easier and the wrong things harder. Sutton joins Kevin to discuss the challenges faced by organizations as they grow, emphasizing the importance of recognizing both good and bad friction within teams and processes. He highlights the need to balance speed and thoroughness in decision-making, using examples like Google's hiring process evolution and the impact of inefficient workflows on employee morale and productivity. He also touches on leadership approaches like "management walking out of the room" to foster collaboration and decision-making and common traps organizations fall into, such as "addition sickness," where the default solution to problems is adding complexity instead of subtracting unnecessary elements.

He is an organizational psychologist and professor of Management Science and Engineering in the Stanford Engineering School.

 We’ve heard emotional intelligence is important for relationships. What about spiritual intelligence? Yosi Amram explains that spiritual intelligence isn't about religious beliefs but the embodiment of virtues like purpose, gratitude, joy, and integrity, which lead to a more fulfilling life. Spiritual intelligence involves embodying timeless virtues like purpose, service, gratitude, integrity, and intuition. Yosi also discusses the 7 dimensions that make up spiritual intelligence. These include meaning, grace, inner-directed, community, presence, truth, and wisdom. Spiritual intelligence isn't just about personal growth but also enables leaders to create more cohesive teams, authentic interactions, and a deep sense of purpose. Research shows humble, listening leaders are the most effective because they take a holistic perspective by integrating input from all stakeholders.
