Quote: "What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself" - Abraham Maslow

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead.

One of the big words in leadership research studies is "awareness." According to the Harvard Business Review, self-awareness is a key component of emotional intelligence which is the ability to recognize and understand one's own emotions, thoughts, and values and how that impacts behavior.

Dr. John Maxwell has studied, taught and lived out leadership for over five decades. In this episode, we dive into the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth with a look at the law of awareness. We cover the key questions that any leader seeking to grow personally or professionally should ask to activate growth. As Dr. John Maxwell states, "growth doesn't just happen." And when a leader grows in his or her leadership, everyone connected to that leader is impacted for the best.

Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values based company in Connecticut provide some practical examples of unlocking the law of awareness. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well. Pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.

Quote: "The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart" - Helen Keller

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead.

Leadership is one of those human qualities that "if you see it, you know it." In a time that our world is divisive, our world could use leaders that understand what it means to go above and beyond. In a leadership study conducted by Barna Group (a Christian think tank that is over fifty years old) in 2013, it was discovered at that time that the United States was in a leadership crisis. That was eleven years ago and it looks like we are at that same place again in 2024- we have a leadership crisis in our world! Anyone that has ever experienced great leadership in any sphere, knows that feeling- as Helen Keller stated in the listed quote- its leadership that can be felt with the heart.

Dr. John Maxwell has studied, taught and lived out leadership for over five decades. He provides some key principles in one of his newest books - High Road Leadership- in which he provides solutions to the current leadership crisis of our time. Our world is in desperate need of leaders in every sphere and space that knows how to bring people together rather than divide or separate people.

In this episode, we dive into some key principles from High Road Leadership and what that looks like. We provide a quick overview of the three roads of leadership: high, middle and low.
High Road Leaders - value others and bring people together.
Middle Road Leaders - seek value from others and move back and forth between sides.
Low Road Leaders - devalue others and divide people.

Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values based company in Connecticut discuss these pointers of high road leadership. For Christian leaders, a Biblical lens from 1 John 2: 6 (Whoever claims to live in Christ must live as Jesus did), takes the discussion deeper. The episode concludes with this reflective thought for all leaders - valuing others all begins with valuing yourself. As always, these leadership principles are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well. Pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life. Event Mentioned: High Road Leadership Complimentary Lunch and Learn (Oct 29th)

Quote: "We all have strengths and weaknesses. The best advice is to embrace, focus on, and nurture our strengths" - Dr. Charles Glassman

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead.

God created humans in such a way that each one has a unique DNA. We see God's greatness when it comes to identical twins who share 100% of their genes. They are typically of the same gender and very difficult to tell them apart. Fraternal twins on the other hand, share 50% of their genes and can be a mix of genders and look more like siblings. Yet each twin (identical or fraternal) have unique strengths in how they are wired for life. This is just many of the reasons why God is God! None like Him or ever will be! He is God all by Himself!

Dr. Don Clifton is the founder of strengths-based psychology and the grandfather of what is known as positive psychology. Clifton was counter-culture as he saw beyond the traditional field of psychology that focused on interventions as a way of helping people. Clifton saw a way of building up people through enabling conditions of life. This launched the strengths based science that sought to connect the naturally recurring patterns of people's thoughts, feelings or behaviors. He noted that these were "strengths" that made each person unique. These "strengths" when known and applied empowers people to thrive in all areas and contexts of life.

In this episode, we dive into what leading with strengths is all about. We take a quick look at the law of leverage from the 16 laws of communication. In this episode, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies, LLC- a values based system thinking company in Connecticut discuss why leading with strengths is important, what to do with those weaknesses and how to identify professional and personal growth. As always, these leadership principles are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well. Pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen with any industry leader in your life.

Quote "Life Is Now in Session- Are You Present?" - Dr. John Maxwell

Shoutout to co-host Mrs. Kristin Jaeck on her official launch here on Points of Leadership!

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead.

A 2023 global leadership development study by Harvard Business Publishing Corporate Learning highlighted some key things to help leaders prepare for the future and help organizations who are seeking effective approaches to be ready. From enhancing customer experience, to improving employee engagement and productivity to addressing diversity gaps in the workforce, the study provided some options for organizations to consider to help their people grow.

That is commendable for organizations seeking ways to help their leaders grow. However, growth is an intentional act that every leader has to embark upon if he or she desires to be better. As Dr. John Maxwell states, "growth doesn't just happen." And when a leader grows in his or her leadership, everyone connected to that leader is impacted for the best.

In this episode, we dive into the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth with a look at the law of intentionality. Just as a seed needs key things to activate its growth (water, air and sunlight), leaders also need some key things to activate their growth. In this special episode, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies, LLC- a values based system thinking company in Connecticut discuss three gaps that every leader needs to address in order to activate his or her growth. As always, these leadership principles are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well. Pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.

Quote "Everything rises and falls on leadership." - Dr. John C. Maxwell

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead.

Leadership is one of the most researched areas in organizational studies and for leadership practitioners. It has been said and emphasized our world is in a leadership crisis. Everyone benefits from great leadership and as Dr. John Maxwell states, "Everyone deserves to be led well." When a leader grows in his or her leadership, everyone connected to that leader are impacted for the best. It seems easy, however, effective leaders not only bring out the best in others, but they understand the cost of their own continuous growth if they want to stay on the cutting edge of their impact for the people they lead, care for and serve.

In this episode, we examine values based leadership that propels organizational effectiveness. In one of the reports published by the Journal of Values-Based Leadership, Fulford and Coleman (2022), explain the benefits of values-based leadership. They assert that values based leaders are open in sharing personal values with stakeholders and their actions and decision making processes are consistent with their values while being transparent and observed by all stakeholders and followers alike.

In this episode, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies, LLC- a values based system thinking company in Connecticut helps companies improve their organizational effectiveness. A business woman with over three decades of experience in multiple industries, she is also a former educator that understands the public school system and the need for organizational effectiveness. Her broad perspective is a plus that helps improve outcomes for stakeholders. As always, these leadership principles are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well. Pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.
