• .00 James Hearn – “Many people can encourage and empower their staff to be – give them positive feedback – not positive feedback, but proper feedback, on any situation. They’re open to listening. They have great ideas and let them percolate among the staff. They us the staff; they us the Oval Table.
    • Then you will get every now and then that one that knows he’s the smartest man in the room, and that can be dangerous sometimes. Again, because you can have the wisest staff you can out there, but if you don’t listen to them, it doesn’t do any good. And I think it is so important for you as a subordinate of a person like this to figure out how do I get the right information across? How do I get him or her to buy into what is right, not what he’s thinking right now?
    • And so, you have to be pretty skillful in your communication and knowing what that person is like.
  • 1.10 Welcome – Hello everyone, I am Rishi Katz and welcome to The Oval Table where we discuss all things related to helping those who live and work inside your business survive, thrive, avoid pitfalls, have more fun and become successful faster. Getting advice from someone outside your business can make a big difference. And that is what we seek to do each and every week.
    • Here at The Oval Table, we believe every voice matters and we want to model how that works. Often the advice that makes the difference comes from where you least expect it. So much more is possible when everyone’s ideas make it to the table.

  • 2.21 Interview – Dr. James Hearn – How do You Deal with a Charismatic Leader?
    • Insights into how to deal with a charismatic leader.
    • Sometimes it takes a heart-to-heart talk with the leader to resolve the issues.
    • Often the smartest guy in the room is not the smartest.
    • People want to work on winning teams and will change jobs to do so.
    • It is important to balance people centered leadership and task centered leadership.
    • The entire workforce needs to be treated as one great team or people will be lost.
    • You cannot let people just be their job title. They are more than that.
    • A true open-door policy has to be just that, truly open, good, bad, right, or wrong.
    • The higher you go in your career, the rest actual work you do, so you can guide more.
    • A real leader sets the tone for the organization as only they can.
  • 28.28 Post Interview Discussion – Dr. James Hearn
    • Does a charismatic leader have to have emotional intelligence?
    • A person must have the basic attributes of being charismatic to be charismatic.
    • You can teach people to play basketball, but greatness is born.
    • Being charismatic does not mean a person is good.
    • Intuitive skills and learned skills are different.
    • An over-abundance of emotional intelligence does not make you a leader.
    • A foundational principle of The Oval Table is to assemble people who complement.
    • If you think you are the smartest person in the room, you have a problem, and it is you.
    • Hire well. Populate The Oval Table well. Let others bring forth their skills and abilities.
    • Charisma by itself, does not make you a leader worth following, not by itself.
