One of the things that came up in our conversation was the concept of the “Narrow band of acceptable behavior” and I wanted to elaborate just a bit more. This concept was introduced by A. M. Morrison et al. in Breaking the Glass Ceiling. It essentially refers to the possibility of a bias between what we consider as traditionally accepted masculine/feminine behavior, and what we observe in leadership; however, this concept is not limited to women in leadership. When we see anyone in a leadership role and they do not fit into what we believe is the stereotypical/prototypical leader role, we naturally give them less wiggle room to make mistakes. For example, when it comes to leadership, we often think of leaders as strong and decisive. If an individual believes that men are more strong and decisive, yet they see a woman leader acting this way, she will already be walking a tightrope when it comes to interacting with that particular individual.

Join me for a conversation with Thom Singer. Thom is the CEO of the Austin Technology Council and a keynote speaker. In the episode, we talk about how he became a professional speaker and about his experience as a two-time TEDx speaker. We also talked about the National Speakers Association (NSA), and why he recommends that people in the speaking business should become a part of the association. Thom was the original host of the Speakernomics podcast - the official podcast of NSA. We also discussed the importance of being part of a community and networking. He believes that Community, Collaboration, and Conversations can help us solve our problems.

Wrapping up this month's theme of conflict management, we'll discuss the last of the four C's in my conflict management model. The first three were Communication, Curiosity, and Concern. The final one is Commitment.

The past two weeks, we covered the first two C's of my conflict resolution model, which were communication and curiosity. Today, we'll cover the third C - Concern.
M. Afzalur Rahim theorized in 1983 that conflict management styles existed in a spectrum, and on one axis is a concern for self, while on the other is a concern for others.
Here are the five conflict management styles Rahim proposed, along with their levels of concern:
Avoiding: Low concern for self; low concern for others
Obliging: Low concern for self; high concern for others
Dominating: High concern for self; low concern for others
Compromising: Moderate concern for self; moderate concern for others
Integrating: High concern for self; high concern for others
If our goal is integrating, then we must have a high level of concern for ourselves and others. Here's our tips:
1 - Determine how important it is to come to a win-win conclusion
2 - Think about the long-term relational impact
3 - Think about the long-term organizational impact

It's hard to believe it's been over two years since our first episode was published!
As we shared in an earlier episode, Josh recently stepped into the senior pastor role at Firewheel Bible Fellowship.
Sometimes being a leader means making tough choices about priorities. Join me in wishing Josh well as he focuses on his new role and steps away from LeaderLink Podcast...for now. Hopefully, we can pick up where we left off in the future!
The good news is the show will continue, just in a somewhat different format. Thanks to all our dedicated listeners, and I invite you to continue the journey with me.

Last week, we discussed communication, which is the first of the four C's of a conflict management model I developed in 2023. Today, we'll discuss the second C, curiosity.
One reason conflict can be so difficult is that we think it is our job to win other people over to our perspective. The concept of curiosity challenges this perspective. What if there is another perspective out there that can help us resolve this conflict? What if we could resolve this as a win-win rather than a win-lose or a compromise?
Today's tips are:
1 - Table your agenda
2 - Ask questions
3 - Listen

Last week, we introduced the theme of this month's short episodes: conflict. The rest of this month, we'll look at the 4-C model I like to use for effective conflict management. The four C's are Communication, Curiosity, Concern, and Commitment.
Individuals willing to work through conflict will have more success when they use this model.

Join Charles and Josh as we discuss graduate degrees and leadership developent. We're both fans of higher education, but they are certainly not the only way to develop leadership skills. We talk about how graduate degrees can complement development as a leader, yet they are not necessarily a shortcut to experience.

Join us as we talk about accountability.
For some, accountability is a dirty word, and we think that’s because most of us know leaders who have abused it. Accountability shouldn’t just be about “who is to blame?”
As leaders, we need to hold ourselves accountable and we need to be able to hold others accountable.

What does courage mean to you? Many people tend to associate the concept of courage in terms of physical courage - bravery in the face of danger. But, there is so much more to the concept when it comes to leadership.

Join Josh and Charles as we discuss what we can do when our leader says “no” to our ideas.
No is not always easy for people to hear when they believe their ideas are credible and valuable. So how do we, as the person asking for something, respond when we’re told no?

Join Josh and Charles as we discuss feedback loops and how they apply to leadership.
Feedback loops are a great way to ensure that the leader and their team members are on the same page and have a chance to give each other constructive feedback. Feedback loops can help everyone in the organization improve, and as a result, the organization improves. Feedback can be tough to receive; it can also be tough to deliver. In order for feedback loops to be effective, there needs to be an environment of safety and trust.
We also discuss what leaders can do with feedback once they receive it.

Join Josh and Charles as we discuss the concept of viewing people as people.
People in the organization are generally the biggest asset to an organization. How do we, as leaders, show our employees that we value them? Do these perspectives change as the size of the organization increases? Does the perspective change as leaders move up the organizational hierarchy?
We believe that leaders should take the time to get to know their employees as individuals with unique hopes, dreams, and capabilities who can (and should be) viewed as assets to the organization.

Join us as we talk about the topics of ego and humility. While confidence and self-awareness are both important qualities for a leader, ego can be thought about on a spectrum. On one end are concepts of self-doubt and impostor syndrome, while on the other end, ego becomes arrogance and pride. We believe a “healthy” ego is necessary for leadership, as is humility.
Charles and Josh discuss the topic of leadership as it relates to friendship. How does the leader/subordinate relationship influence pre-established friendships? How does this relationship impact expectations and accountability?
Charles and Josh discuss some aspects of the new perspective, the mindset shift, for someone who promotes from the front line to front-line leadership.
In this episode, Charles and Josh discuss the question “why?”. Specifically, the “why” from the organizational perspective. Why is “why” such an uncomfortable question for leaders to respond to? And, how do we prepare our leaders to respond to this question considering that the generations currently entering the workforce are more comfortable asking it? We also talk about how the “why” relates to values, and influences vision, mission, strategy, procedures, and practices.
Join Charles and Josh as they discuss how important it is for us, as leaders, to be developing the next generation of leaders.
This episode was inspired by a conversation Josh observed at the recent Westapher 57th annual charity golf tournament between David Henry and some student mentors with Youth Equipped to Succeed. The Westapher is hosted by the Preston Center Rotary Club in Dallas, and the recipient for the last 5 years has been the non-profit Youth Equipped to Succeed.
