While in leadership at GE, Dave was faced with an opportunity to throw his co-workers under the bus. He chose to take the heat from Jack Welch himself, rather than blame his co-workers. Dave’s decision to take the heat for his co-workers earned Jack’s respect and also put Dave on the fast track to becoming a GE Executive.

Why do you think Dave earned Jack’s respect by not throwing his co-workers under the bus?
When faced with a tough situation, do you tend to throw others under the bus or take the heat yourself?
What can you learn from Dave’s example?
After Dave took the CEO job at Honeywell, he learned that he wasn’t the first choice for the job. This is his advice when you face situations like this: If you’re not the first choice for something, rather than get miffed about it, take the opportunities when they come to you. Just because you weren’t the first choice doesn’t mean it’s not a good opportunity for you.

Ken suggests leaders should laugh more. People respond well to positivity, and humor is important in keeping morale up. Leaders should also admit it when they make a mistake. This gives team members permission to get it wrong. Plus, they’ll be more likely to take a chance and not worry if they mess up.
(23:56-26:35)
(23:56-26:35)
Are you the kind of leader who readily admits mistakes?
Think of a time when your team responded well to you. How did it make you feel?
According to Ken, the important thing about leadership is what happens when you’re not around. Leaders cultivate a great culture when they lead from the inside out. It can’t just be in your head, it must be in your heart. Leadership has changed over the years. It used to be top down, but now leadership is more of a side-by-side relationship.

Jimmy learned to listen well from his father. His father coached him to anticipate – don’t worry about what you’re going to say. Instead, focus on what others are saying and thinking. This helps you learn what’s going on in the room and helps you operate with empathy and compassion for others. You show others that you understand them and that you really care by listening well.

Have you ever seen a leader make an uninformed judgment? What was the result?
Micky is an advocate of peer-to-peer knowledge sharing forums. People can learn so much by listening to each other.
He also believes leaders should empower their team members. One organization that he is really impressed with is a store chain called Emporer. There, the store managers have the final decision is what happens in terms of business. If they make a mistake, they make it right. Even with numerous stores, the business runs smoothly.

Indra is a champion of diversity. She says you can discover the best candidates if you draw from the entire talent pool, rather than a narrow one.
Inclusion is important in order for everyone to feel equal and there shouldn’t be disparity in wages or benefits based on race, religion, or gender. Also, people who need special training should be allowed the opportunity. Indra explains, for example, that Asian people are very strong in their jobs, but they sometimes have trouble with communication.

Indra was a product manager for Johnson & Johnson during a time when India didn’t allow companies to advertise personal products. She had to learn how to sell a product that couldn’t be marketed, and couldn’t be talked about, but was necessary.
This role stretched her beyond her imagination. She was fortunate to have mentors who believed in her and told her she could do it. Indra worked her tail off until she figured out a solution to the problem. She refused to give up because she didn’t want to disappoint the company or her family; but more importantly, she didn’t want to let herself down.

Mike Rawlings was a corporate executive who became the 61st Mayor of Dallas, TX. Becoming Mayor required Mike to step out of his comfort zone. What inspired this change? Mike believed that he only had a certain amount of time on earth, and he wanted to use that time well.

Are you getting as much out of your job as you need to?

Mike initially resisted the invitation to become the Mayor of Dallas. Dallas has a tradition of having business people as their mayor, and he was invited on more than one occasion to run for office. His son is the one who inspired him to run. While on a skiing trip, Mike asked his college-age son to tell him the question he should ask himself to determine if he should run for mayor or not. After much thought, his son replied, “What would the virtuous man do?” This question challenged Mike to practice what he’d been teaching his son – that life is not about focusing on yourself, but about how you can give back. His son’s question led Mike to get serious about running, and after researching the odds of him winning, he decided to run, and won.
