Quote: "You are the sum of the 5 people that you spend your time with” --- Jim Rohn Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. The value of an environment cannot be underestimated. In a 2023 article by the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, physical environments where children live affect their development and health. In fact, a child’s environmental exposure early in life can cause lasting changes in developing biological systems. Whether for good or bad, the environment we spend most of our time in has lasting effects. The quote by Jim Rohn provides insights on how important the environment and the people we spend most of our time with affect both our personal and professional growth. Rohn coined the quote after a research study based on the law of averages. "When it comes to relationships, we are greatly influenced - whether we like it or not - by those closest to us. It affects our way of thinking, our self-esteem, and our decisions. Of course, everyone is their own person, but research has shown that we're more affected by our environment than we think. The law of Environment states that growth thrives in conducive surroundings. It becomes expedient then for leaders to frequently assess their environment for growth alignment. Sometimes, leaders need to change their environments to grow. Furthermore, it is possible to change without growing but it is impossible to grow without changing. In this episode of Points of Leadership, continuing our discussion on Dr. John Maxwell's 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth , we dive into the chapter on law of environment. We begin with a quick overview using the analogy of a plant, and the key components it needs to grow. Without sunlight, water, air, temperature and the right soil, a plant will shrivel and die off. And with the presence of all necessary components, the plant flourishes well. Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values-based company in Connecticut discuss how to determine what conducive environment looks like and how to assess what nurtures towards growth. This is a great jumpstart to cast vision for this year for both your personal and professional growth. 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 through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life. Happy New Year Points of Leadership Community! Our First Episode of 2025!

Quote: "Discipline is consistency of action" --- James C. Collins Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Consistency is one of the values that is multi-dimensional. Coleman a Harvard Business Review leadership contributor shares how consistency is the defining value of high performers in an organization. He states how consistent leaders not only work hard, or show up authentically, but also empower and equip their teams in producing excellent results. Similarly, Turner and Rindova in their 2011 research on how to maintain consistency in the face of ongoing change, examine how participants routinely view and balance the demands of consistency and need for flexibility. The end results suggest that the value of discipline plays a big role in maintaining the balance between consistency and flexibility. In this episode of Points of Leadership, continuing our discussion on Dr. John Maxwell's 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth , we dive into the next chapter on the law of consistency. We begin with a quick overview, the what, how, why and when of consistency and some practical ways to create a habit of consistency. Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values based company in Connecticut discuss how consistency is the hallmark of excellence.

Quote: "Without reflection, we go blindly on our way" --- Dr. Margaret Wheatley Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Reflection is an executive function that propels growth both personally and professionally. In a 2022 Havard Business Review article by Bailey and Rehman, titled, "Don't Underestimate the Power of Reflection", it indicates through research that the practice of reflection distinguishes extraordinary professionals. This is because reflection increases critical thinking, self-awareness and understanding. Continuing our discussion on Dr. John Maxwell's 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth , we dive into chapter five with a look at the law of reflection. We begin with a quick overview of how the law of the mirror is different from the law of reflection. Each law is distinct in its scope and intent. Furthermore, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck- CEO of ReWorking Strategies LLC - a values based company in Connecticut discuss and provide some insights into what the law of reflection is all about and its benefits for both personal and professional growth. A standout thread of discussion in this episode is how reflection is a practice of great secure leaders, who welcome questions, critiques or dissent voices to fuel their continuous growth. 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. With a few days left in 2024, this is a great time for reflection. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.

Quote: "There are two great days in a person's life: the day you were born and the day you discover why" --- Mark Twain Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. Purpose though divinely assigned, requires a personal responsibility to unpack, unearth and live out. Everyone as an image bearer of God possess a myriad of gifts, talents, and possibilities, yet only a few embark on the grueling journey it takes to discover and live purposefully. A study conducted by the National Library of Medicine in 2010, suggest there are a variety of factors that inhibit people from discovering their purpose- one being self-esteem. This is central to every area of one's life. From taking responsibility for personal development, to competency, self-love and motivation to mention a few according to the 2010 study. 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 the mirror. We cover the general premise that a person has to value himself or herself before he or she can add value to themselves and others. 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 discuss and provide some insights into what the law of the mirror is all about.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Quote "The eyes have one language everywhere." - George Hebert Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead. In many companies around the world- Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) are standard practice to ensure employment relationships are preserved in terms of proprietary information or intellectual property. In a 2021 article, "An Obsession with Secrets", Ovide explains all the ins and outs of NDAs. Some industries use NDAs more than usual. Industries, such as Tech companies, Startups, Marketing Agencies, Manufacturers use NDAs to protect their proprietary information. This is standard practice and nothing unusual about it. However, using NDAs to cover up or silence employees who have experienced wrong doing in the hands of a leader is not standard practice. We are seeing more of this misuse of NDAs in the religious world. Drs. Johnson and Feyi Obamehinti discuss what this looks like in the church in their recent episode on the Oasis of Hope Podcast. In this episode of Points of Leadership Podcast, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti shares three things to consider for anyone that NDAs is part of their employment relationship to protect the company's proprietary information. For new graduates entering the work force, know these three things before signing that required NDA. Leaders, pull up a chair, call a friend, take a listen and share with other leaders in your network.
