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

It is said that change is inevitable. Change is that constant that all humans and systems are faced with. Add to that the ever-changing landscape of how technology impact humans and systems, and we have an automatic landscape of changes and transitions. In his article helping leaders leverage change management, former Forbes Council member Carter highlights the ever-evolving workplace. From physical to cultural to technological shifts, the workplace is a mecca for change. Furthermore, Carter states that “while change can be unique (and specific) to an organization, a strategic process can help leaders prepare, equip and mobilize individuals and teams to embrace transition — it’s called change management, a methodology for influencing people to support a common goal.”

In this insightful episode of Points of Leadership, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck examine and discuss change management. From discussing the difference between change and transition, to how good change management helps to facilitate transition, and some tips for leaders leading change for successful transitions. Additionally, they discuss some tips for leaders not leading change and how to navigate that process.

Lastly, they provide an example of how leaders can successfully navigate these situational and psychological shifts whether in the workplace, family or community. 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.

Quote: “Corporate culture matters. How management chooses to treat its people impacts everything for better or for worse.” --- Simon Sinek

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

Leadership sustainability is something that most Fortune 500 companies keep center focus on for long lasting impact of their services, products and customers. For example, Apple Inc has consistently ranked in the top 20 of the Fortune Global 500 list since 2013. This type of consistent impact is built and sustained through a corporate lens of excellence that trickles down to every aspect of the company and its culture.

In a 2023 Forbes article by former Forbes Council member Frayda Leibtag, one of the factors that contribute to an impactful sustainability is the power of celebrating success in the workplace. Leibtag states that while it's possible to navigate the workplace without mastering the art of sharing success, excelling in today's professional landscape and creating a positive work culture requires more than just participation; it demands being proactive about how companies communicate their own performance. The article further states that one of the most significant benefits of sharing success is cultivating a culture of celebration. Celebrating success in a company or team is a powerful way to bond, foster a sense of community and ensure fellow employees can feel the appreciation.

In this invigorating episode of Points of Leadership, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck explore and discuss the value of prioritizing celebration as a leader for the benefit of the team, organization or company. They discuss some of the visible benefits of making celebration a viable culture that brings many inter-related returns. Such as boosting team morale, building a culture that attracts high performing team, and setting a positive tone of appreciation.

Lastly, they discuss the underlying psychological impact of leading for sustainability and the power of celebrating success in the workplace. 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.

Quote: "Time is given us to use in view of eternity" --- Harry Ironside

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

In 2006 Harvard Business School's researchers (Dr. M. Porter and Dr. N. Nohria) launched a study to track how large companies CEOs spent their time. After gathering over 60,000 worth of data, they provided some critical insights on time management for leaders. From best time management practices, to navigating contradictory dualities of leaders role, to integrating decision-making with company strategic plans and culture, Porter and Nohria explain how to simplify the complexities of time management for any leader.

In another study conducted by Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) in 2020, data analyzed states that 84% of employees believe poorly trained leaders/managers create unnecessary work and stress for their teams due to poor time management. The ability of any leader to manager his or her time well transfers to the impact of time management on a team.

In this thought provoking episode, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck dive into this topic by taking a look at three elements of time management that impacts leaders personal, spiritual and professional lives. They discuss what leaders look for when it comes to time management, why time management is important for all leaders and provide some practical examples of what a good time management looks like for leaders to maximize their life both personally and professionally.

Quote: "Facing difficulties is inevitable; learning from them is optional" --- Dr. John Maxwell

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

Webster dictionary provides both the noun and verb definitions of the word "pain." It states the definition of it's noun, as a "localized or generalized unpleasant bodily sensation or complex of sensations that causes mild to severe physical discomfort and emotional distress and typically results from bodily disorder." Webster also, it states the definition of it's verb as to make suffer, or cause distress as to put in trouble or exertion." Simply put, pain signifies discomfort in all its form to the body and emotions.

Pain is a universal life experience for every human being. However, the way each human being experience pain is individual in different ways. Colonel Rawal in his 2024 article, "Understating Pain as a Catalyst for Growth" states that in the midst of the chaos of life lies a great opportunity for growth and change.

Quote: "Every person is composed of few themes” --- C.S. Lewis

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

Life is lived by design whether that is intentional or not, positive or negative. Most people allow their lives to simply happen to them, by floating along and reacting to life. The beauty of life is that God has blessed every person with the same hours and minutes in a day. Every person is composed of few themes and able to maximize their lives for the purposes God created them for.

In a 2023 Havard Business Review article, Strack, Dyrchs and Bailey, share how in corporate strategy projects, executive leadership teams work through a series of questions to determine how their businesses can succeed. They assert that individuals can use a similar process to determine how to live a purposeful life. The law of design is all about developing life strategies that propels maximum growth, spiritually, personally and professionally.

The law of design examines the importance of strategic thinking in living a purposeful life. One that is received personally, repeated easily and transferred strategically. 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 design. We begin with a quick overview of the law of design, why responding to life is beneficial than reactionary, and the value of establishing effective life systems that is well aligned.

Points of Leadership: Law of Environment

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.

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.
