Great Leadership With Jacob Morgan

Today’s guest is Tom Peters, author of many best-selling books including In Search of Excellence, Extreme Humanism, and his newest book, Tom Peters’ Compact Guide to Excellence. Tom was also on the first list of “100 most powerful people in Silicon Valley” from 1965 to 2000 and in 2017, he received the Thinkers50 Lifetime Achievement Award. He also served in the Navy, worked at The White House, and has a Ph.D. from the Stanford School of Business. But most importantly, Tom Peters has a Ph.D in “putting people first.”

In today’s episode Tom talks about the two people who most influenced who he is and why, his thoughts on Jack Welch and Elon Musk in terms of leadership, why shareholder value is the wrong way of thinking about business, and if leaders today are giving more of themselves to their people than they did years ago.

There's an old saying: Good fences make for great neighbors.

If you didn't have fences, there would be no boundaries, and your neighbors could come over whenever they wanted.

You need to set up those similar types of fences in your organization.

Setting up fences is healthy both at work and in your personal life.

It allows you to protect your time and figure out the things you should be working on.

One strategy for setting boundaries is to ponder and write down the answers to these questions:

1. What are your goals?

2. What projects and tasks do you enjoy doing?

3. What projects or tasks really drain you?

4. What times during the day do you feel most productive?

5. What do you need to do during the day to feel most fulfilled?

6. What are your biggest distractions?

7. What do you want your day to look like?

I don’t like every part of my job.

I don’t like if I'm working with a difficult client, don't get a speaking gig that I was excited for, or am working on a project I don’t like.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t love my job.

It’s ok to not like some parts of your job.

You don’t need to love every minute of your job. It’s ok to have bad days where you're frustrated, feel a little bit disengaged, or are tired.

Have you ever noticed that when we have a problem with technology, we often turn to our kids?

In today's world, every company is a technology company. That means that every leader needs to be a technology-driven leader.

This doesn’t mean you should learn how to create your own AI or be able to build your own blockchain.

But you need to understand the different technologies, how they might impact your business, team, and career, and where the potential opportunities might be.

You need to master the skill of the technology teenager.

You need to embrace technology.

Himanshu Palsule is the CEO of Cornerstone, a 4,000 person talent experience platform with thousands of business customers and millions of users around the world. Himanshu and his wife came to the U.S. from Bombay in the 80’s for a one year project at IBM that they both worked on, and they never left.

In today’s discussion we take a look at some pretty tough topics, including cancel culture, if workers today have a sense of loyalty, pride, and work ethic, if it’s crazy that we have to entice people to go back to work, and how leadership and the workplace as a whole are both changing. We also explore some of the big trends Himanshu is paying attention to and why he is so fascinated with quantum physics.

If you were to write down your corporate values on a piece of paper and walk around your space, would you see these values come to life?

In the eyes of your employees, your physical space acts as a symbol that represents what your organization stands for.

If your employees are on the frontlines, the customer experience starts to mimic the employee experience because that is where employees are working.

The physical space is 30% of the overall employee experience and should reflect the values of the organization.

Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen who is the Associate Administrator at NASA Science. He actually just stepped down from his role after leading NASA science for over 6 years. He’s behind many of the space initiatives over the past few years including the Mars Lander InSight and the James Webb Telescope. 

Today’s episode we discuss how old the universe is and if there is intelligent life somewhere in space, if we are living in a computer simulation or parallel universe, and how big our universe really is. It’s not all space talk though, Thomas also shares how he makes decisions and deals with failure,  and the difference between making a mistake versus almost making a mistake and why it’s so crucial to talk about both of these things.

The skill of Yoda is one of the most important things to have for future leaders. This means having empathy and self-awareness.

Empathy is about being able to put yourself in somebody else's shoes and understanding their perspective and where they're coming from.

Self-awareness is about how you view yourself internally and how other people view you externally

This is a crucial skill for leaders to master, especially in this virtual world where we're trying to connect with each other.

The ability to connect on a human level is all about emotional intelligence, which comes down to empathy and self-awareness.
