Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, passed away in 1992, but the company he created is still one of the world's largest employers today. In many ways, the impact of his leadership is still felt today. Sam's leadership lessons can guide us today in 2021 as much as they did many many decades ago. Here are three things Sam did that you as a leader should do as well: 1. Ask questions. Sam was considered a master questionnaire. He was constantly talking to people at all levels of the company. He showed that he valued other people's perspectives, opinions, and ideas by truly trying to ask thoughtful questions. 2. Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you. A leader's job isn't to be the smartest person in the room. A leader's job is to assemble a team and to create an organization where people are smarter than the leader is. 3. Hold on to what's working and change what isn’t. It's easy to get wrapped up in new things. But don't get rid of a successful practice or method simply to chase something shiny and new. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Namely.

We live in a connected world where everybody's trying to stand out and make their voice heard. This can make it feel like you are just a drop in an ocean. So how can you possibly get noticed? If you want to learn and grow and have your voice get heard, here are five things you can do: 1. Speak up in meetings. Be confident that you were invited there for a reason to contribute something and not just to be a body. 2. Join a committee or an employee resource group. Find something that matches your talents and interests and go all in. 3. Participate in your company's internal collaboration platforms. Pretty much every organization uses some sort of technology for employees to communicate and collaborate. Take advantage of those platforms. 4. Ask questions. If you struggle to share your own ideas, start by asking questions of others. 5. Offer a solution. Stop pointing out what’s wrong and offer a solution. Don't be afraid to make your voice heard. It will help you develop and be more successful in your career and in life. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Namely.

Around a thousand years ago, a mathematician and inventor named Sissa created chess. He showed it to the ruler of the land, who was so impressed that he offered Sissa any reward he wanted. Sissa said, “I would like you to put one grain of rice on this chessboard and then keep double the amount of grain for each subsequent square.” The ruler quickly agreed and told his advisors to figure out how much rice they would need to pay off Sissa. As it turns out, we don’t even have enough rice in the world today to meet the amount required. Sissa then became the new ruler of the land. At first glance, doubling a grain of rice on a chessboard seems like it will lead to very gradual and small growth. However, when you get to the second half of the chessboard, the doubling accelerates at a hockey stick growth pattern, meaning it’s no longer gradual growth but a massive increase from each square to the next. When we talk about the rapid pace of change, this is where most leaders, technologists, and futurists believe we are today… at the second half of the chess board. We must all embrace that this is the new normal. To succeed in this kind of a world, we need to change our mindset because today “late adopter” means “out of business” --------------------- Get the latest insights on the Future of Work, Leadership and employee experience through my daily newsletter at futureofworknewsletter.com Let's connect on social!

Magnus Carlsen is the current world chess champion. He is considered the greatest chess champion to ever live. What makes Magnus Carlsen great is his ability to think outside of chess principles and conventional ideas. He challenges traditional chess wisdom. When in positions where it looks like he's lost, he somehow finds a way to save the game. He does this because he can see things other people struggle to see. When we think about the future of work, we need this same mentality. To challenge convention and to come up with new ideas. We must accept that the game has changed. We have to challenge our outdated notions of what it means to be an employee, what it means to be a leader inside of an organization, and even what it means to work. Now is the time for us to think beyond what we're used to. --------------------- Get the latest insights on the Future of Work, Leadership and employee experience through my daily newsletter at futureofworknewsletter.com Let's connect on social!
