Episode 89: Leading With Love, Humor, and Transparency with Dr. Joseph Michelli
In this episode, I have the pleasure of having Dr. Joseph Michelli, a New York Times bestselling author, in our podcast for the third time. We pick up from our last discussion with a profound thought from Dr. Michelli: "Leading is loving." He elaborates on how transparency, honesty, kindness, good stewardship, and even humor play pivotal roles in business. Dr. Michelli underscores that driving profits begins with creating value for others.
Dr. Michelli highlights the necessity of transparency in leadership, explaining how being clear and honest, even about uncertainties, builds trust. We also touch on the role of humor in business, where Dr. Michelli advocates for capturing life's natural humor to create a more enjoyable work environment. Our conversation moves into the importance of transparency during difficult times, such as downsizing, and the art of communication, especially in crisis situations. He emphasizes that senior leaders must be particularly thoughtful about their messaging, as their words carry significant weight.
Storytelling emerges as a key theme, with Dr. Michelli pointing out its power in connecting with an audience, whether through emotional engagement or data-driven narratives. We delve into vulnerability in leadership, where appropriate vulnerability can foster trust and authenticity. The discussion then shifts to mission statements and their relevance, with Dr. Michelli providing practical advice on ensuring these statements are meaningful and integrated into daily operations. He emphasizes living one's purpose to maximize impact and legacy, rather than being distracted by other paths.
We explore the importance of trust and reciprocity in business. Dr. Michelli explains how extending trust to customers can enhance their loyalty and create a culture of mutual respect and trust. In the final part of our discussion, we revisit the importance of empathy and compassion in leadership. He Michelli stresses that empathic listening combined with compassionate action can significantly impact how leaders connect with and support their teams.
Dr. Michelli’s insights are invaluable for leaders navigating today's complex business environment, emphasizing transparency, storytelling, and empathy for effective leadership.
