Strong Mind | Warm Heart
Leadership is about finding the right balance between achieving company goals and connecting with people. To achieve this balance, leaders need a Strong Mind and a Warm Heart.
In the context of Leadership GLUE, this means possessing both analytical skills and emotional intelligence.
A Strong Mind enables leaders to make informed decisions and solve complex problems, while a Warm Heart allows them to connect with their team and stakeholders on a deeper level, fostering trust and empathy.
Many leaders struggle to find this balance.
They want to connect with their people, but they don't want to lose focus on profit and company value.
The good news is that these two goals don't have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, connecting with your people can actually improve your company's bottom line.
When leaders have a Warm Heart, they create an environment of trust and psychological safety. This leads to higher employee engagement and better performance. Employees who feel heard and valued are more likely to be loyal, productive, and willing to go the extra mile for their company.
On the other hand, leaders with a Strong Mind are able to keep a sharp focus on the company's goals and priorities. They are able to make strategic decisions that benefit the company's bottom line while still considering the needs and perspectives of their people.
By developing a Strong Mind and a Warm Heart, leaders can create a culture that prioritizes both people and profits. Leadership GLUE Training & Coaching provides tools and techniques to help leaders develop these skills and strike the right balance.
By adopting a Positive Intelligence (PQ) approach, leaders can identify and overcome Saboteurs - the negative thoughts and behaviors that hold them back - and build mental fitness and resilience.
The program also emphasizes the importance of self-care and mindfulness, which are crucial for maintaining mental fitness and resilience.
Having a Strong Mind and a Warm Heart is essential for effective leadership. It allows leaders to connect with their people while still achieving company goals.
The impact of a Strong Mind, Warm Heart Leader ripples throughout the company, the employees and their families, the community, and the world.
With Leadership GLUE Training & Coaching, leaders can develop these skills and create a culture that values both people and profits.
Leadership GLUE Training & Coaching is how you become a more effective leader.

Scroll to see Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the premise of Leadership GLUE?
Leadership GLUE is the ability a leader has to build strong bonds, increase employee engagement, and drive organizational success.
In the Leadership GLUE book, training and coaching programs, C-Suite executives and business owners specifically learn how to build the guardrails to protect their Vision and Values and how to develop the Conditions for Success for themselves and their team.
Our clients grow their businesses by going from Hands ON to Hands FREE to Hand OFF.
This proven process gives the team the ability, responsibility and accountability to expand their bench strength and allows the Leader to get on to the next big thing...not exiting or retiring, but living out his/her life's purpose.
2. What exactly does Hand ON to Hands FREE to Hand OFF process look like?
Hands ON: Teaching, training and relationship building
Hands FREE: The Messy Middle where team members demonstrate their ability to work with less supervision
Hand OFF: Like a runner handing off the baton to the next equally capable teammate, this phase gives a leader or owner the freedom and flexibility for the next 'big thing,' whether that is a new product line, new sales initiative, a sabbatical, or even exiting the business.
3. How Quickly will I see results?
Hmmm...interesting question. The truth is that change can be difficult when resisted...but when you initiate growth and development for yourself you are 'shedding old skin' for the new you. Your team will embrace change when you are consistent and congruent.
1. Results will come from your intention combined with taking action. This is in your control.
2. There is a natural incubation period needed for the brain and soul to allow GLUE to become part of your business DNA. It takes time to organically embed GLUE into your natural way of working.
3. The shift to a Leadership Glue Business will happen very quickly at the C-Suite level, but will take about 6 - 8 months to cascade throughout the organization.
