Summary: In this episode, Jack and Joe discuss how ordinary people can take leadership to another by developing boldness. They are joined by leadership expert Kevin Wilde. Kevin is the VP of Organization Effectiveness and Chief Learning Officer at General Mills, an Award-Winning Development Leader, and Columnist for Talent Management Magazine. <br> <br> <br> Most organizations find themselves either in competitive battles or with mandates to reduce costs and increase productivity. Those mild mannered, steady eddy, timid leaders of the past need to step-up and become BOLD. <br> <br> <br> <br> We discovered that bold leaders exist in every company and every culture, but some cultures generate more bold leaders than others. Interestingly, there is a higher percentage of females that are bold leaders than males. <br> <br> <br> <br> We have found that the most effective bold leaders combine their bold approach with other skills such as good judgement and relationship building. Alternatively, leaders who are bold with poor judgement possess a very dangerous combination. <br> <br> <br> Learn how leaders in your organization can:<br> <br> Challenge standard approaches<br> Create an atmosphere of continual improvement<br> Do everything possible to achieve goals<br> Get others to go beyond what they originally thought possible<br> Are energized to take on challenging goals<br> Quickly recognize situations where change is needed<br> Have courage to make needed changes<br> <br> <br> Read Joe Folkman's <a href="http://zengerfolkman.com/bold-leadership-the-4-steps-that-take-leaders-to-another-level/">Forbes article on Bold Leadership</a>. <br> <br> <br> Download the <a href="http://zengerfolkman.com/infographic-bold-leadership/">"Bold Leadership" Infographic</a>.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> We’d love for you to<br> experience our award-winning leadership workshops in a city near you.
