We all know we need a clear strategy to move forward. However, most leadership teams fall down on implementing strategy. Why is strategic thinking so challenging to most leadership teams? Leadership requires strategy, but how do you know if you (or a team member) is a relationship leader, a visionary or a strategic thinker?Have you found yourself wondering how you can tap into the strategic thinking that remains dormant inside your organization?Too often leaders just don’t know where to start planning for the future of their business; they usually start with the familiar: internally, operationally and incrementally focused. This is the wrong place to start.Where is the right place?Well stay tuned because for more than two decades of leading successful custom consulting engagements for corporations, entrepreneurial business and non-profits, Cecilia Lynch, principal of Focused Momentum® demystifies how to think strategically about your business to enable you to craft a winning strategy with the outside-in approach. Cecilia Lynch is a seasoned strategist, author and the leading authority on strategic thinking.

On this episode we examine generations and our biases across: Boomers, GenX’ers, Millennial’s and a group you may be unfamiliar with who are changing everything… they are “Second-Wave Millennials”. Stay tuned…you are about to be riveted! Generational challenges abound in parenting, in teaching, in managing and in leadership. All to often, in working with Boomer and GenX leaders, I hear them talk about Millennials in less than complimentary terms. Saying things like: They have no work ethic. They’re not loyal, they’re entitled. They’re spoilt brats who want to be entertained and have no respect for those who’ve paid their dues. So how can we as leaders find a way to put aside our generational biases, to get the best out of ourselves and tap into the potential of younger generations? Well, stay tuned because our guest is Warren Wright. He’s a leading authority on generations and author of “Second-Wave Millennials”: Tapping the Potential of America’s Youth. He is Founder and CEO of Second Wave Learning whose mission is to prepare the next generation of leaders for tomorrow's challenges. Warren Wright is a guy who possibly has the most impressive resume I’ve ever come across. Warren started in radio and television advertising sales, and then in 1997, co-founded Jobfinder.com, which was sold in 2000. He then went on to become Managing Partner at Gallup, where his division provided polling results on Iraqi citizens for the U.S. Army during the Iraq war. It was at Gallup that he conferenced with world leaders such as Tony Blair, Shimon Peres, and Mohammad Khatami as part of a global effort to reconcile religious and political differences to promote world peace through the Co-Exist Foundation, a UK Charity founded by Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel with inspiration from his good friend Bono.On this episode we dive into:Second-Wave Millennials...Who are they and why should you care?Global data points and how most of what we think we know or expect is dead wrong!How we are in a very predictable crisis period, that gave raise to strong man politicsHow most of what we need to learn is held by those we ignore the mostWhy Second Wave Millennials were so supportive of an old guy...Bernie SandersWhat's the difference between first and second wave MillennialsHow Second Wave Millennials are more conventional than the previous two generations.Why they are more serious and use far less drugs, and have far sex than previous generations.Who are the fading pragmatistsWhy Second Wave Millennials have a completely different time horizon than previous youthHow Millennials deal with "Facts" Vs "Opinions"We look at whether there will be a backlash to the Trump era...will there be a "Blue Wave"?and so much more...In 2011, Warren began a partnership with author and economist Neil Howe, who coined the term “Millennials”. Wright worked with Howe to build two companies—LifeCourse Associates, and Saeculum Research, both using the knowledge of generational theory for research and consulting. Warren is an accomplished public speaker, keynoting frequently at conferences and corporate events about the impact of generations in the workplace and society at large.To find out more about Warren Wright: http://secondwavelearning.comTo find out more about hiring Dov Baron as a speaker or strategist for your organization: http://fullmontyleadership.com/consulting or http://fullmontyleadership.com/speakingRemember you can now also find us on iTunes, Spotify, iHeart Radio, or wherever you tune into podcastsAnd on traditional radio stations across the US every Monday and Thursday on: 99.5 FM & 1520 AM Las Vegas102.1 FM & 1640 AM Lancaster, Philadelphia87.9 FM & 810 AM Macon, Gorgia 92.1 FM & 1630 AM Tampa, Florida97.7 The Villages, Florida96.3 FM Boulder, Colorado90.3 FM Milwaukee, Wisconsin 94.7 FM Pittsburg, Philadelphia87.9 FM Colorado Springs, ColoradoAlso look for us on ROKU TV where there’s 100K subscribers. If you are a regular listener, then a big thank you to you for making us the #1 podcast Globally for Fortune 500 listeners! And with a potential reach of 2.5 to 3 million listeners for every show, we’re honoured and grateful to be cited in INC.com as The #1 Podcast To Make You a Better Leader.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
