Businesses are supposed to be the answer to society\\u2019s problems, not society\\u2019s problems.\\n- Create a powerful cause within your company then create \\u201croots groups\\u201d and empower these groups to identify the strategic actions to achieve that cause.\\n- There are three layers of strategy: Strategic focus, outcomes, and actions.\\n- Strategic focus and outcomes are in the arena of the executive team. Others in the organization should help to develop the actions.\\n- Leadership intelligence is a combination of cognitive intelligence (IQ), emotional intelligence (EQ), and system intelligence (Sys-Q).\\n- System intelligence is an awareness of how actions influence individuals, processes, etc. within and beyond the organization.\\n\\nQUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION\\n\\n- What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? \\u201cEarn success\\u201d: People experience the greatest sense of happiness, fulfillment, and joy by accomplishing things that are hard.\\n- Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: \\u201cA leader is\\u2026\\u201d Confident and humble, aware of the systematic impact of their actions and behaviors, and responsible for the impact their work has on the world around them.\\n- What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? How can I be the spark that activates the potential in the people around me?\\n- What book would you recommend to leaders? The Power the Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business by John Mackey and Rajendra Sisodia\\n- If you could get every listener to start doing something THIS week to help them be a better leader, what would it be? Understand that what we focus on is really driving our actions and behaviors, so dial in on where you are focused.\\n- As a general life principle, is it better to ask \\u201cwhy?\\u201d or \\u201cwhy not?\\u201d \\u201cWhy?\\u201d because it is more compelling. From it we can build actions and behaviors that flow from that \\u201cwhy?\\u201d\\n\\nWebsite:\\nhttps://blendificationsystem.com/\\n\\nContact:\\ndan.bruder@fusiondynamics.net\\n\\nFind Dan on social media:\\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/danbruderco (@danbruderco)\\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danbruder88/ (in/danbruder88)\\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Blendification-System-100263685053446/ (@blendification-system)'
