How to Lead a Business, a Cause, or a Movement
Cort Dial is an author, entrepreneur, investor, and performance coach. He developed the All-In Leadership methodology, which will enable you and your business to reach heights never before imagined.
This episode is for leaders who stick to their beliefs even though some of those beliefs might not be popular choices. This is for leaders who are not afraid to shake the status quo.
Cort told a very personal story that he kept secret from his wife. His wife found out about this story only after she read his book… over 30 years after it happened! Listen to Cort narrate the incident that started his life’s mission.
If you want to be in the top 1%, you have to be willing to be, do, and say what the other 99% are unwilling to do. – Cort Dial
When asked about leadership, this is Cort’s unique insight: The best leaders lead from a future that they’re inviting others to help them realize. They don’t lead into a future because they’re already there.
The most effective leaders are those who bring their whole selves – their faith, values, and passions – into every part of their life. – Cort Dial
Cort pointed out that most organizations won’t listen to you until you think and speak like they do. But the “newbie” is extremely valuable because he sees things with a fresh pair of eyes. And to be a “heretic” – a person holding an opinion at odds with what is generally accepted – you need to have courage, because you might not even have evidence that your idea would work.
Commitment is a conscious choice to eliminate any choice but going forward. – Cort Dial
As a final piece of advice, Cort shared this simple but important question: During critical moments at work or in any aspect of life, ask yourself, “Who do I need to be in this moment to be my most effective?”
