E196 Leadership in a Lockdown with Angie Morgan

This episode offers you military-grade assistance to help refresh your leadership skills in this time of COVID-19 chaos.

Former Marine Corp Officer and Founder of Leadstar, Angie Morgan, and I talk about life under Michigan’s Lockdown.

Our circumstances:

Angie’s usually heavy travel schedule, filled with speaking at events and working with clients across the country, has come to a grinding halt. She has two school-age boys at home and is shifting her business to working from home.

The Rogers’ household is no longer an empty nest. My daughter Lucy, 19, is home from college taking her classes on-line and my self-employed husband Carl is working from our dining room table. I am used to working from my home studio within an EMPTY house, EVERY DAY. Neither my daughter or husband would choose this.

What you’ll hear:

accidental leaders
bosses vs. leaders
how you show up – increase your capacity to lead
who needs you most
making yourself available and reaching out
reframing the story
control the controllable
why you should wear your jeans one day each week
don’t apologize for circumstances you did not create
making the most of unscheduled time – creating structure
when you fail as a leader
should a leader show their own fears
“what if ” scenarios
finding the opportunities
snacking strategy

Today’s guest is Angie Morgan, 46, the New York Times best-selling author of SPARK: How to Lead Yourself and Others to Greater Success and Leading from the Front.

She is the founder of LeadStar, her work has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, and SUCCESS. She’s been a dynamic guest on CNBC, FOX News, and CNN. Angie also served as the Director of the Center for Creative Leadership’s Partner Network.
