Blue-Collar Leadership®

Were you promoted without being given any leadership training? Are you trying to climb your way into a leadership position? If you answered yes to either of these questions, this post is for you. According to research, 87% of managers wish they had more training before becoming a manager. Unfortunately, it’s very common to be promoted into a leadership position from within or to be hired from the outside without ever receiving any type of formal leadership development training. These people are always expected to lead...most often without ever being taught how to actually lead. There's a big difference between being able to do the job and being able to motivate and inspire others to do the job well. Stop waiting for your boss to develop you. You develop you. If you won't invest in yourself, why should anyone else? We've made it easy for you to begin developing yourself. Our online "Blue-Collar Leadership® & Supervision: Unleash Your Team’s Potential" video course was created specifically to help develop those with leadership positions, and those who aspire to lead, move far beyond traditional management and supervision toward high impact leadership. Learn more about this content, preview an excerpt from the book, and learn more about the ~7.5 hour ONLINE VIDEO COURSE at https://lnkd.in/eqPJTdCa #leadershiptraining #leadershipdevelopment #managertraining #supervisortraining #leadership #bluecollarleadership #leadershipvideo #leadershipvideos #leadershiptips #projectmanagement #publicworks #construction #constructionmanagement #manufacturing #supervision

High impact leaders are easy to spot! They'll be developing the people on their team...from top to bottom and left to right. Jason Denam is a great example. Watch and learn. Then, ask yourself a question: How am I doing as a leader? Mack Story, Blue-Collar Leadership® had the opportunity to interview Jason earlier this year.

The challenge of not knowing what you don’t know...   The more I learn the more I become aware of all that I don’t know. More awareness leads to more reading, learning, and applying, which leads to an even higher level of awareness of all that I don’t know. It never ends. I call it “dumber by the book.” Sure, I learn more with every book, but I also become aware of so much more that I don’t know. As I read to increase my knowledge and understanding, I also feel less knowledgeable or “dumber” overall because I’m now aware of so much more I don’t know but need to know. It happens with every leadership book I read. “Principle-centered people are constantly educated by their experiences. They read, they seek training, they take classes, they listen to others, they learn through both their ears and eyes...they discover that the more they know, the more they realize they don’t know.” ~ Stephen R.

“Every person gravitates to the place in life where they belong, by preparation and acquired habit, as naturally as water flows downhill. Nothing can change this, no matter by what name one calls the circumstance. They can call it luck, or a fortunate break, or whatever they please; but let me tell you that the only sort of luck any person can depend upon is that which they provide for themselves, through painstaking preparation for whatever they desire in life.” ~ Andrew Carnegie This week's edition of the Blue-Collar Leadership® Tips newsletter features thought-provoking quotes about "preparation" and a story about an unexpected opportunity that Ria Story had recently. I hope this edition motivates and inspires you to become more intentional about preparing yourself for the unforeseen and unexpected opportunities that await you. These opportunities are already out there waiting for those who are prepared to show up and claim them.
