473: Your Intent Frames You as a Serving or Self-Serving Person
Manage episode 512843869 series 2407422
Ever caught yourself pushing your team harder for your own deadlines without considering what’s in it for them?
This episode draws from Mack Story's insights in "Defining Influence" to highlight the power of intent in blue-collar leadership, distinguishing low-impact manipulation from high-impact motivation.
Perfect for mechanics, welders, or any hands-on foreman, Mack will break down why believing "I'm here to serve others" fosters trust and moves your crew to action, while a self-serving attitude creates distrust and reduces your influence in the workplace.
Engage with key "Stop and Think" reflections: Does self-concern build or destroy trust, and how does that affect your influence?
Mack covers how principles—like adapting to individual differences—outperform one-size-fits-all practices, using examples from parenting parallels to workplace dynamics.
Discover the value of empathy in recognizing what truly benefits your team, and learn from personal stories of transformation to elevate your leadership.
By focusing on mutual gains and demonstrating genuine care, you'll increase your effectiveness, strengthen relationships, and lead with the kind of integrity that transforms groups of people working together into empowered teams making things happen together.
