Leadership Coaching with Robin Sharma

Dr. Deitch: Hi, I’m Dr. Jason Deitch and I want to welcome you here today. I have the good pleasure of being here with my friend, Mr. Robin Sharma, International Bestselling Author of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari along with The Greatness Guy. Also consultant to many international companies, corporations around the world. Somebody who’s actually recently been named one of the top leadership coaches just behind the amazing jack watch shopping general electric. That is quite an honor and I want to first just congratulate you for that. That’s tremendous. Mr. Sharma: Thanks so much Jason. It’s good to see you again. Dr. Deitch: I appreciate it. Thanks for being here. So I want to start off by getting into, how do you describe what leadership is for employers who are looking to build their organizations and improve their employees? What is leadership exactly? Mr. Sharma: Well, I think it’s a very important question because leadership is so much more than a title. You know most of us, we’ve been in school to believe that leadership is a position, CEO, Vice President of Sales, HR Director, and my core message really is leading by title. In other words, leadership is a philosophy. It’s a way of being. It’s a way of working. It’s a way of being at home. And it’s all about the fundamentals of, you know or essentials of success. Leadership to me is about finding a cause you’ll stand for. Leadership is about committing to excellence in your work and at home. Leadership is about personal responsibility. Leadership is about leading by example and inspiring other people around you. So leadership is just a great philosophy that attacks. Your driver could adapt to it. The nurse could adapt to it. A mother could adapt, a CEO could adapt, and an entrepreneur could adapt to realize their potential, to have a better impact on the people around them and to live a fulfilling life. Dr. Deitch: Beautiful. As a wellness doctor then how would you translate that in terms of employers’ role and responsibility in terms of bringing wellness into the workplace? What opportunities do you believe that that leadership translates into, considering that most people spend most of their lifestyle at work? How do you believe that translates into wellness in the work place? Mr. Sharma: In so many ways, I mean for example let’s say you have a CA. And the CA could believe, “Well I’m not the leader. Only the doctor is the leader.” And would this philosophy I’m sharing about leading without title, everyone is a leader. The person who mops at the end of the day, is a leader, so what would happen in the practice? In the business, what would happen to the, let’s say it’s a corporation. What would happen to the corporation if the male room clerk and the HR person and the sales person and the person in the back room answering the phone, if every single one is part of a cultural belief that we all get to lead every day. And here’s something, maybe even to push the limit of every one for me. (Yeah.) But imagine, if that CA, or if that male room clerk said “I’m the CEO of my own small business unit called male room, or CA”. And every single day they go to work and say “I’m going to run my own little business within the larger organization”, then the larger practice within the larger company. What would happen in that organization? That person would feel better. They give more. They feel more responsibility. They do more. They unleash creativity. Everyone gets to work. Dr. Deitch: Absolutely. I’m sure you get this question often in terms of your coaching. I know we do in terms of bringing wellness in the work place. What’s your experience in terms of what employers should expect in terms of like a return on investment who are investing in these types of self-promotion programs. Programs that help people become their very best. Mr. Sharma: Massive. I mean according to Gallop Organization, the number one reason people leave in organization, Jason is they don’t feel appreciated by the person they work for. And the fact of the matter is every human being goes to work everyday. They want to grow. So developing them is actually serving their core need. They want to grow. They want to have more fun. They want to have more friendships. They want to feel more important. They want to be more creative. These are fundamentals so this kind of a program that you’re suggesting to help them rise and be their best. It’s the most important thing and important to do. Dr. Deitch: What trends have you seen in terms of bringing into some concrete things. Again, talking about lifestyle, wellness lifestyle, the philosophy that we talked about in terms of wanting to create a culture of wellness but also in terms of practical things that people can take actions steps on at work or that employers can provide tools for their employees. What trends have you seen or which trend would you like to see employers adapt? Mr. Sharma: Well, I mean there’s so many practical things that people could do. I mean first begins with just assuming personal responsibility. Sometimes you just have to be the person who provokes change. You know and a lot of employees have been there waiting for someone around them to improve the organization and the culture and to lead by example, you know, as Gandhi said “People change what you want to see in the world”. Small practical things, just do something small each and every day to improve. We call it NSI, Never Stop Improving. But if you look at the Taj Mahal for example, one of the wonders of the world, took 22 years to build that masterpiece block by block. So with an employee or anything can be induced each year to something no matter how small to improve. To improve at work, to improve at home would just be all about improving, because small daily improvements over time can lead to stunning results. I mean the final thing I would suggest is just a commendatory and it sounds very obvious, but the best sales people, the best employees, the best people in all forms of life are those who have a deep visceral passion for learning. They’re always reading. They’re always asking people questions. They listen brilliantly. They’re going to seminars. They’re listening to CD’s. They’re all about personal education because that’s how you bump up your gain in business and life. Dr. Deitch: Beautiful. Beautiful. I want to thank you for joining us here today. As always, it’s a pleasure to see you. And thanks you so much for joining us.
