  • Curating Creative Leadership EP06
    2020/09/02
    In business, some of the most successful entrepreneurs and leaders maintain right and left-brained strengths. In this episode, I am joined by Zeke Zelker, a critically acclaimed and award-winning filmmaker. Both his background in economics and finance and his uniquely creative approach have lead to his success as a producer and entrepreneur. Zeke produced the first transmedia project at the Sundance Film Festival, Pandemic and most recently produced part of David Cronenberg’s Body Mind Change which is touring various museums around the world. Raised at an amusement park (Dorney Park), Zeke shares how his unique upbringing fed his history of creative endeavors and shaped the way he thinks about the world. In this episode, we explore: What it was like to grow up with a "Disney" mentality and how that shapes the view of entertainment and business. Zeke's unique path to becoming a Sundance-recognized film producer and why he decided to keep the Lehigh Valley as his home. Balancing right and left-brain to create economically-viable creative projects. The struggle of quantity over quality when it comes to content, entertainment, and business. Managing several irons in the fire and balancing multiple interests and ventures. Being a "grunt of creativity" and using it as a strength in problem solving and leadership. Leading by example and showing your people what it take to "make things happen". Creating Art Spark and Art Wars as a way to give back to the art and creative community as well as promote healthy eating and decision making. The power of "owning the idea" in addition to being creative. Incorporating a Chief Creative Officer into your business and how a creative perspective can add value and longevity. Finding inspiration from others when you can't find a mentor. Developing diversity as a means to mitigate risk in business. Adapting to the world around you as an entrepreneur. Taking uniquely better ideas and making them your own to creative a compelling business or story. Creating quality product and embracing quality of life. The difference between creating and curating. Advice for young people starting their career and how to build resilience and integrity in 2020. Dealing with adversity and seeing resistance as friction and energy rather than "being stuck".

  • Fostering Versatile Leadership EP05
    2020/06/26
    We are all called to be more flexible and innovative as leaders. In this episode, I am joined by Craig Reynolds, former CEO of Cigars International and current Senior Advisor to Scandinavian Tobacco Group, and his Executive Coach, Eleanor Lawrence of Human Dynamics, LLC and the Center for Creative Leadership. After engaging with Eleanor as a coach to address some self-identified internal weaknesses, Craig started to use the same tactics to intentionally develop high-potential leaders and ultimately identify his successor. Listen in to find out how Craig challenged his leadership team to not just run their departments but to run the business. In this episode, we dive in to the powerful idea of what we see in others and what others see in us. In this episode, we dive in on: Defining leadership and what it takes to build a leadership culture within an organization. What it means to be a versatile leader and understanding how to manage in chaos. Diversity of thought and fostering an open environment where senior management is empowered to challenge the status quo. How to go beyond creating efficient groups to building functioning teams. Utilizing assessments to become self-aware of right- and left-brained tendencies to teach versatility and agility for executives. Identifying the difference between subject matter experts and high-potential people. Integrating executive teams when facing acquisitions and mergers and sustain trust in your leadership. Asking for feedback on impact and effectiveness as a leader. Quantifying trust in an organization and showing vulnerability as a leader. Allowing team members to respectfully challenge decisions. Expanding your thinking as a leader and pay attention to the surrounding "white space" that could better prepare your organization for the unexpected. Creating a leadership culture through routinely and systemically developing your executive team. Challenging a team of leaders to not just run departments but run the business through accountability and responsibility. Resources mentioned in this episode: The Speed of Trust by Steven M.R.

  • Building a Collaborative Team EP04
    2020/06/09
    Restrictions due to COVID-19 hit the travel and tourism industry hard. The number one priority? Safety. I recently sat down with Tom Stoudt, the Executive Director for Lehigh Valley International Airport, to discuss how he is leading a regional airport and facing this challenge head-on. Tom, with a unique background as an aircraft mechanic who rose through the ranks into the executive suite, provides the key to his success as a leader: Collaboration. He also provides an insider look at how airports and airlines are preparing to move beyond the pandemic to provide a safe environment for workers and the public. In this episode, we discuss: The art and science of engineering safety into the system. The impressive team it takes to get planes off the ground in a heavy infrastructure environment. Assigning deputies and the importance of not operating in isolation. How Tom's background as an aircraft mechanic serves him in problem-solving as a leader. Being vigilant and focused as a leader. Preventing distraction and information overload. Communicating safety and ensure proper flow of information. Changing goals and shifting priorities in the face of major events (such as pandemics). Building a strong and diverse team. Trusting that team and making sure to listen as their leader. STAY TUNED: Dennis asks Tom for an insider's perspective on what aviation and the travel industry will look like beyond COVID-19.
