Episode 108: H. Jackson Calame & 5 Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable by Patrick Lencioni

ABOUT JACKSON

Jackson teaches visionary entrepreneurs how to unlock sustainable revenue Growth and expand their Legacy by becoming a Power Brand in their market. 96% of businesses fail within the first 10 years. Jackson teaches businesses, not only how to avoid failure, but how to win, by becoming a true leader in their market. Having worked in, launched, and scaled several successful startups in the b2b industry & SaaS space, servicing thousands of SMBs, Jackson has seen firsthand that even the best operators struggle and often fail. The problem begins with poorly managed growth, due to establishing a weak foundation, which inevitably leads to collapse. Jackson and his teams prepare business owners and executives to bridge their growth gaps. Collectively, we often fill the roles of COO, CMO, or CEO during this transformative process. Your key to success as growth occurs and operations shift, will require that you evolve. Developing an incredible culture, built around a clear vision dedicated to customer satisfaction, must be the focal point of a company’s mission in order to ultimately thrive. Most operators think they are prepared for this. The truth is, you aren’t. Personal growth will be necessary. Personnel shifts will occur. And in order for everyone to win, a business can only afford to have leaders who pull their own weight, who add value to the mission, not anchors who will hold you back.

CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS

• Jackson story as a son of God.
• “…instead of…honoring or fostering the anger that existed in my dad’s home, taking the choice to stand for the values that I learned about virtues from my mom’s home.”
• What he learned by convincing his dad to pay child support.
• The power of representing what you absolutely love.
• “There are so many ways that we react as leaders rather than allowing our people to step up and guide us.”
• Being a student of life.
• The power of your impact on other people.
• The importance of a rally cry in the workplace.
• “…if I can’t feel love in the way that I’m leading, then I need to take a step back.”
• What it means to work in a championship culture.
• Do you have meetings that reinvigorate you?

The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Jackson is, What lessons are you taking from your past trials and tribulations to instead create value and empowerment for yourself and others moving forward?
