four people on each side of a videoconference

three steps to use.

doing the disc assessment with our team, we learned that some people love meetings and some people despise them. the “d” (dominance) personality on the disc scale tends to be direct, very results-oriented and less collaborative in meetings. the “i” (influence) personality enjoys meetings because they provide an opportunity for social engagement and collaboration.

the “s” (steadiness) personality may not feel comfortable speaking up in meetings unless they are called upon. the “c” (conscientiousness) personality may need to rally more energy within themselves for meetings because they tend to value working independently over collaboration. knowing the personalities of your leadership team members will help you run more effective meetings.

“back in 1981, i didn’t even know what $1.3 billion was,” weiner quips. “but i always knew i wanted to build something.”

over the decades, weiner redefined what it meant to lead in public accounting, emphasizing trust, talent, and strategic growth. rather than micromanaging, he viewed his role as “architect,” guiding the firm’s culture, empowering top-tier professionals, and letting his team do what they did best. “if you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room,” he said.

seven key filters to use.

by anthony zecca
leading from the edge

now that we have completed an assessment of your leadership team and your leadership, the third leg is assessing the overall performance of the firm. this assessment, coupled with the assessment of the leadership team and your leadership, provides a strong foundation upon which to build the roadmap (strategies) for moving the firm from where it is today to a standout, high-performing firm. the underlying objective for this assessment of the firm is to have a factual basis for establishing a myth-free and accurate baseline of the firm by analyzing a number of key characteristics.

bissett bullet: don’t fall at the first hurdle

today’s bissett bullet: “i told your person on the phone i was happy with what my accountant does. good. tell me how they get involved with influencing your future.”

by martin bissett

we are very easily thrown off the scent when a concern is raised against us. we automatically interpret this as rejection and as such do not use common sense to deal with what is a fairly straightforward issue. when somebody tells you that whoever they booked the meeting with was informed that you were perfectly happy, this is them demonstrating to you that they are scared about the possibility of changing. put them at their ease with a very simple follow-on question and make sure that they know that you are not so easily put off.

today’s to-do:

if available, ask a colleague to practice resolving concerns with you in a safe, comfortable environment so that you do not freeze in the real situation.
