Episode #136 - Overcoming The Bullies & Being A Leader: An Interview With Dr. Jim Salvucci

At some point of our lives, we have faced someone who not only disagrees with you, but bullies you to feel incompetent, ungrateful, and overall make you demoralized. However, these thoughts and feelings about ourselves come from positions of "leadership" that are often not great leaders in themselves. They have not put in the hard work, in some cases, to work on past problems & situations that make them incompetent, and they never realize this. Today's guest, Dr. Jim Salvucci, shares his unique perspectives on leadership, and how it shapes not just current leaders, but how he works with young leaders to think about the overall process of growth and development within ourselves. Knowing how to best work on yourself can create opportunities that address bullying, but also being a strong leader in the moments of enjoyment that we should all seek in the work we do. (BONUS! We also talk about Bob Dylan's music, which is an amazing connection to this episode!)Guest BioDr. Jim Salvucci was an English professor and faculty leader when he was asked to become the dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at his university. There was one hitch, though. The School of Humanities and Social Sciences did not exist, so he had to found it. He soon realized that his lifelong background as a leader in many settings did not prepare him adequately for the challenge of founding a school. Jim is an expert in writing and communication and a passionate teacher. His varied experience and extensive learning have made him a seasoned public speaker, engaging audiences on four continents in a variety of formats, including podcasts (his called On Leading With Greatness), summits, and workshops. Jim writes a weekly newsletter and is writing a book. Becoming an entrepreneur out to lead a movement to guide young managers to become the next generation of great leaders, Jim’s knowledge of and commitment to leadership and teaching is unsurpassed.Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Dr.Salvucci.NY@jim_salvucci on Instagram@JimLeaders on TwitterYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jimsalvucci/featuredWebsite: https://www.guidanceforgreatness.com/Toastmasters International -Home - Toastmasters is an international organization that has allowed your podcast host to go through personal and professional connection, combining all kinds of different types of communication and leadership development.
