Stop Looking for Hacks: Build the Capacity to Lead | Robert Glazer

Send us Fan MailCan leaders expect their people to grow if they refuse to model growth themselves?Personal and organisational development do not come from another motivational slogan or short-lived productivity hack. They come from knowing what matters, building the right habits, and consistently doing the work, especially when you don’t feel like doing it.In this episode, Peter Boolkah speaks with bestselling author, entrepreneur and Friday Forward creator Robert Glazer about developing the capacity required to perform and lead at a higher level.Robert explains the four interconnected capacities behind his Elevate framework: spiritual, intellectual, physical and emotional.Together, Peter and Robert explore why some people struggle to change, how leaders influence culture through their behaviour and why external success can still leave somebody deeply unfulfilled.You’ll discover:How Robert’s Friday Forward email grew from an internal message into a global newsletterWhy did Elevate require three years and three complete rewritesThe four capacities behind sustainable personal developmentWhy high achievers are not necessarily working with better toolsThe difference between not knowing where to begin and refusing to tryWhy leaders must model the behaviour they expect from their teamsHow personal challenges can inspire people throughout an organisationWhy meaningful development is a long-term processWhy no shortcut or hack to replace doing the workHow core values help determine what deserves your attentionWhy discipline matters most when motivation disappearsHow can somebody appear successful while feeling no genuine fulfilmentWhy meaningful ambition must be matched by a willingness to do what is requiredThe central lesson is:Your leadership capacity places a ceiling on the people and organisation you are trying to develop. If you want others to rise, you must be willing to model the work yourself.CONNECT WITH ROBERT GLAZERWebsite: https://robertglazer.com/Friday Forward: https://robertglazer.com/about-friday-forward/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glazerCONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAHWebsite: https://www.boolkah.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoolkahX: https://twitter.com/boolkahABOUT PETER BOOLKAHPeter Boolkah is a business coach, author and speaker who has spent more than 20 years helping business owners build stronger, more valuable businesses that do not depend on them for everything.He is the creator of The Hamster Wheel Trap® and author of Your Business Sucks: Build a Business That Works Without Destroying Your Life.Peter works with founders and leadership teams on the issues that ultimately determine whether a business creates freedom or becomes another job: leadership, founder dependency, people, profit, execution, scaling, exit readiness and enterprise value.His approach is direct, practical and built around one simple question:Do you own the business, or does the business own you?Learn more at https://www.boolkah.com
