Many supervisors, managers etc have no desire to be a leader. Not faulting them, but most people are just trying to make the most money they can in the 9-5 arena which typically requires becoming a manager. An extreme minority of people look to personal development to better themselves. In some ways it is a luxury to be watching content like this. So let's be grateful. And good job to anyone who is spending their own valuable free time trying to make a better life for themselves and presumably their colleagues.

[@robertbeckler5058]

I could not agree more with this guy. I love standing back and watching young guys figure it out. It's hard to bite your tongue sometimes but it's fun.

[@alexanderlyon]

Thanks, Robert.

[@MountainofInspiration]

Skills and will. All leaders have to adapt to these two elements.

[@alexanderlyon]

You got it!

[@MountainofInspiration]

@@alexanderlyon Thanks for this awesome video

[@sarahtracy1746]

Another great video Alex. Thank you! I shared it with a couple of other leaders in our school. Thank you!!

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi, Sarah. You made it into the comments section! Very nice. :-) Thanks for sharing this. Let's talk soon when you get the time.

[@BigFattyNat]

Thanks for this drop Alex, always brings me happyness to see you in my feed. Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas

[@alexanderlyon]

I appreciate that, Nathan. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas too.

[@The-InspirationChannel]

Thank you Coach Alex. I find all your videos really helpful. I am on a mission to watch all of them and practice what you teach.

[@alexanderlyon]

My advice is to start with the most recent and work backward. The older videos are starting to look and sound old. Been at this for over 7 years now!

[@wakeup3018]

Great content, valuable and simple advices and interesting information giving, thank you so much! Keep going with this channel, Mr. Lyon!)

[@Bang_Lam2022]

Thank you so much, Alexander. Great insight. Greetings from Indonesia.

[@L3roy]

This was very helpful! I believe I’ve encountered every scenario personally, and reflecting on how I’ve handled them I know there is room for leadership growth! Thanks again for the great insights.

[@alexanderlyon]

Hey, brother. Thanks for commenting. Already at 185 (as of this writing)??? It picks up speed, eh? Nice!

[@L3roy]

I know right?! It’s crazy!

[@shar935]

This is a brilliant video. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🙏

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad it was helpful, Shar.

[@marthavillafane3198]

This a video to watch many times, thanks.

[@alexanderlyon]

Thanks, Martha. I'm glad it has lasting value.

[@WalkinginDivineHealth]

Great points, Thank you!

[@alexanderlyon]

Thank you, Solea.

[@bats4748]

Awesome video

[@carlosalbertodecotelli8307]

The strategic design of Thayer Leadership activities, rebuild the mentality and resistance forces, necessary to preserve the posture and attitudes exclusive to those who assume the responsibility of leading efficiently and accumulating the results delivered.

[@senelemapoka5174]

I appreciate your content.

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad you enjoy it, Senele.

[@johncrocker4209]

Never realized I was a "situational" leader. I train. Then verify. After that my leadership is only needed in emergency situations. If they want growth I can't give them I point them in the direction they need to go, then move on. I always considered myself an "indifferent" leader but it fostered a lot of loyalty.

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi, John. Awesome. I find that most training and coaching-centered leaders end up having strong Situational qualities because they know people need solid skills do succeed.

[@nimageofmine]

As always, thank you for such quality content. How do you recommend dealing with someone who has skill and will, but also a lot of ego (e.g. my way or the highway, superiority complex, etc...)? It can impact the culture of the team.

[@alexanderlyon]

Hm. Interesting question. Are you the person's official supervisor? If so, then you can coach them to work more cooperatively with others and show that others have value to add as well. If you are not their supervisor, then you can give their supervisor feedback about the employee if you believe it is worth it. Either way, that's a task that is best left to the person's official supervisor.

[@nimageofmine]

@@alexanderlyon Thank you. I am not the official supervisor. But the cross team collaboration is quite frequent. Unfortunately, their manager is quite defensive about his entire team.

[@rekhark4450]

I'm struggling with complexity leadership.. can you plz help me to understand it well

[@qadirbux333]

Sir we need your help , on which forum ,you can reply our questions.

[@alexanderlyon]

I do my best to reply to comments on new videos (but not as much older videos). Just post a question in new comment on this video.

[@darrellborland119]

This can be a tough one. In today's environment, getting skilled/motivated workers seems to be an oxymoron. Many graduating from high school, or with general degrees from liberal colleges, are loaded with debt, but!....they have been indoctrinated into woke.ness. LOL. The results can be disturbing...to say the least. Entitled young people usually are useless, unless they can be turned around...usually too late by adulthood...this observation first hand, coming from professional encounters, and watching responsible media, who are on the same wave length, as those of us who function in the real world of shared responsibilities. In closing, thanks for your video.

[@LachlanMelville95]

Can u do a video of the piers morgan and andrew tate interview

[@alexanderlyon]

That's actually a pretty good suggestion! I'll take a look.

[@memmedmemmedov8135]

Please add Turkish subtitles

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi. I just added them to this video and will add them to future videos. Thank you for the suggestion.

[@messizhao3813]

I have to say , it is so monotonous to watch a video has only one person saying

[@islamic.mp4]
