How does your State of Mind alter your Decisions

Dr. Reldan, “Relly,” Nadler was my guest on the Business901 Podcast. Our talked centered on leadership and developing the state of mind for making effective decisions. It is interesting what I learned about our mental models and as a result our everyday decisions.

Dr. Nadler is a leading psychologist and Executive Coach focusing on developing and providing cutting edge Emotional Intelligence tools and strategies for CEO’s, Executives, leaders, managers and their organizations and teams. His company, True North Leadership, recognizes and addresses the challenges leaders face today:

Problems:

The USA lost 8.4 million jobs from 2007 to 2009.
40% of the American workforce will be eligible for retirement in 2010. Leaders have to contend with a projected shortfall of 10 million workers in the next few years.
The Baby Boomer generation that is retiring has a higher Emotional Intelligence than Generation X and Y people who are coming into leadership positions. This is due to their time utilizing technology rather than face-to-face interaction with others.
Developing leadership bench strength has been a priority for organizations for the last 4 years.

His newest book, Leading with Emotional Intelligence: Hands-On Strategies for Building Confident and Collaborative Star Performers, gives hands-on solutions to these problems and more. After working with over 15,000 leaders over 30 years, Dr. Nadler has distilled some of his best advice and tips. After Daniel Goleman sold 5 million copies of Emotional Intelligence, readers and leaders have been looking for hard-hitting ways to raise their Emotional Intelligence and the people they lead.
