Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 3: Leadership effectiveness there goes as saying that great leaders are born,
Speaker 3: not made. I'm sure we've all encountered a child, whether
Speaker 3: it was a niece, nephew. You know your daughter, your
Speaker 3: son a student that we felt like, oh, that was
Speaker 3: a born leader, Like he has the skills at such
Speaker 3: a young child to be a leader. And you know,
Speaker 3: in my opinion, to some extent, I think the capacity
Speaker 3: for great leadership is in me. However, we can all
Speaker 3: benefit from learning how to become a more effective leader.
Speaker 3: And although some people seem to just be gifted with
Speaker 3: these skills, leadership kits can be learned and they can
Speaker 3: be sharpened with time and practice. So I think it's
Speaker 3: really important to go over and cover just what are
Speaker 3: just some general traits of a powerful and successful leader
Speaker 3: in business. So I'll start with communication. Communicating effectively is key.
Speaker 3: You must be able as a leader to clearly and
Speaker 3: concisely explain business goals, tasks and objectives to your employees.
Speaker 3: If you find that in conversation you're not getting the
Speaker 3: message you're trying to relay across, or the individual that
Speaker 3: you're speaking to is not retaining the information, you need
Speaker 3: to sharpen your communications skills. So you should be comfortable
Speaker 3: speaking with one on one or you may be in
Speaker 3: front of a large audience or communicating to an entire staff.
Speaker 3: But ultimately, whatever you're trying to relay whatever information you
Speaker 3: want to get across, it needs to be retained and
Speaker 3: understood and it needs to be clear, so you know
Speaker 3: that that's an important factor in leadership. And also you
Speaker 3: want to be approachable. Communication is all about the steady
Speaker 3: flow of verbal exchanges of ideas and information, So as
Speaker 3: a leader, you must be approachable so that individuals will
Speaker 3: come to you and you can have that constant flow
Speaker 3: of conversation, motivate and inspire. This is a big one.
Speaker 3: So successful leadership is built on people. The best leaders
Speaker 3: they do drive their people with passion, enthusiasm, inspiration and motivation.
Speaker 3: You have to invest the time and the people so
Speaker 3: you are able to learn what are their strengths, what
Speaker 3: are their needs, what are their priorities? Right, because if
Speaker 3: you don't stay and the rest of this information, how
Speaker 3: are you able to make them feel valued and reinforce
Speaker 3: how their efforts are making a difference. And you also
Speaker 3: need to be sure as a leader you're encouraging their
Speaker 3: development because again their potential, meaningful goals and challenges need
Speaker 3: to be important to you as a leader, and you
Speaker 3: should also be setting clear goals and determine who's being
Speaker 3: able to achieve them.
Speaker 4: And address them accordingly.
Speaker 3: Also, as a leader for yourself, you want to take
Speaker 3: a step back and make sure that you're setting goals
Speaker 3: for yourself because once you radiate that enthusiasm, you're truly
Speaker 3: excited about what you're doing, and people will naturally be
Speaker 3: drawn to you. They will naturally see that while this
Speaker 3: individual's motivate, this one is setting their own goals.
Speaker 4: So now we.
Speaker 3: All know when we're working for someone that doesn't truly
Speaker 3: motivate and inspire us, we're not going to put our
Speaker 3: best effort forward. So that's a key. When you want
Speaker 3: to lead a team, you got to motivate them demonstrate integrity.
Speaker 3: So this is a piece that I work with you
Speaker 3: in employee relations is really driving integrity.
Speaker 4: So this is like a big one for me.
Speaker 3: You have to make sure you are displaying integrity as
Speaker 3: a leader through your daily actions, decision making behaviors, and
Speaker 3: you want to hold yourself accountable and take responsibility for
Speaker 3: your mistakes, and that's critical. Do not compromise your leadership
Speaker 3: for the sake of not being able to acknowledge you've
Speaker 3: made a mistake or maybe that wasn't the best decision right.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, this is the most important because you
Speaker 3: want to be respected. You want to be respected for
Speaker 3: being genuine, principal, ethical, and consistent right. It's otherwise you
Speaker 3: will face terrible repercussions. You could take action that can
Speaker 3: impact your business negatively, just because you tried to cut corners,
Speaker 3: just because you wanted the easy way out, or just
Speaker 3: because you weren't acting with displaying full integrity. You got
Speaker 3: to lead by example, and you know ultimately you want
Speaker 3: to set the right example, so you need to be demonstrated.

Speaker 4: In your leadership.
Speaker 3: Because I've encountered leaders that I kind of questioned their ethics,
Speaker 3: and I'm not gonna want to again put my.
Speaker 4: Best foot forward.
Speaker 3: So you have to ultimately understand you are leading by
Speaker 3: example and you want to be proud and ethical in
Speaker 3: all of your behaviors into the decision making, So managing complexity.
Speaker 3: As a leader, you're going to solve problems and you're
Speaker 3: going to need to make decisions under rapidly shifting circumstances.
Speaker 3: Learning to lead in a complex environment it is a
Speaker 3: vital skill. When facing a tough decision, you have to
Speaker 3: really start by determining what do I want to achieve?
Speaker 3: Way all the factors, consider all the consequences, and you
Speaker 3: know what are the available alternatives. So as a leader,
Speaker 3: you have to be confident in whatever decision you're.
Speaker 4: Going to make and you know you need to make it.
Speaker 4: You have to make these tough calls.
Speaker 3: It may be you know, literally you don't have a
Speaker 3: lot of time to make a difficult call.
Speaker 4: So as a leader, you just have to always be
Speaker 4: on top of it.
Speaker 3: And you know there may not be any definitive information available. However,
Speaker 3: you have to be able to assess the situation's complexity
Speaker 3: and determine what's the best course of action. You may
Speaker 3: not have a ton of resources or you may not
Speaker 3: have everything, but again you have to work with the
Speaker 3: information you have. So managing complexity and problem solving is
Speaker 3: really key when it comes to leadership.
Speaker 4: Now learning agility, so.
Speaker 3: Great leaders know what the strength of their leadership is
Speaker 3: built on the ability to adapt to all the changing circumstances, right,
Speaker 3: so you have to know how and when to seize
Speaker 3: one opportunities. We are all constantly learning and growing. Once
Speaker 3: you've reached the platform in your career, that can't be
Speaker 3: the hard stop on. When you're continuing to gather information,
Speaker 3: you have to expand on your knowledge and that's a
Speaker 3: reason why you all are here a part of eyl
Speaker 3: University because we are expanding on your knowledge. You never
Speaker 3: stop learning, no matter how far you've grown in your career,
Speaker 3: no matter how many accolades you've received, no matter how
Speaker 3: many degrees you have, there is always a teachable moment
Speaker 3: and you have to understand that you do.
Speaker 4: We don't know everything. There's always something to learn.
Speaker 3: You have to make a learning opportunity out of every
Speaker 3: single situation. So it's important that as a leader to
Speaker 3: understand that and just be agile non positional leadership. When
Speaker 3: we think about leadership, we often consider like a title
Speaker 3: or position. So we think about our managers, We think
Speaker 3: about our CEOs, we think about our vice presidents, our
Speaker 3: strategic directors.
Speaker 4: Are you know, senior aids.
Speaker 3: We think about just leadership role. We think about the
Speaker 3: power that is associated with these leadership roles.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: However, in non positional leadership, you can cultivate cultivate influence
Speaker 3: among a group, so you really don't need authority from
Speaker 3: others to be considered a leader. Most people often grow
Speaker 3: to a leader because they've demonstrated those behaviors and exhibited
Speaker 3: those signs early on in their careers. So if you
Speaker 3: have high aspirations, it's recommended that you do take every
Speaker 3: opportunity to step outside of the role and I prove
Speaker 3: that you're capable of much more. And I see this
Speaker 3: nonpositional leadership role coming out. It's when you have like
Speaker 3: a breakout employee, when you're leading from the middle, when
Speaker 3: you're taking initiative, when you're going that extra step and
Speaker 3: holding on some of the leadership skills that will improve
Speaker 3: on the workplace dynamic, will increase the efficiency of your
Speaker 3: entire team, and just will raise the bar for the
Speaker 3: quality of work. So you don't have to have the
Speaker 3: title or that authority to feel like you can go
Speaker 3: out of there and make an impact.
Speaker 4: It could because you will be recognized right
