Here we are for part 2 with Anese Cavanaugh, as she  continues her discussion of Intentional Energetic Presence and her book Contagious Culture.

Anese is devoted to helping people show up and bring their best selves to the table in order to create significant positive impact in their lives. She is the creator of the IEP Method® , an advisor and thinking partner to leaders and organizations around the world, and author of Contagious Culture: Show Up, Set the Tone, and Intentionally Create an Organization That Thrives.

We’ll see you on the other side of the conversation with our round of questions.

Social Shareables - Takeaways from part two with Anese,

When addressing culture, it is an inside out approach. Leaders, look inside and then move out.

We all have superpowers and have an impact on those around us. Choose today how you will use them.

Is the way I show up

Is the way I talk to myself

Is the way I talk to other people

Is the way I take care for myself

Is the way I regard others

...helping me have the impact I want to have on the world? If, “no”, then there is beautiful work to be done there.  

Showing up for yourself means you share the idea in a meeting when you normally wouldn’t share.

Make your next meeting more productive: make it shorter and make an agreement to have no phones in the meeting.

Questions for entrepreneurs, leaders, and managers

Do you believe you have superpowers? IE, do you truly believe you impact those around you with your attitude and energy?

How can you approach your next meeting with intention that will affect the energy of you and your team?

How we impact ourselves. How we make ourselves feel.

How we impact the world around us. What have I left? What is my imprint?

The importance of words and how it affects how we show up.

Biggest Lesson: eat and serve more ice cream.

Welcome back, this is our last part with Cindy Stein, Greene County Missouri Auditor. She’ll talk about vision for the Great Game of Government and how everyone plays a role in determining the direction of their organizations, whether in government or business.

Social Media Shareables:

“My vision is that this would spread to all local, state and federal governments.”

“If someone believes in the mission, they can influence others, including leadership to join the cause of open-book management.”

“I would not be here talking with you if it weren’t for by Great Game Coach, Rhonda Alexander.”

Questions

1. What can you do to help bring this to your local government?
2. Long-term engagement is tough. The county government plays a variety of games to keep them engaged. In addition, Cindy shared that they come up a focus for the year. For example, learn all the different kinds of government funds. What game themes and areas of focus could help inspire your team to keep focused on the critical numbers?

Challenge:

If you’re in government or want to help your local government get a better handle on their/your finances, present this last series of episodes to them. I have no financial stake in the matter, perhaps  you should give the Great Game a call to get some ideas going.

Welcome to part 2 with Cindy Stein, Greene County Missouri Auditor since 1994.

We’ll continue our conversation with Cindy today about how the Great Game of Business is being implemented in the Greene County Government.

Social Friendly Shareables:

“Are your employees bringing solutions to the organization’s problems?”

“Moody’s cites Open Book Management as one of the reason’s Greene County has come out of it’s economic troubles.”

“It’s not the leadership, it’s the Greene County employees that got us to a better place financially.”

“Not only did we improve cash balance, but we also had 18 pages of efficiency improvements.”

“Getting fully engaged employees involved in projections helps expedite the budgeting process.”

Questions

1. “Are your employees bringing solutions to the organization’s problems?”
2. Cash balance is the critical number Greene County focused on for the first couple of years. Entrepreneurs, what is your number that is critical to your survival and ultimately growth? What departmental/division critical numbers do you have that can tie into a bigger critical number?
1. Should you come up with this number or your team?
3. Cindy speaks a lot about projections and how it helps stave off problems and helps expedite the budgeting process. How can you engage employees to project the numbers that are critical to your business?
1. How would this improve your finances and budgeting?
4. How can the leadership of the company understand how they fit into the bigger goals of the organization? Could something like HIPS or High Level Planning Sessions help?

Before we get started, I want to remind you of the drawing we’re having this week. (Of course many of you will be listening to this after the fact, sorry, it’s both the magic and curse of podcasting.) Anyway,  James Lehman, my previous guest offered up an opportunity for one listener to take a free Energy Leadership Index Assessment and phone evaluation with James after he receives the results. I found out it has a value of $419. I am still accepting entries until midnight March 5th. Go to inspiredandintentional.com/energy to register for the drawing.

I’m excited to begin a new 3 part series with Cindy Stein.

Cindy S. Stein, Certified Public Accountant and a graduate from Missouri State University.

Cindy began her career with a local public accounting firm and remained there until her election to Greene County Auditor in 1994.

We’ll be talking with Cindy today about how the Great Game of Business is being implemented in the Greene County Government. Greene County is in Southwest Missouri, the largest town being Springfield. Many of you have heard of Branson, it’s just North of them.

Tweetables - “It’s about the employees and the foundation they have developed and the culture they help foster.”

“We’re not questioning the person. We’re questioning the number.”

Questions for part 1 with Cindy Stein.

1. What area of your government could use a dose of open-book management?
2. Could you implement open-book management before a crisis arises?
3. It’s about the employees and the culture they help foster. Is this true for your government?

Remember, James Lehman, my previous guest offered up an opportunity for one listener to take a free Energy Leadership Index Assessment and phone evaluation with James after he receives the results. I found out it has a value of $419. I am still accepting entries until midnight March 5th. Go to inspiredandintentional.com/energy to register for the drawing.

I’ve been asking for reviews of the podcast. While this is still important, my new call to action for listeners and readers is subscribe to the podcast in iTunes or Stitcher. A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I would have a drawing when I reached 100 subscribers. This isn’t an easy number to get at this point. Instead, my critical number will be when my episodes average 100 downloads. Right now, they’re at 51. When they hit an average of 200, I’ll have a drawing for a book on this topic.

If you’re already subscribed, thank you and share this with as many of your peers who you believe would benefit. If you’re not subscribed, I’ll provide a link in the show notes or you can go to http://inspiredandintentional.com/episode22 and you may click the link.
