Strong Leaders Serve with Teri Schmidt
The leadership podcast for people who are in leadership not for the status and power, but instead to use that status and power to turn potential into performance for positive change.
Hosted by Teri Schmidt, Leadership Coach & CEO of Strong Leaders Serve.
Each week we focus on supporting leaders who are dealing with the overwhelming realities of transitioning into and operating in roles where their success isn't just defined by their performance, but by the performance of their team.
Roles where they are responsible for building trust, promoting psychological safety, conflict management, taking care of their team member's wellbeing, motivating other humans, and managing up, all while trying to GET THINGS DONE.
Through solo episodes with focused and relevant leadership tips and inspirational interviews with seasoned leaders and experts, we help leaders get past their overwhelm to careers of courageous impact.
Listeners hone their skills in making their workplaces more compassionate and just through their leadership.

135. From Authority to Influence: Why "Because I Said So" Doesn't Work in Leadership
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Getting people to do what you want is hard work.
You'd think that some positional authority would make it easier right?
As a manager, shouldn't you be able to get your team members to take ownership of their work? Or more easily align with your peers?
In this episode, Teri shares her reflections on positional authority, extrinsic vs. intrinsic motivation, and how she's seen leaders effectively influence their teams to create lasting positive impact.
The approach she shares is effective with all types of relationships (peer, leader, managing up) and is a preview to what we teach in our Learn by Doing (Good): Communicating with Impact experience.
