Episode 4 – The Risks of Unexamined Influences

October 6, 2020

LI004 Episodic“There are historical forces in our lives that shape the very way that we see, comprehend and interact with what’s in front of us.” -Kari Granger

Welcome to Leadership Impact, the podcast for modern executives who are reinventing leadership within their organizations. Hosted by executive leadership coach and CEO of The Granger Network, Kari Granger, and Sound Financial Group CEO, Paul Adams, this podcast aims to address the topics of performance and leadership through real life examples.

In this episode, we discuss the invisible forces that shape the way we see, comprehend, and interpret the situations that we engage in on a day-to-day and moment-to-moment basis. These are the aspects of life where we think we have full freedom of choice, whether it be our decisions, actions, habits or relationships. Paul provides a real-world example of a billionaire who suffered extreme financial hardship as a result of not being aware of these influences. Rather than focusing on building sufficient capital, the billionaire yearned for a superfluence of wealth. What we learn from Kari and Paul in this episode is that every part of our being, from our familial upbringing to our religion and culture, influences how we assess situations and react to them.

What We Covered:

00:38 – Introducing today’s topic: the risks of unexamined influences

01:28 – Paul tells the story of a billionaire who lost it all because of inherent, unexamined influences

03:24 – Sufficiency, Surplus and Superfluence

05:01 – How the 2008 financial crisis affected the billionaire in Paul’s story

07:22 – Kari explains sights of shaping and how the billionaire in Paul’s story was shaped by undetected influences

12:22 – Sights of “not shaping” explained

14:33 – How different influences and shaping forces impacts the diversity of teams

Tweetables:

  • “There are historical forces in our lives that shape the very way that we see, comprehend and interact with what’s in front of us.” 
  • “In this country, success is measured in finances. It’s measured in fame and notoriety. It’s measured in material goods. And, because our success is so heavily correlated with our sense of self-worth, these things can drive us.” 
  • “We’re all being driven by different shaping forces. Which, by the way, is incredibly important when it comes to the diversity of our teams.”
