Quote: "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” (John 15:2)

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for. Good leaders grow on purpose. Points of Leadership is where that growth happens.

Hosted by Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, ordained minister, author, and leadership educator, alongside co-host Kristin Jaeck, CEO of ReWorking Strategies, combine over three decades of corporate leadership experience, this podcast delivers practical, faith-informed leadership development for leaders in any industry who want to lead with greater impact, integrity, and care for the people they serve. So, pull up a chair, call a friend, and take a listen.

Thank you for all your feedback on our last episode! We are honored to serve you and love that you had great takeaways from part one of this new series on bounty of growth. We are continuing from where we left off. In this episode of Points of Leadership, we will examine the pruning process in the leadership journey. Some leadership articles have different frames for the pruning process in the leadership journey. For example, the Havard Business Review uses phrases like; selective focus, workforce optimization or the familiar one- change management.

With fall around the corner, this episode uses plant analogy to examine the pruning process in leadership. For instance, why are stray branches taken off a plant intentionally, or why does farmers cut off wilted leaves or spoiled fruits from a crop. From a human perspective, God created humans with the ability for our brains to “self-prune” so that our brains can be more efficient. Synaptic pruning is a neuro-developmental process that allows the human brain to remove excess or weak synapses.

Furthermore, in this episode of Points of Leadership, we provide practical discussions on how the pruning process improves health, better light penetration and improved air flow. All while making the distinct connection with business ideas, relationships or company culture.

As always, the leadership principles we share here on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life. Thank you for engaging with us.

We are excited to launch this new series on growth! The research on personal and professional growth is extremely large, highly interdisciplinary and continues to grow annually, especially post pandemic. This is because of how the pandemic transformed the workplace and the explosion of digital learning. The Scispace’s bibliometric index states that there are an estimated 7914 publications that have been published on personal growth; of which includes peer-reviewed journal articles, books, conference papers, and major theoretical works such as self-determination theory, intrinsic motivation and character development.

Similarly, Scopus-indexed professional development research identified over 135 peer-reviewed articles specifically focused on career paths, labor market dynamics and professional development. All points to the growing interest in growth- be it personal growth or professional growth. For the remainder of the year, we will address key areas of growth.

In this episode of Points of Leadership, we provide an overview of this new series (The Bounty of Growth), a definition of growth and dive into the first aspect of this series- which is cultivating growth. Our discussion examines how to cultivate growth in practical ways. Lastly, we provide specific examples of growth, because growth is measurable transformation!

Growth be it personal or professional is not a title, or slogan, or vibe. Rather, growth is a measurable transformation in character, contribution and capacity. Growth is a result of disciplined process of consistently producing stronger outcomes than before. Anyone can embark on the journey of growth. It takes intentionality and focus. Growth is not something to force on anyone.

Quote: “Corporate culture matters. How management chooses to treat its people impacts everything for better or for worse.” --- Simon Sinek

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for.

Leadership sustainability is something that most Fortune 500 companies keep center focus on for long lasting impact of their services, products and customers. For example, Apple Inc has consistently ranked in the top 20 of the Fortune Global 500 list since 2013. This type of consistent impact is built and sustained through a corporate lens of excellence that trickles down to every aspect of the company and its culture.

In a 2023 Forbes article by former Forbes Council member Frayda Leibtag, one of the factors that contribute to an impactful sustainability is the power of celebrating success in the workplace. Leibtag states that while it's possible to navigate the workplace without mastering the art of sharing success, excelling in today's professional landscape and creating a positive work culture requires more than just participation; it demands being proactive about how companies communicate their own performance. The article further states that one of the most significant benefits of sharing success is cultivating a culture of celebration. Celebrating success in a company or team is a powerful way to bond, foster a sense of community and ensure fellow employees can feel the appreciation.

In this invigorating episode of Points of Leadership, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck explore and discuss the value of prioritizing celebration as a leader for the benefit of the team, organization or company. They discuss some of the visible benefits of making celebration a viable culture that brings many inter-related returns. Such as boosting team morale, building a culture that attracts high performing team, and setting a positive tone of appreciation.

Lastly, they discuss the underlying psychological impact of leading for sustainability and the power of celebrating success in the workplace. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.
