This is the
Ed
Myland Show. All right, welcome back to the show, everybody. So we're through the 14th law now, and we finished season two, and I'm honored that I get a chance to spend some time with all of you answering your questions. I think we've had 10,000 questions. Is that right, Max? Yes. 10,000 submitted questions, and 9,998 of them are for you, John. Two from me. I did ask my mom and my sister to submit two questions for me. Shoot. But we're honored to have you back, John.
It's always good. It's always good to be with you. Always, always good. I love you. It's Christmas. I love you too. When they say Ed, I've said yes. I don't even know what the question is, but it's just a yes if it's Ed. Isn't it fun to be able to do things like this together that we both love to do, but then to help people? Yes. I mean, it's kind of like it's almost... unreal that we get to help people and add value to them and then just have enjoy each other as friends and and this is our life and it's
a
blessing this is what we do yes it is a blessing
you know i haven't told you in a while but i i love you and since my father's passed away you know you're the most important role model and man in my life i just want you to know that
thank you sir yeah i'll do my best Be who I need to be for you because I sure do love who you are and I love what you do. You know, you do it with such excellence. You're so gifted. And yet, you do it with such a beautiful heart. You know, when I see giftedness with heart, it's a beautiful thing. Well, I'm looking right at it. Well, you know, I mean, I've seen beautiful hearts, but maybe not the gifts weren't there. Beautiful gifts, the hearts weren't there. But, you know, when you can put that head and that heart together and do it for others and do it for the right reason, and you do it for the right reason. Thank you. Every time we're together, it's just a pure delight. I
know. I know. I love it. All right, we'll stop loving on each other and answer your questions here, everybody. And by the way, I'm serious when I say that the vast majority of them are clearly for you. So we're also joined today by my son, Max, who produces the show, and he's going to be offering the questions up to us. So, Max, love you. Great to have you here. Let's get this rolling.
Yeah, I love the both of you guys. Excited to be here. So the first question that we got submitted, and again, this is when people would download the workbook. They would submit a question to you guys. This one specifically for the both of you, it would be, what do you see today as the biggest problem of how people lead? I'll let you go first.
Well, you know, it's interesting. I'm asked sometimes how I could stay in the leadership game so long. Yeah. And I say, well, you know, what we have to understand is the leadership game, when you think of leadership, it's kind of like baseball. You say, well, I play a game of baseball. Well, the game of baseball is the same, but every game isn't the same. Hmm. And so, yes, there are certain rules and regulations, but then the game all takes on an identity of its own. And in leadership, in my years of leading, when I started off 50 years ago plus, and it's been literally 50 years now since I really felt kind of called to do leadership, when I started off, things were so different. I mean, you didn't have to see before others see like you do now.
You just had to see more. Just had to see a bigger picture. Now with social media and everything moving again, before starting to replace more. When I started off in the leadership game, if you had a title, then you were the leader. If you had a position, it was a noun, not a verb. Now it's a verb. And so when people talk about the transition of leadership, what I know about is this. Managers treat everyone the same, pretty much. Management kind of likes everything solid and stable and organized. They like the predictable. But in the leadership world, it's exactly opposite. It's the unpredictable. And what makes leaders really good is that they're able to seize the moment
