The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk

As Kobe Bryant once said, “There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own.” That’s why the Learning Leader Show exists—to understand the journeys of other leaders so that we can better understand our own. This show is full of learnings taught by world-class leaders—personal stories of successes, failures, and lessons learned along the way. Our guests come from diverse backgrounds—CEOs of multi-billion dollar companies, best-selling authors, Navy SEALs, and professional athletes. My role in this endeavor is to talk to the most thoughtful, accomplished, and intentional leaders in the world so that we can learn from them as we each create our own journeys.

Notes on my conversation with former CEO of 7-Eleven and Blockbuster, Jim Keyes:

  • From adversity to the stars. Per ardua ad astra is a Latin phrase meaning "through adversity to the stars.” Adversity is your advantage. The tough moments you’re going through will help you be stronger long term. This is a useful mindset shift.
    • "Adversity is an advantage."
  • How did Jim get hired the first time and continually get promoted?
    • He told the truth. 
    • He was unafraid to tell it like it really was. No fluffy language. He got right to it and let them know how he could help them.
    • He focused on THEM, not him. They don’t care about why you think you deserve the job. They care about their company and if you’ll be able to help solve their problems. Focus on them, their issues, and how you can help them. That’s what Jim has done his entire career.
  • The C-Suite Learnings
    • What – Change, Confidence, Clarity
    • How - Critical thinking (ask why), curiosity, and creativity (have fun)
    • Why - Collaboration, Culture literacy (learn from others experiences), and character
  • Jim became one of the youngest managers in this history of McDonald's.
  • "The only one that likes change is a wet baby. Change is reality. Change equals opportunity."
    • CEO = "Change Equals Opportunity."
  • Confidence is all about preparation. The more you prepare, the more confident you'll be.
  • Clarity and Simplicity. "The hardest thing in the world is to keep things simple."
    • "True elegance is in simplicity."
    • "I can't lead if you can't understand. So, it's up to me to keep things simple and clear."
  • Nelson Mandela once said, “I never lose…I win, or I learn.”
  • "There are three prerequisites to a successful business transformation in the face of change: cash management, confidence, and collaboration. Managing cash flow is, by far, the most important but maintaining sufficient cash requires confidence and collaboration."
