Robert Glazer, founder and Managing Director of Acceleration Partners, and is focused on personal motivation, and coaching people to go well beyond what they have done before.

Key Takeaways

[5:52] Employees come into a company, they leave, and they advocate for the company. Citing Lee Caraher’s The Boomerang Principle, Bob notes that his companies maintain partnerships with alumni.

[11:58] There must be room for failure. A failed campaign can inform a better campaign, after a debrief.

[16:33] When people have work struggles, their struggles are often tied to personal issues.

[18:52] Bob talks about performance and capacity. Capacity is like a balloon. You can learn to perform up to your capacity and then you can learn to grow your capacity more than you have ever done.

[27:18] Your zone of strength is where you excel.

[29:45] A turning point on Bob’s leadership journey was learning to ask, “Who are you? What do you value? What do you really want from life?” When you can align your life around all of that, you’ll be extremely successful. If your job supports your core purpose, then you’re going to be happy.

Quotable Quotes

Real relationships can be sustained through good times and bad.

Win-win is the essence of performance

Trust = Character & Competence

When 20% is R&D, failures are not catastrophic.

If you knew something would work in advance of trying it, you could be on a beach somewhere.

Coaching people to where they should be is Step A of leadership. Step B is getting them to do more than they’ve ever done.

“Almost every big new idea I have comes out of travel.”

The worst thing you can do is work on your weaknesses. Be aware of them, but spend your time in your zone of strength.

“If you haven’t actually figured out where you’re trying to go, it’s very hard to lead others.”
