Reframing Leadership

Readers of my blog, followers on social media, email subscribers, and event attendees have many things in common…we are all Social Entrepreneurs! We don’t work for large corporations and we are changing people’s lives. It’s hard work and more often than not, we are stuck. We are stuck with great ideas and great skills and not able to impact the people who needs us the most and are not able to attract the income we deserve. Am I correct?

Well, it’s time to change that picture. I’ve been blogging and podcasting for a while sharing my reverse paradigms on leadership and defining leadership as a pathway to profit. We profit from our actions. Others profit from our actions. Profit has many dimensions, however, making income is primary if we plan to fully achieve our mission and vision.

Success Graphic

Does This Describe You?
You are tired and frustrated because…
  • You are quite successful, however you have hit a glass ceiling of income and expansion…
  • You are quite successful, however you aren’t making the income you deserve…
  • You have great ideas, however you can’t figure out how to monetize those ideas…
  • You are working all the time and can’t get everything done…
I get it. I just finished a 20-city tour presenting my leadership and organizational content developed over the past 30+ years of working with charities and small businesses. I found out that in every city people expressed the same issues and presented the same problems to address. These were and still are:
1. Leadership Burnout!
Burnout is at a level that it effects everything…even our health!
2. Team Underfunctioning!
The leader is doing too much and their teams, boards, staff, etc. aren’t doing enough.
3. Lack of Sufficient Revenue!
There’s not enough profit (you know, the money left over after all expenses
are paid). There simply not enough profit to fully achieve the results we envision.

I'm Hugh Ballou, The Transformational Leadership Strategist™

I have created this blog portal for you with resources, now paradigms for thinking, and interviews with people who have cutting edge ideas and proven strategies for achieving more without wasting a lifetime trying to figure it out. I know you can most likely figure things out for yourself, however, why not shorten the process and make it easier on yourself.

I spent 40+ years as a musical conductor and have transposed the skills used every day by a musical conductor to organizational leadership so that boards, staff, and team members respond to the leader as a fine-tuned ensemble responds to every nuance of the conductor. Transformation begins with the leader, and then moves into the organization. Creating an ensemble of excellence is what Conducting Transformation is all about.

My 4 Leadership Principles are a manifestation of the context of leadership from the musical conductor’s point of view. It’s all about building a high functioning culture of excellence. This blog has multiple resource sections. Here’s the overview of those resource channels.
