Marketing Podcast with Jack McGuinness

In this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, I interview Jack McGuinness. Jack is a management consultant with over 35 years of experience. After serving with the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division, he helped build a successful boutique management consulting firm where he served as COO for 13 years. In 2009, he co-founded a new firm, Relationship Impact, a consulting firm focused on working with CEOs to unleash the potential of their leadership teams. He has a new book called — Building Great Leadership Teams: A Practical Approach to Unleashing the Full Potential of your Teams.

Key Takeaway:

Leadership teams have an enormous impact on their organizations. Dysfunctional teams hold their organizations back but great leadership teams accelerate their health and productivity. In this episode, I talk with the co-founder of Relationship Impact, Jack McGuinness, about what a great leadership team looks like, how it feels to be part of one, and what it takes to build a great one.

Questions I ask Jack McGuinness:

• [2:45] What is this book going to bring to the leadership genre?
• [3:40] Why is being a leader such a challenge for entrepreneurs sometimes?
• [7:31] How do you start looking at who should be on the team?
• [10:47] When you see teams break down, what’s the single greatest factor in the demise?
• [12:13] Do you think that it’s a good idea for teams to intentionally seek diversity?
• [13:23] Is what you’re talking about just as much a retention and recruitment tool as it is a productivity tool?
• [15:30] What is the leader’s job in a team?
• [17:52] So if I’m a leader or I’m on a team, and I’m thinking I need to pick up this book, what am I going to find in the book?
• [18:59] Where can people find out more about your book and your work?
