Episode 62 Building your House of Leadership with Joshua K. McMillion
Every leader has their unique style, core values, and principles. However, establishing these can be a complex task. That's where the INSPIRE acronym, developed by Joshua K. McMillion, comes into play. In his latest podcast episode, Josh guides us on a journey to construct our very own House of Leadership. He provides a framework that enables leaders to identify their beliefs, narrate their passion and purpose, and select a sturdy foundation for their leadership style.
The journey starts with introspection and self-reflection. Identifying your beliefs is the first step in crafting your House of Leadership. These beliefs are shaped by defining moments that have influenced your life and formed your core values. Reflection on these moments, values, and the principles you continuously emulate is essential to becoming a purposeful and accountable leader.
Once the foundation is set, it's time to build the walls of your leadership house. These walls are erected using integrity, consistency, and courage. It's about being forward-looking, allowing transparency, and capturing the core values that guide your actions. Josh emphasizes the importance of maintaining balance, ensuring that your leadership style doesn't become one-sided.
The roof of your House of Leadership symbolizes the umbrella for your leadership style. It needs to align with your head, heart, and hands, balancing each part of your house of leadership. This roof should inspire you to see what is possible when each element works in equilibrium, engages your heart, and enlists your hands.
Finally, the strength statement is what supercharges your leadership structure. It's an affirmation that provides clarity, centers you during challenging moments, and takes you back to important life lessons. Sharing your House of Leadership with others and getting feedback is critical to ensure authenticity and gain traction in your leadership journey.
Building a resilient team is key to becoming a purposeful, accountable leader. Josh explains using the INSPIRE acronym to build your team and foster inspiring leadership. The focus is on collective resilience, which can exponentially increase our abilities to overcome adversity, adapt, and grow.
In conclusion, Joshua K. McMillion's INSPIRE blueprint provides a comprehensive framework to construct your unique House of Leadership. It is a practical and intuitive approach that encourages leaders to delve deep into their core values, principles, and aspirations and use these to shape their leadership style. The journey may be complex and require introspection, but the end result is a more fulfilled and effective leader, capable of building and leading resilient teams.

Too small of a vision leads to expected results; too bold, it becomes unrealistic, and you fail to develop the required resources.

Purposeful Accountable Leaders (PALs) understand where they are on their leadership journey and what is required to continue growing. How? Transformational leaders have Leadership Intelligence (LI).
