What are you meant to do on this earth? Should you be playing a bigger game? Have you met success in what society says is important and still feel like there is a bigger game to play? You’re not alone. We are all primal creatures infused with a mandate to make meaning in the world. We ignore it at our peril. But how do you get big sh*t done in this time of Churn? We break it down and get the conversation moving in this powerful episode.

I’ll see you on the Rooftop.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #5: Pay Attention to Status.

What drives behavior in this time of Churn? We’re more distracted, disengaged, and distrustful than ever and we’re operating in a time that is volatile, uncertain, crowded, complex, and ambiguous. So what is at the core, driving our behavior? The answer - status. At our most primal we are status beings that use social bonds to survive. Join Scott as he dives deep on the importance of being aware of status in the context of our modern world.

CONTEXT ON THIS SERIES

In 1917, T.E. Lawrence, who you might know as Lawrence of Arabia overthrew the Ottoman Turks in WWI in modern-day Iraq and Syria, using strategic human connections at the local level. He did so by going into tribal environments and creating a level of trust that unified various tribes around one thing that they could all agree on through storytelling of ‘what could be.’ He wanted to help others who followed behind him do the same so he wrote The 27 Articles to share with them. Scott has taken these Lawrencian skills and adapted them to the Rooftop Leadership methodology and in this series will share the 27 Waterline Articles for the Rooftop Leader with you so that you are better equipped to lead through the disengagement, distrust, and distraction brought on by prolonged isolation, low trust, and uncertainty. If you’ll lean into these and integrate them into your life and business, you will be more attuned to the people you lead and be able to look at human behavior in a new way that allows you to lead at a higher level.

This is one of the most important realizations leaders can reach in this unprecedented Churn of division we live in today. But, then what? When nobody is coming, how do we step into the arena? That is exactly what this Rooftop Podcast aims to answer and this episode will get the conversation going!

I’ll see you on the Rooftop.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #4: When Sh*t Gets Tough, People Get Primal.

Do you see examples of primal behavior all around you? In boardrooms? On school buses? In restaurants? That's the churn - our arena and human nature feed into this unprecedented reality. These factors have placed us into a trancelike state of fear-based and anger-based behavior where human connection and broader perspective are no longer an option. Join Scott this week as he explores this reality more deeply and how we can overcome it.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #3: Get Below the Waterline.

If human nature is an iceberg - modern world above the waterline and traditional, primal world below - then the reality is that 80% of our human nature exists below the waterline. We really haven't changed much since the Neanderthal days - we are merely ancient brains in a high tech world. But our traditional nature is often covered up by modern world of supply chain and transactions. At Rooftop, we believe that quality human engagements have to happen below the waterline and they have to revolve around the principles that speak to our human nature. Join Scott in this episode as he lifts the lid on how to get below the waterline in your engagements and why it is so important to do so.

23 years after the attacks of 9.11.2001, America is still reeling from the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and the wholesale abandonment of our allies. It’s more important than ever that we not forget the lessons of 9.11.2001. Not just because of the moral imperative, and of the numerous sacrifices made by so many, but because of the likelihood that this failed withdrawal follows us home and puts us at even greater risk for another strike. I hope you’ll join me on this commemorative episode where we look at where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going in the ever-progressing story of the battle against violent extremism.

WATERLINE ARTICLE #2: Meet them where they are, not where you want them to be.

Rather than swaying people to be where you want them to be, we have to make it about the other party first. You can do this by focusing on their goals and dreams, learning their pain points that are blocking them from reaching those, and truly meet them where they are. This can be applied across life and business, so settle in and join Scott for this episode to learn more about the importance of meeting people where they are and how you can do so better.

Redlines are lines that you’re not willing to cross and past them, you are prepared to be coercive. On the battlefield, this looks like surgical lethality but in business, this can look like the willingness to let someone go or simply to make the hard decisions for the benefit of the collective. Join Scott for this episode to learn more about the importance of redlines and how they can make you more relevant and relatable to the people you lead.

I'll see you on the Rooftop,

Scott
