We overcome an obstacle – and that’s cause for celebration. But what if there’s actually a way to obliterate the problem and do away with it, once and for all?
A proven, solid problem-solving process can do just that… and, BTW, what’s this got to do with Love?
David Veech is the author of two best-selling books: Leadersights: Creating Great Leaders Who Create Great Workplaces , and The C4 Process: Four Vital Steps to Better Work .
He teaches leaders how to love, learn, and let go so they can create a workplace that fully engages the creative and productive power of people.
In this episode, David helps us learn how to obliterate obstacles rather than just overcome them. Learn how to use critical thinking as a powerful tool in solving organizational problems and discover the secret sauce to leadership success and peak performance.
What you will learn from this episode:
- Discover how to practice lean thinking as a leader — which is deeply rooted in developing people both technically and cognitively using ‘The C4 Process’
- Learn how organizations of all types can create a leader-development system that defines critical leader behaviors
- Discover how personal behavior of leaders enhances influence and performance and how it is positively associated with being perceived as a leader
“The secret sauce to leadership success and peak performance is, love. You gotta love your people. You have to love what you do. You have to love yourself. And that mindset and that calibration around love, and I define love as a deliberate decision that you make to place the needs of someone else over your own.”

Key Takeaways From David Veech:
“Everybody talks about overcoming obstacles, you know, we all have obstacles. But you know, if we overcome an obstacle, you just left it behind. It's still there for somebody else. If you apply the right kind of problem solving, you can obliterate that thing and it never bothers anybody else again.”
“I want people to solve problems and not just bypass and not just push them off to somebody else. Solve it, get rid of it, obliterate it.”
“Leaders are charged with creating learning organizations and learning really flows from this problem solving thinking process.”
“If we apply a good, solid problem solving process with good, deep critical thinking, we can solve problems once, instead of having to solve them over and over and over and over again.”
“Leadership development is probably the biggest failure in preparing an organization for the future. If a leader also doesn't have a clear vision of where he or she wants to take the organization, it gets very hard to build those kinds of development plans for your subordinate leaders.”
