E48: Kevin Hancock: How to Find Your Voice and Encourage Others to Do the Same

Kevin Hancock is the CEO of Hancock Lumber Company, a six time recipient of the Best Places to Work in Maine Award. His upcoming book, The Seventh Power, One CEO’s Journey into the Business of Shared Leadership describes  how his leadership changed after the loss of his voice due to Spasmodic  Dysphonia during the height of the housing market crash in 2010. What  seemed like a tragedy, turned out to be a blessing as it showed Kevin  how to empower employees of all levels to lead themselves and take  responsibility for themselves and their work. With  only 1/3 of American workers describing their experience as engaging,  Kevin lays out the framework for a new leadership model designed to  strengthen the voices of others and drive workplace engagement to record  levels for the benefit of all.

In this episode, Kevin speaks to:

- Seeing yourself beyond your roles and titles in life

- How to create an employee-centered company culture where individuals feel empowered to share their true thoughts

- The importance of re-framing “limitations” and seeing them as “invitations”
