Episode Highlights

How Rich Johnson Started in Leadership and Team Building

• Rich’s father was a manager in a parcel delivery firm when he was growing up while his mother worked in a retail chain after going to an accounting school.
• He was a shy kid and got bullied in school. But he eventually overcame it and matured over it.
• After a while, he decided to join the military, go outside his hometown, and see the world for himself.
• He was drafted and went through the military’s basic training. Because of the environment he was in in the military, he came out of his shell more and more. There he realized he wanted to be a part of a team and be a team player.
• He added that if you’re not a team player, you won’t survive. Being part of a team is a huge deal because you know you are always covered.

Challenges in Team Building

• According to Rich, the military basic training is a gradual process. There is a science behind it if you look at it in the psychological way. 
• Physical training is difficult because it aims to extend your physical capacity to its limit, which is helpful because it trains your discipline, grit, and motivation.
• One of the challenges he experienced during the military training was relating to senior officers. Because of the age gap between him and his fellow trainees and the officers in rank, he had a difficult time collaborating with them.
• Another challenge he faced is the misconception that he and the public have about the rigid hierarchy in the military, which could hamper team building and leadership. That is one thing he wants to correct and put a light into to promote public awareness about the military.

Two Powerful Quotes

“Be objective as much as possible. Get someone to give you a second opinion. Look at things from another perspective. Then boil down what you want to do in simple terms.”

“As a team player and good leader, you must keep all the people that started the business with you. Keep them all. Give them the right skill sets. Give them confidence.”
