Black Wall Street Today with Blair Durham

Leadership Adaptability and Efficacy: Dr. Pat emphasizes the importance of adaptability for leaders, highlighting awareness, diligence, accommodation, proficiency, and transience as key elements He introduces the Leader Efficacy Model, a quadrant-based approach to mentoring and growing leaders within a business.Enjoy the final section of Dr. Pat's presentation at the Black BRAND Summit, focusing on leadership and business acumen. He emphasizes the importance of adaptability, awareness, diligence, proficiency, and being transient for leaders. Dr. Pat introduces his Leader Efficacy Model, which categorizes individuals into potentials, promoters, producers, and performers, providing guidance on how to nurture and deploy talent within an organization. He further addresses cultivating essential leadership qualities like accountability and advocates for training to empower teams. Dr. Pat underscores the importance of knowing both your own and your employees' strengths and weaknesses, as well as the need to cultivate core values in a company through training and by leading by example. The presentation concludes with a question-and-answer session that explores strategies for developing leaders, properly placing employees, and addressing underperformance.Key aspects of Dr. Pat's leadership insights include:Adaptability: Every leader needs to adapt by being aware, diligent, and accommodating. Awareness: Leaders should know their brand's position in the marketplace, similar to how stockbrokers monitor market happenings. Diligence: Diligence drives passion and enables leaders to excel, requiring accommodation for circumstances and individual strengths and shortcomings. Leader Efficacy Model: This model involves four quadrants: potentials (identify, design a path, and develop), promoters (retain and restore), producers (engage and empower), and performers (develop, direct, and deploy).... Leaders should aim to have these four types of people on their team to scale their business.Accountability: Dr. Pat stresses that leaders must be accountable to themselves and their teams, taking responsibility for their actions to enhance credibility4.Individual Leadership Development Plan: Every leader needs a plan to attain their vision alongside an accountability partner. Great leaders understand their weaknesses, empowering strengths and delegating challenges.The 10/80/10 Modification of the Pareto Principle: The top 10% are the performers making things happen, the 80% are just there riding the wave, and the bottom 10% are not working out. Give the bottom 10% a mutually agreed upon time with a training process to attain specific milestones and goals.Hiring and Placement: Use assessments like DiSC to align individuals with appropriate roles based on their strengths. If someone is not performing, consider if they are in the proper position and provide training to help them excel.Leading by Example: A leader's core values and how he leads himself will determine how the organization is led.Interested in sponsoring the podcast?

Blair Durham of Black BRAND discusses Legacy Day and the organization's mission to narrow the racial wealth gap. The organization is using a 150-year plan driven by data and partnerships with institutions like Virginia Tech to address key pillars that influence wealth. These pillars include health, education, media, technology, policy, justice, and affordable housing. Durham emphasizes the importance of community-driven efforts, historical awareness, and the need to actively shape a positive future for the Black community through intentional action and legacy building. Black BRAND's work centers around Business Research, Analytics, Networking, and Development to promote Black economic empowerment.Here are ten important points and quotes from Blair Durham's talk:Black Brand's name is an acronym that stands for business research and analytics networking and development.Black Brand has been developing a 150-year plan in partnership with Virginia Tech to build a data dashboard1. This plan aims to narrow the racial wealth gap by connecting all the pillars that inform wealth1.•A significant part of the 150-year plan focuses on people and values, including social determinants of health and food access.Less than 1% of venture capital goes to the Black community, which is related to the lack of new technologies coming from the Black community due to limited access to STEM resources1.•Policy and justice are important pillars, with issues like traffic stops and the impact of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs being considered1. Durham asks whether the last 65 years of DEI programs actually translated to more wealth in the Black community, and notes that most data says no1.•According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, housing is considered affordable if it costs less than 30% of gross income.Durham notes that the affordable housing crisis disproportionately affects the Black community."If it's not a grassroots effort, it's likely not going to happen"1. Durham emphasizes the importance of community involvement to achieve progress.The Sankofa logo is central to Black Brand's identity, symbolizing the importance of looking back to the past to inform the future1. "It is not taboo to go back and fetch what you've forgotten," Durham says, noting that this includes ancient, recent, and personal history.Durham journals to remember the past, and encourages everyone to speak legacy into young people, because it is their responsibility to teach them who they are.... Durham states that "the most important priority for the black community is the black community, not a particular political party".Interested in sponsoring the podcast?
