An F4 tornado ripped through my community last month. As someone who is called to develop leaders, I cannot ignore the leadership lesson emerging from my processing of the entire event.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing two specific potential “disasters” many organizations are being warned about right now. What is interesting is that although the warnings are being sent out, few are working on or preparing to mitigate the risk. My fear is that you may hear the warnings, but not heed the warnings…just as I did regarding the tornado in December. I don’t want you to find yourself white-knuckling your past success as unstoppable destruction happens among your organization.
I’m wishing you improved focus and better results as you move into 2022! #LevelUp

Richard Lummis is on assignment this week so I am pleased to host Alyson Van Hooser. Alyson is passionate about leadership. She has her own consulting practice on leadership as well as her own podcast on leadership. She recently wrote an article on leadership lessons from Grey’s Anatomy and I asked to come on 12 O’Clock High to expound on some of her thoughts. Highlights of this podcast include:
- Why did Alyson write the article on Grey’s Anatomy Leadership Lessons?
- How does Alyson see useful leadership lessons from movies, books and TV?
- If you stumble as a leader, why is it important to get back up?
- When looking for leadership opportunities, why should you not take the first opportunity?
- Why is it important to push through hard things and how does someone do so?
- Why did you end your article with “It’s not about Jo, it’s about you”?

Alyson Van Hooser is a self-described ‘old school millennial’. From being on her own from age 13, to putting herself through college, to leadership positions in the retail and finance industries, Alyson has worked hard to achieve her goals. She now works with Van Hooser Associates, where she has to opportunity to dedicate herself to her passion for leadership development.
Listen to the Episode:
Leadership is Twofold
Alyson says that leadership is twofold: you lead yourself and you can lead others. The first step in leadership is personal development, she says. She learned early on in life that if she wanted to be successful, she had to first lead herself. As she got older, the leaders in her life helped her develop into a successful person. It was because they chose to serve her, she says, that she listened and learned and followed them where they wanted her to go. Great leaders are able to connect and relate to their people. When you have influence over your people, you can get the results you want from them.
Listening is Essential
Tom admires Alyson’s ability to really listen to others. He asks her how she developed this great skill. She describes how, from her childhood, she paid attention to her role models. You’re not going to learn if you’re not willing to listen, she emphasizes. She focuses on the little things that people say that give insight into who they are, what they want, and what motivates them. As a leader, that’s the information you have to know if you’re going to get better results out of your team, she says.
Leadership Is Influence
You need to have influence if you want people to follow you. In fact, leadership is influence. The only way to get that influence is to serve others. Leadership, Alyson says, is about taking the superior position, which is not about you being on top, but rather putting everyone else before yourself.
Training Millennials
Leaders need to serve their Millennial and Gen Z employees by giving them educational opportunities to help them become valuable members of the team. Despite how unfavorably mass media has portrayed Millennials, they bring many skills to the table, and can provide value that older generations may not be able to. If you want the best from them however, you have to give them the opportunity to share their ideas without fear of repercussions. Honor their desire to make a difference, to add value to the team, Alyson says. When she trains Millennials, she teaches them that their responsibility is to be a leader for themselves, to be professional and hold themselves to a high standard. This is necessary to get buy in from the people above and below you, she says. Stay true to who you are, but adapt in order to relate to people and gain influence with people all across the organization.

In this new show on the Compliance Podcast Network, Alyson Van Hooser is taking her breadth of experience – personal and professional – to explore and develop leaders across all industries.
The people who step up and take their place are the ones who will make the biggest change in the world. Alyson had to figure out a lot on her own as she was growing up, and that has inspired a passion for taking ownership of her own life and helping others do the same. When you take control of your own circumstances, you can change your reality to match your dreams.
Leadership comes from influence – and influence can go in all directions. Ultimately, the choice is whether or not you want to be a leader who makes incredible things happen. Alyson believes that the influence critical to leadership comes from serving people. Stories about the greatest leaders people have ever had have always been about those who wanted to serve others. Those stories and the lessons we learn from them are the focus of this podcast.
