Is this Micro Episode of we explore Impactful Leadership
Timestamps:
☞ 01:18 You cannot expect to positively impact the people around you lead unless you have a willingness to go on a transformational journey first.
☞ 02:59 Leadership development is more about going out there, testing what works, experimenting and being creative.
☞ 03:38 Most of the things that distract from us being leaders stem from fear.
☞ 05:17 It’s only through continuous exploration and curiosity that you are going to become an impactful leader.
☞ 05:52 Any transformation you go through will be uncomfortable at some point, similar to going to the gym and getting yourself fit, but you get stronger.
☞ 06:20 You can only improve by being reflective, having a curious mindset and acting on feedback.
07:14 To create a psychologically safe space for people to do their best work, you need to be comfortable in your own skin.
08:07 If you hide away from decisions, if you don’t trust people, they will not trust you back, and may even copy your toxic behaviour.
09:27 Don’t be afraid to get stuff wrong or sometimes upset people because it will happen, but as long as you show up authentically and have a willingness to admit when you got it wrong, people will be much more forgiving than you think.
Thank you Frank, I totally agree with you.
Excellent job Peter. People thrive in environments of mutual respect and appreciation. Good leaders ensure their people feel they are worth their time and interest. Getting to know employees personally and professionally, praising them for things they do well, offering guidance, not criticism for things they don’t, and helping them to achieve their goals goes a long way in creating trust and loyalty. Trust takes time particularly when you are changing the status quo.
