Listen "Role Modeling"
Episode Synopsis
No amount of training will help your team grow as much as what you show them.
Who you are as a leader — how you make decisions, who you consider when making them, how you approach problems, how you interact with other people — all of these things are more powerful teaching tools than any content or training outline.
Today on the podcast, we’re talking about the greatest teaching and mentoring tool there is: role modeling.
I recently had the joy of working with a group of exceptional role models, and in working with them, developed a simple yet powerful definition that I’m excited to share with you.
Thanks for listening.
