Listen "#53 Leading People, with Siimon Reynolds"
Episode Synopsis
Unless you have the core intention to be a learner, to increase your skill base, then your chances of doing it coincidentally are small.
I was out of my depth for a time and had to adjust constantly. But then you adapt, that's the first part of it. And then the second part is intention to get better.
I was not used to leading a team. I was not used to the politics of an organization.
There was definitely friction as I moved towards my mission, which was the opposite of what they wanted to do.
Leadership is the ability to build relationships to achieve our goals together with compassion, accountability.
Leadership is putting relationships first. Most people think it's intelligent to put results first.
