Listen "The Enabling Leader - a Conversation with Marcus van Vugt of Price Waterhouse Coopers"
Episode Synopsis
Marcus is passionate about ensuring that everyone knows how they contribute to individual and team success, whatever that may look like through his commitment to enabling leadership.
Here are some golden nuggets I gleaned from our conversation:-
More than your clients, it’s important to understand what your clients’ clients need
I don’t know what everybody does to the same degree that they do – this is why enablement is so important
What to do when people look at you expecting you to tell them what to do!
Give people a WHY – help them understand the context in which they operate
Test assumptions – it’s not fair to expect people to operate at a certain level – ask questions – seek first to understand
How to slow down your thinking and learn to appreciate silence as a leader
How as a leader you can use silence to everyone’s advantage
PWC’s higher Apprenticeship program
Accountability breeds empowerment
As a leader, own your problems and issues
Book – L David Marquet – Turn the Ship around – A true story of building leaders by breaking the rules
