Episode Synopsis
Episode 68: The Adaptable Leader
1: Leaders Navigate Uncertainty
That’s what leaders are all about!
Stay composed and level-headed in the face of uncertainty.
Practical Technique: Stop and count to 10.
Don’t be hasty in the way that we react.
Don't ever say anything that you can't take back.
By being adaptable, you can act as a source of stability and reassurance.
BOOK: “Leading Up,” by Michael Useem.
Help those who lead you
As you learn to lead up, you are setting an example for others to follow
2: Leaders Continually Learn
You are never done learning!
Leaders who prioritize continuous learning aren't afraid to admit when they don't know something and actively seek knowledge and expertise from others.
Investing in yourself is the most important expense you will ever make.
It is YOUR responsibility to learn on an everyday basis.
POINT 3: Leaders Empower Teams
Unlock the collective creativity and problem-solving potential of their workforce.
Leads to more innovative solutions and provides a competitive edge in the market.
You cannot get people to change. PERIOD. Change the way that you encourage and motivate people.
BOOK: “How to Win Friends and Influence People”, by Dale Carnegie
People are only going to do what they want to do.
It’s our job to help people execute for their good and the organization
“You manage things, but you lead people.” Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper
MO’s Final Thoughts
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus Said that the only constant is change. Blessed are the flexible for they will not be broken. My Hope is that you become that kind of leader. That nothing can stop you from going forward and getting better, but that you take the hits, and you keep on rolling.
