Listen "5. Letting Time and Place Be Your Guide: A Decision Making Model for Effective Leadership in Different Situations"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Both/And, Bessi Graham explores the concept of "time and place" and why leaders must adapt and use a time and place approach as their decision making model to make effective decisions. As leaders, our ability to adapt to different situations is crucial. It also helps us determine when and where to bring different aspects of ourselves to work. Often, leaders fail to take a time and place approach, leading to misreading situations, alienating people, and being perceived as unapproachable. Time and place can guide leaders to weigh options and make decisions that are relevant for a particular context. Knowing what to prioritize, ignore, and how to balance competing needs is part of taking a particular context into account. This approach leads to effective decision-making instead of generic off-the-shelf answers forced to fit every situation. A rigid, one-dimensional approach to leadership is ineffective, and adaptability is essential. Also in this episode: How can time and place help leaders?
