Listen "UYL2310 -- To Succeed, Fly in V-Formation"
Episode Synopsis
Leadership Succeeds by Getting These V's Right
As a youngster, I stared many a time at flocks of geese flying high overhead during migration season. Every goose was committed for the long haul.
Later in life, I came to see leadership -- particularly strategic leadership -- as a long-haul enterprise. That reminded me of those geese and their characteristic V-formation.
As I toyed with the idea of flying in V-formation, I came to realize that effectiveness at long-haul leadership depends on how well you utilize a cluster of priorities whose names all begin with the letter V. Names like Vision and Values. But other less obvious ones, as well.
I take up some of those words in this podcast, which encapsulates ideas which I have shared in keynotes and trainings for over 20 years. Vision and values, as you might expect, are pivotal elements of this presentation. But so are some other "V" words you might not have thought of. This episode is sure to give you new perspectives on your leadership role.
