In this episode, we connect with Scott Greenberg, an acclaimed speaker, author on leadership and performance and explore the intricate dynamics of managing teams and self-leadership. Throughout our conversation, Scott shares the critical elements that differentiate mediocre leaders from great ones, outlining on how you can inspire genuine commitment and enthusiasm in your team.

Scott starts by breaking down what both the hard and soft needs of your team members are. He explains that while meeting hard needs—such as providing fair salaries and benefits—is essential, effective leaders go way beyond these basics. You also must cater to the soft needs: the emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects that drive your team's engagement and loyalty. By addressing these deeper needs, your leadership will foster a work environment where your employees feel valued and motivated to contribute their best efforts.

You’ve heard about the concept of servant leadership and we are breaking it down in this episode. Scott challenges the traditional top-down leadership model by proposing that the most successful leaders are those who see their role as serving their team. This approach involves providing support, resources, and guidance needed for your team members to thrive.

Scott also explores the importance of honest self-awareness and continual personal development. He shares that great leaders are always seeking ways to improve, regardless of their current level of success.

For the spiritual component of the podcast we explore the role of vulnerability in leadership. Scott explains how being open about your fears, mistakes, and uncertainties can actually strengthen your connection with their team. Mindset is another cornerstone of Scott’s leadership philosophy. He talks about the importance of managing one’s own thoughts and emotions to stay calm and focused, even under pressure. Scott shares practical strategies for cultivating a resilient mindset, from journaling and reflective practices to simple acts of self-care, like enjoying a favorite treat - like ice cream!

This episode will find yourself rethinking your approach to leadership and we hope you are inspired to implement these transformative strategies. After the conversation, be sure to explore more of Scott’s work by visiting his website, ScottGreenberg.com.
