Episode 60 - Thriving in Leadership in the Workplace

• Build trust within your team.

Trust starts by getting to know each team member on an individual level.

• Take the time to understand their strengths, challenges, and personal aspirations.
• Show genuine interest in their lives outside of work.

1. Open and Transparent Communication:

• You need to build your brand.
• You need to help your people build their brands.

This will build trust because they know that you want the very best for them.

ACTION POINTS:

• Ask each of your team members what they want from their time at the company, and what they want from you as a leader.
• If another opportunity comes along for one of the team members, you need to be the first one to tell them that they need to go for it.

The best leaders are trying to work their people out of the job.

When team members feel that their growth is supported, they become more engaged and motivated to contribute their best work.

• Help others use personal strengths for team success.

• It is crucial to create a culture where knowledge-sharing and collaboration are encouraged.

BOOK: “They Call Me Coach” by John Wooden.

• "The star of the team is the team. 'We' supercedes 'me'.”

Your job is to do your very best and help your team do the same.

MO’s Final Thoughts:

I'd like to leave our listeners with one final thought: leadership is not about a title; it's about how you inspire and empower those around you.
