*Holiday Replay* - Build Your Leadership Support Network

The Leadwell Podcast

Myself and the Leadwell Team want to wish you all the happiest of holidays. We pray that you had a merry Christmas, and for a happy new year. Thank you so much for spending another year with us on your leadership journey. Please enjoy this holiday replay of our most listened to and viewed episode, with an extra message from me.
The people you need in your leadership network are an important part of being a successful servant leader, and my new book dedicates a section to going even deeper into this concept.
---------------------------
Who says leaders must walk their path in solitude? This episode shatters that myth, revealing how a thriving support network can transform the leadership journey from an onerous quest to a shared adventure. We unpack the vital connections every leader should forge, detailing the distinct roles each one plays. Whether it's a coach for guided development, a mentor brimming with wisdom, a steadfast friend offering life's balance, an enthusiastic cheerleader, or a partner holding you accountable—these relationships are the cornerstone of successful leadership. Elevate your command and sidestep the isolation often associated with it, as we reveal how to engage with these key figures effectively.
Feel your leadership skills could use a tune-up? You're not alone. We delve into the nuances distinguishing a coach from a mentor, illustrating how these strategic alliances can bolster both your personal and professional trajectories. Discover how to pinpoint mentors aligned with your ambitions, the importance of friendships beyond the workplace, and why a diverse personal council benefits your leadership style. I'll guide you through an exercise to identify potential members for your leadership circle and share a sneak peek into my upcoming book with an invaluable resource for those aiming to refine their servant leadership. Ready to build a robust network that propels you into the new year with confidence? Let's get started.
