99. Nuances of Leadership

99. Nuances of Leadership

Today’s episode is focused on the nuances of leadership. There are foundational concepts in leadership that you can learn in a class, but then there is the real-world application of leadership that you need to manage. Situations that don’t happen very often will occur. They can be extremely impactful and need to be addressed or have bigger ramifications. It takes courage and the ability to admit when you are wrong. It means you have to own what happens even if you personally had nothing to do with it, but you own the team, and a mistake was made. Visibility happens in good moments, but it can also be important to be visible in the best way during challenging moments too.

In this episode:

  • The foundational skills of leadership vs the reality.
  • Leading a team seems straightforward at first…
  • Internal vs external team members need to be led differently.
  • Handling difficult situations when things don’t go well.
  • Getting comfortable saying “I don’t know.”
  • Taking a coaching approach with your team.
  • Preparing your team for their next leadership opportunity.
