Show Notes

Episode highlights…

  • Leadership is relationships
  • Understanding vulnerability based trust (not predictability)
  • What does it mean to honor the differences between us (not just understand them)
  • Understanding the true nature of “people problems” based upon our differences
  • Training alone will not solve your “people problems”
  • How others experience your leadership is more important than how you see yourself
  • If you have a “people problem,” it means there's a problem with process, a problem with leadership, a problem with communication
  • Improving your leadership means starting with yourself
  • The importance of understanding your biases and your triggers
  • Emotional intelligence: 1. Know your style 2. Choose your actions based upon that knowing; 3. Know and honor other styles 4. Adapt your behavior for mutual benefit
  • The benefits of seeing improvement as part of an ongoing performance discussion (not a moment in time such as annual reviews)
  • Leaders must be willing to explore the outcomes that their actions are creating
  • Sixty percent (60%) of people’s professional success is based upon their emotional intelligence
  • Improved leadership is good for your people and good for the organization’s bottom line
  • Why emotional intelligence is the foundation of solving your “people problems”
  • Leadership is not about you (it’s about others)
