Stephanie Coontz: My father taught me, through this green and clean process, to take responsibility. He believed in me, had more confidence in me than i had in myself. And what that did to me, how that inspired me. I wanted to rise to the occasion and perform better. That's a fundamental paradime of how i see people. So my job as a leader is to unleash their potential for greatness,. not to try to contain or control them.
In this episode, I am joined by my friend Stephen M.R. Covey to talk about his new book, Trust & Inspire. You'll learn how the right leadership produces effortless results and relationships.
For fifty years we have heard that we need to move away from "command and control" leadership. But nobody has named what we should do instead. That's what Stephen M.R. Covey boldly and brilliantly does in this episode:Trust & Inspire. Isn't that what we want? Fifty years from now nobody will speak of command and control without saying 'trust and inspire'. It's going to become a part of our language, a part of what management itself means. As a great leader himself, Stephen will, in this episode, unleash the greatness within you.
You can get a copy of Trust and Inspire at your local bookstore.
