Episode notes
Lead From Your Natural Strengths
- Study your top strengths and build your leadership around them for ease, authenticity, and sustainability.
- Lean into what comes naturally to avoid exhaustion and gain better results.
No Universal Leader Profile
- There is no single ideal top five for leaders; multiple pathways lead to effective leadership.
- Owning your talents produces more ROI than pretending to be someone else.
Use Vulnerability To Mobilize Teams
- Be vulnerable and transparent when you cannot meet every immediate need; call out what can and cannot be done now.
- Invite the team to help so you gain relatability and stronger followership.
