Unlabeled Leadership 156: Michael Teape Helps You Connect to What’s Needed
I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 156, Michael Teape talks about a life-changing moment that helped him overcome imposter syndrome and receive feedback in a new way. Michael then talks about how a CEO helped his company think differently during the COVID disruption. That led to a story about how an electrical company handled freezing telegraph lines that started by thinking about bears and honey. Next, Michael advises us to use three questions to guide one-to-one conversations with direct reports.
