Are You Leading From Inside A Fishbowl? | Leadership Espresso Shot 16

How can leaders overcome those typical assumptions that not only distort what realities their employees have to deal with, but what their employees really need to be successful in their efforts? In this edition of Leadership Espresso Shot, I share 4 questions leaders can use to gain greater clarity in their leadership.The inspiration for this latest episode of my leadership podcast actually came to me while I was on summer vacation with my family. As an avid reader, I like to bring along books that give me a mental break from the usual material I read either to prep for interviews with my guests on my podcast, for developing content for new leadership keynotes or corporate training events, or even to get inspiration for a new piece for my leadership blog.It was while enjoying one of these summer vacation reads that got my mind thinking about how often leaders confuse how they view their leadership as being the same as the experience their employees have under their leadership, a phenomenon I referred to in my first book as “Leadership Vertigo”.So what's this have to do with the picture of the fish bowl above? Well, you're just going to have to listen to this episode to find out, along with learning about these 4 powerful questions that will help improve your ability to succeed at leadership.Now if you aren't familiar with my Leadership Espresso Shots, as the name infers, these are short episodes that are designed to provide listeners with a strong dose of leadership insight to help improve the way you lead. And trust me when I say I expect this one to give many of you a lot of food for thought – if not also some actionable steps you should be taking on a regular basis to improve your leadership awareness levels.Now if you enjoy this episode, I'd appreciate it if you could share it with others.
