Job Search, Promotion, and Career Clarity: The Mid-Career GPS Podcast 226: Three Tips to Effectively Lead in a Post-Pandemic Era with Darrell “Coach D” Andrews
How you lead and how you SHOW UP as a leader makes or breaks your team?
Let’s face it: they either love working with you and for you, or they don’t.
And as my guest today points out, the people you led before the pandemic are not the same people today.
I'm joined by Darrell Andrews, better known as “Coach D” who is here to talk to us about how leaders need to lead in this post-pandemic era. Darrell shares three powerful strategies to help you lead more effectively and impactfully that will help you grow your leadership presence, build better working relationships with people on your team, and help you and your organization retain great talent.
The conversation takes us through the necessity of realigning our core values and the power of emotional intelligence, sharing strategies that promise to enhance your leadership and deepen team connections.
We discuss the delicate art of personalized leadership—a cue taken from sports legends like John Wooden—emphasizing the value of understanding individual team members for cultivating loyalty and driving success. The dialogue traverses the evolution from organizational commitment to personal growth, highlighting the importance of crafting a leadership style that is as unique as the team you lead.
The episode concludes with a discussion on the subtle power of personal connections in fostering loyalty within teams, even as simple as virtual coffee chats about life beyond work. We share insights from influential thinkers, emphasizing the resilience found in a meaningful career path.
