We will talk about some expectations leaders place upon themselves, based in schemas handed down about leadership and how to tease out whether those messages fit today's work landscape.

For example, some of the unhelpful messages might be that a leader is in charge, controls the direction of the organization, and knows what to do next (like steering a large ship). In taking a more humble approach, a leader can recognize their strengths and fallibilities. They can uplift the team of experts around them to respond to the uncertain future by nurturing social connection, creativity, and a sense of belonging (which is more helpful in a whitewater rafting environment like we are in today). This can only happen if the leader first understands how societal messages have shaped their perspective and how to adjust for the needs of today's workforce. www.linkedin/in/patti-weiter ; www.pattiweiter.com#leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching #leadershipconsulting #leadingthroughuncertainty #societalmessages #humbleleadershipTune in for this empowering conversation at TalkRadio.nyc
