Episode notes

It is crucial for leaders to resist the urge to constantly add value to the ideas of their team members. When leaders turn suggestions into orders, it reduces the team's commitment and ownership. Leaders should empower their team by listening, making thoughtful decisions, and assessing if their input is truly necessary.

My guest today is Marshall Goldsmith, one of the world’s leading executive coaches.

We discuss the surprising lessons he’s learned coaching some of the best CEOs in the world, where confidence comes from, common mistakes leaders make, why changing behavior is easier than changing perception, how to change others’ perceptions when you change your behavior, the three words that kill any conversation, the relationship between intensity and consistency, and so much more.
