Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach and I share the last of 4 episodes of our Next Level Leader Series today. In this episode we speak to the power and impact of being a courageous leader, and revisit key points of the series.
In today’s episode, we discuss:
Being decisive and courageous is imperative to good leadership.
Take the time to draw clear lines for your business and your team. Creating these boundaries ahead of moments under pressure will give security in the firm lines created.
Show empathy and demonstrate compassion. This allows others to see you not as better, but as different. Being true to who you are takes courage.
Revisiting Episode 1: Practice self awareness. The level of success you achieve is directly connected to your level of self-awareness.
Revisiting Episode 2: Understand the roles you played as a child. Self-reflection is crucial to understanding and improving one’s performance.
Revisiting Episode 3: To be a standout, highly respected leader today you must be both compassionate AND strong, NOT compassionate OR strong.
