In this episode, Bonny and Nora turn the People vs. Purpose vs. Profit conversation on its head, reframing it through the lens of your leadership mindset. They dive into three common leadership styles: command-and-control, servant leadership, and human-centric leadership. Spoiler! It’s not about choosing one. It’s about knowing when to use each, and why your leadership mindset might be the ultimate game-changer.
Key Takeaways:
➡️ Mindset first, strategy second. Before refining your business plan, examine how you lead as it could be the real blocker.
➡️ Sync your mindset and strategy. When your mindset and strategy reinforce each other, this is where the magic happens to unlock culture, growth, and results.
➡️ Flex your leadership style. Great leaders adapt. They command when needed, serve with purpose, and center humans always.
➡️ Balance empathy with accountability. Being human-centered doesn’t mean being soft, it means pushing people and supporting them.
