[EP.97] How To Inspire Your People & Motivate Them To Take Action with Ashton Williams
How To Inspire Your People & Motivate Them To Take Action with Ashton Williams:
Whether you’re a leader or a team player…
A shared vision is a guiding star that illuminates the path to success…
And having confidence in your vision fuels your journey toward a grander horizon.
But if your team isn't on board, the road ahead might seem longer than it needs to be.
So how can you paint that vivid picture for them and inspire them to get moving?
Enter Ashton Williams of Slack.
She’s joining us to teach us the art of leadership - a journey that ignites momentum and drives high-powered teams forward.
Let’s go!

[31:01] - “I really believe, especially as leaders, trust is first. You have to earn the trust of your team to listen to you, hear you, and follow you, but you also have to give trust very freely.
