Are you striving to be a better leader but unsure where to focus your efforts? Most leaders don’t really understand the underlying, fundamental ACTION that constitutes leadership, and so they don’t know where to focus their time and attention!   Leading effectively isn't really about giving orders or setting goals, it's about mastering the art of conversation and building relationships. Great leaders understand how their ability to converse literally creates the Network of Conversations and Relationships that constitute their teams and their entire organization!   In this episode, I'm diving deep into the essence of leadership, focusing on the foundational skills that every leader needs. I'll link those back to the two fundamental Ontological models that underpin effective leadership: the Observer-Action-Results Model and the Language-Emotion-Body Model.    We'll also dissect the five primary leadership conversations great leaders must know WHEN and HOW to have —Orientation, Relationship, Innovation, implementation or Execution, and Learning. Being agile enough to have each of these conversations when the situation calls for it separates average leaders from great leaders.    Join me as I share these insights and examples of what works and doesn’t work, helping you to not only lead but also thrive in your leadership journey.    Whether you're a seasoned executive or stepping into your first managerial role, this episode will equip you with the tools to lead with confidence and authenticity.   - Mark Let’s connect: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markrobertsonpcc Email: mark@coachmark.com  Website: www.coachmark.com
