“What are the key strategies for effective leadership in today's volatile and complex world?”
“Why do highly skilled individual contributors often struggle when transitioning into leadership roles?”
“How can I adopt an adaptable and flexible leadership style to navigate uncertain situations?”
… if you ever said those phrases out loud, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I interview Brett Campbell, a former military officer, pastor, and current corporate trainer with Dale Carnegie. Listeners will gain insight into Brett’s leadership development and team-building approach.
Key Takeaways:
Relationships are crucial to effective leadership. As Brett notes, "The role of relationships, I think, is inextricably linked to leadership." Leaders must prioritize building healthy and effective relationships with their team members.
Servant leadership is a powerful approach. By focusing on serving and developing their team members, leaders can create a more motivated and committed team. As Brett explains, "The benefit of serving leadership to the team is that that team is...going to know that their leader is committed to them, that their leader has their best interests at heart."
Resiliency and effort are key traits for leaders. Finding one's purpose and achieving goals requires effort and perseverance. Leaders must also be resilient during challenging times and be willing to bounce back from failure.
