Leadership isn't always about setting big picture strategy and chairing Town Hall meetings: it's also about taking leadership micro-steps and getting the basics right.
In today’s episode, we are talking about the importance of both integrity and self- awareness for leaders.
We are talking about:
- Assessing your strengths and weaknesses
- Being curious and actively asking for feedback
- Reviewing your impact on other people
- Challenging bias - both your own and from others
- Championing the fair treatment of everyone
- And behavioural consistency to build trust... and so much more!
Something Rebecca said today:
"Bias is like looking at the world through a spyglass; once you remove the spyglass, you suddenly see the world differently. As a leader, it's critical to be regularly reviewing how you're seeing and doing things. What is your impact on others? Are you behaving consistently? Are you building, or eroding trust? These are all fundamental questions to be asking yourself every day." (Rebecca Allen, host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)
