Safe Environment for Leaders

SEASON 10 The Learning Leader

Daily Leadership Tips and Discussions

Thank you for listening. I’m Paul Grau Jr., the host of this show, and I’m excited about Season 10 and hitting the ground running in 2025. We have over 100 episodes in Season 10, and we will continue with the focus of “The Learning Leader” and/or as we refer to it here at The CLC Team, “The Expanding Leader. Every episode will primarily focus on the lifelong journey of expanding your knowledge of leadership, and I will try to give you a daily takeaway to put what you learn into action. My goal is that you learn something that you can take immediate action on, and see how powerful expanding your leadership can be.

Let’s talk about how safe of an environment your work center is for the leader, and whether or not a leader can control how safe it is for themselves.

Grab the book The Art of Influence: Persuading Others Begins With You by Chris Widener. I highly recommend this book for you and your team to go through together and to talk about every paragraph because there are leadership lessons on every page!

 Have you ever wondered why it’s so difficult for a group of leaders to norm or be consistent? Well, it’s because every leader is unique and has their own style and way of leading their team. By coming together and forming a bond in your organizations leadership team, you can begin norming better than ever before. I use the DISC assessment with every client and team I work with and have found it to be a real game-changer for the entire team. This is certainly no different when you have a group of leaders together. In order for them to work together in unison, they have to begin by knowing each other very well. That’s where the DISC comes in, so I will mix the DISC behavioral styles in throughout this series.

I am a DISC Certified Trainer and Consultant and have worked with behavioral styles for over 20 years. I am certified through the John Maxwell Leadership Team and have worked with hundreds of teams.
