In this episode, we take a deep dive into how to best motivate your team. Having recently joined the University of Leeds as Head of Conferences and Events, Sam shares with us what he has learned from the managers he has worked with over the years and his own unique approach to leadership. During this thought-provoking conversation, we discuss different leadership styles and why there is no right and wrong.
KEY TAKEAWAY
“Leadership is complex, there's no one size fits all. Different people, different situations require different styles of leadership. Leadership is about influencing others; it's about bringing people on a journey.”
