In this episode, Mel dives deep into these recent podcast episodes:
E057 Managing Change & Transformation with Gareth Duffin
E058 Let Nature be Your Compass with Rosie Tomkins
E059 The Importance of Onboarding with Hayley Mintern
E060 Motivating Your Team with Sam Glenister-Batey
E061 Conversation Not Communication with Susan Heaton-Wright
Reflecting on the final words of wisdom, shared by each of her guests, Mel considers how their insight might help people on their leadership journey:
Gareth encouraged us to blame the process not the person when something goes wrong.
Rosie inspired us to have more confidence and belief in ourselves by looking for internal validation, recognising that we have everything we need inside of us.
Hayley chose to leave us with the words of James Baldwin, “Not everything that is faced can be changed but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
Sam offered us his perspective that as leaders we should measure ourselves on the achievements of our team rather than our own work.
Susan reminded us that we are all unique. We all have a voice and should make sure that we let other people know about our opinions, ideas, and values because we will add to the conversation.
KEY TAKEAWAY
“As leaders, we need to look inwards to give ourselves, the confidence to take responsibility, rather than looking to blame, to face in to challenges so that we can affect change, to look and think, ‘How can I best serve my team? How can I best support them?’ And how can I ensure that I'm having conversations with people, rather than just communicating with them?”
