Over the course of delivering numerous leadership keynotes and workshops this past year, it’s been interesting to see what themes leaders are looking for answers or guidance on. On a personal note, it’s also been gratifying to return once again to delivering these sessions in person and not just virtually. After all, there’s nothing more rewarding than being in a room full of leaders and watching as those light bulbs go off as they now realize what they need to do differently to address a current issue or problem. One of the common issues I’ve been asked to speak on is how to both re-engage employees and re-ignite team camaraderie after two long years of working apart. In one of the keynotes I gave in person back in March, I shared a personal story that illustrated what leaders need to do to inspire their employees to bring their very best to work every day. Seeing the enthusiastic reactions of the leaders in attendance as I shared this story – not to mention hearing from many of them afterwards about how much this story resonated with them – I made a note that it might make for a good story to share with my podcast audience as well. So in this Leadership Espresso Shot, you’ll hear about one of the best leaders I ever worked for, what he taught me about understanding your real potential, and what leaders need to do to inspire the best in those they lead. His leadership example demonstrates that while this is a simple approach, it has a powerful impact on helping to inspire the best in others. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4OT0wYCTLYbPWRDJ22AEH2?si=RolBNscFRzKs1j9Z0a4pug
