In today's episode, Nathan Freeburg and Brian Schubring discuss the importance of leaders knowing their people. They emphasize the significance of understanding individuals in their personal, emotional, and relational contexts. They share an example of an executive leader who demonstrated deep knowledge of her team members, which allowed her to motivate, inspire, and develop them effectively. The discussion highlights the correlation between a leader's self-awareness and their ability to know and connect with others. It emphasizes intentionality, time, and adaptability in the process of knowing people, while discouraging forced interactions.REFLECTION QUESTIONS
