As leaders, we must evolve with the world around us, or we risk being left behind. In this episode of the Transform Your Workplace podcast, we dive into a discussion about leading well in an ever-changing workplace. Hear from Michelle Ray — author, speaker, and entrepreneur — about her new book, Leading in Real Time, and get tips about how to embrace change as you lead your team.
TAKEAWAYS
- If we want to see success in our businesses, our teams, and our own professional lives, we can’t lead in the same way we did even two or three years ago.
- Leaders must be transparent and acknowledge the feelings and passions that their employees express.
- Positioning yourself for success means connecting with your people, listening to them, and being open to what they have to say.
- If you can demonstrate to your people that the part they play has relevance and meaning, then they feel good about making a contribution and, consequently, good about themselves.
- Leaders must build their credibility so that their people see them as genuine, trustworthy, and honorable.
