People-Centric Leadership: The Key to Building Stronger Teams
In this episode, we discuss the multifaceted nature of knowing your people and how it can transform your leadership dynamics. Brian shares a powerful example of an executive leader who demonstrates people-centric leadership with a remarkable depth of knowledge about the personal and professional life of her team to motivate, inspire, develop, and build trust among them. We discuss this example and then explore the correlation between a leader’s self-awareness and ability to truly know and connect with others. We also cover how one can gauge their own self-awareness levels and what markers might indicate some level of a person’s understanding of themselves, and how individuals often possess valuable life lessons and strategies within themselves. Enjoy!

As you listen, we encourage you to reflect on your own experiences and the lessons that you’ve learned along the way.

It’s also about being ready.
In this episode, we discuss three components leaders need to level up. We invite you to consider what you must do now to show up, grow up and pro up. Enjoy!
