Leadership in Real Life

As an organizational leader, one of your primary objectives is to enable your people to reach goals set forth for your team and/or your company. But how do you get it done? Do you seek compliance from your team, wherein they do what they are told when you ask them? Or do you foster commitment to something greater? Which is more effective? IMPACT VP of Services Brie Rangel and IMPACT COO Chris Duprey discuss this in detail, in this episode of Leadership in Real Life.

Aspiring leaders and up-and-coming professionals are often coached that being nice at work is not undesirable as a means to garner respect and get ahead, it's a liability. Why is that? And is that even true? That's the topic of this month's discussion between IMPACT VP of Services Brie Rangel and IMPACT COO Chris Duprey, both of whom come to the table for this topic with their individual experiences and perspectives.

Today’s topic is fearless leadership. Specifically, what we’ve been led to believe it is, what it actually is, and what it never should be. Read Brie's Article on Fearless Leadership "In times of change, knowing that those you start with aren't necessarily the ones you grow with can be comforting if you’re an inbound leader who has to make hard decisions. That is, of course, until you consider that there may be a day when that is being said about you." Read Chris' Article on Fearless Leadership "As leaders, we need to set the tone for what fearless leadership means.  We can continue to drive a narrative that we shouldn’t show worry or weakness, or we can accept that this is wrong."
