Samhandling fjernt og nært, medarbeiderskap og ledelse i det hybride kontorlandskapet Tillitsbasert ledelse ble nevnt som en kritisk suksessfaktor for fusjonering av flere direktorat i etableringen av HK-dir. Er det faktisk slik at graden av tillit mellom ledere og medarbeidere er et kritisk suksesskriterie både ved etablering av en ny virksomhet, men også i den videre utviklingen? Vi ba Agenda Kaupang bistå oss i vurderingen, og i første episode av vår podkast får du høre mer om tillitsbasert ledelse. Kjersti Hatlevoll og Johan Lindgård arbeider som konsulenter i Agenda Kaupang. De har mange års arbeidserfaring med leder- og medarbeiderutvikling, og mennesker som ønsker å utvikle seg i organisasjoner. Tillitsbasert ledelse er i denne sammenhengen et viktig tema. Katrine Utgård jobber som seniorrådgiver i Direktoratet for høyere utdanning og kompetanse, og har tidligere flere års erfaring som hovedverneombud i endringstider.  Refleksjonsoppgaver Agenda Kaupang har lagt til rette for at du kan reflektere videre over tillitsbasert ledelse, enten alene eller sammen med kollegaer. Her finner du refleksjonsoppgavene. Tekstlig alternativ Tekstlig alternativ til denne podkast-episoden Om Samhandling fjernt og nært, medarbeiderskap og ledelse i det hybride kontorlandskapet Direktoratet for høyere utdanning og kompetanse (HK-dir) ble opprettet i 2021, etter en større fusjonsprosess. Direktoratet er nå fordelt med kontor på 4 ulike lokasjoner. Medarbeidere og ledere er mer eller mindre delvis spredt på flere av disse lokasjonene. Noen har også hjemmekontor en eller flere dager i uka. Vi er altså et relativt nytt direktorat med en ny hybrid kontorhverdag. Det var behov for en felles forståelse av hvordan vi best kan jobbe sammen. HR og SU (Samarbeidsutvalget) tok dermed initiativet til å lage et opplegg for opplæring, med økonomisk støtte i form av kompetansemidler fra DFØ. Forutsetningen for å få midler fra DFØ var at det ble opprettet en partssammensatt gruppe som jobbet med prosjektet, og at innholdet ble delt med andre statlig virksomheter. Den partssammensatte gruppen i HK-dir har derfor produsert en podkast med totalt 4 episoder som du nå kan lytte til.  I de to første episodene har vi intervjuet konsulentselskapene Agenda Kaupang om tillitsbasert ledelse og selvledelse, og i de to siste episodene har vi intervjuet Brave Leadership om medarbeiderskap og mot. Alle temaene knyttes opp mot en hybrid arbeidshverdag.    

Samhandling fjernt og nært, medarbeiderskap og ledelse i det hybride kontorlandskapet I forrige episode snakket vi om tillit og i hvilken grad det kunne være av betydning i en hybrid arbeidshverdag. Det viser seg at selvledelse og tillitsbasert ledelse henger tett sammen. Vi ba også Agenda Kaupang dele sin kunnskap om selvledelse med oss. Kjersti Hatlevoll og Johan Lindgård arbeider som konsulenter i Agenda Kaupang. De har mange års arbeidserfaring med leder- og medarbeiderutvikling, og mennesker som ønsker å utvikle seg i organisasjoner. Selvledelse er i denne sammenhengen et viktig tema.

Samhandling fjernt og nært, medarbeiderskap og ledelse i det hybride kontorlandskapet Hva er egentlig medarbeiderskap, og hvordan påvirkes det av den hybride kontorhverdagen? Kan kultur for og praktisering av medarbeiderskap være av betydning for samhandling i virksomheten, og påvirkes omfanget av medarbeiderskap med graden av tilstedeværelse? Vi ba Brave Leadership bistå oss i vurderingen, og i denne episoden får du høre hva vi kom fram til. Anna Svanberg og Jannecke Bugge har opprettet og utviklet konsulentfirmaet Brave Leadership. De har mange års arbeidserfaring med leder- og medarbeiderutvikling i ulike virksomheter.  Medarbeiderskap er et sentralt tema for egenutvikling, og hvordan påvirkes graden av medarbeiderskap i en hybrid arbeidshverdag?

Samhandling fjernt og nært, medarbeiderskap og ledelse i det hybride kontorlandskapet Hvor viktig er mot for utøvelse av tillitsbasert ledelse, selvledelse og medarbeiderskap? Hva skal til for å endre eksisterende organisasjonskultur, eller egen adferd for å få en bedre arbeidshverdag, og har vi mot til å gjøre det? Brave Leadership er begeistret for Søren Kierkegaards sitat “Å våge er miste fotfestet for en stund. Å ikke våge er å miste seg selv”. Er det lettere eller vanskeligere å være modig i det hybride kontorlandskapet, og må en være modig for lykkes? Vi utfordret Brave Leadership til å diskutere dette i vår fjerde og oppsummerende podkastepisode. Anna Svanberg og Jannecke Bugge har opprettet og utviklet konsulentfirmaet Brave Leadership. De har begge jobbet mange år i ulike selskaper, blant andre AS3. De har mange års arbeidserfaring med leder- og medarbeiderutvikling og mennesker som ønsker å utvikle seg i organisasjoner.

Åh, for en deilig episode. Jeg følte meg varm om hjertet etter samtalen med Anna Svanberg, medgrunder av Brave Leadership.   Dette er en nydelig samtale om modig (selv-) ledelse. Om å tillate følelser, også dem som kjennes ubehagelige. Om empati vs sympati. Om Brene Brown, drama triangelet. Om det å være fanget i en rolle, offer rollen, angriper rollen eller redder rollen heller enn å fokusere på seg selv og se mulighetene tilgjengelig.    Om håpet og troen. Troen om at "Uansett hva som skjer, så lander jeg på beina". At vi hver dag kan øve oss på å stå i ubehaget og at vi slik gradvis gjør ubehag om til noe behagelig.    Les gjerne mer om Anna her: https://braveleadership.no/    Om Indre Bærekraft her: https://braveleadership.no/idgoslobravehub/  https://www.innerdevelopmentgoals.org/    Om Drama Triangelet: https://www.forbes.com/sites/remyblumenfeld/2018/12/07/how-to-transform-your-relationships-by-getting-creative/    Vår store heltinne og forsker på følelser som sårbarhet og skam, Brene Brown:  https://brenebrown.com/    Og om meg og podkasten og alt annet jeg driver med her: https://magefolelsen.com/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/therese-fallentin/    Episoden er redigert av Simon Lynau og meg selv.   Lag deg en god dag

In today's episode Judith Germain speaks to David Mcqueen about his approach to BRAVE and inclusive leadership, his new book, and how he engages in difficult conversations online. He emphasises resilience's collective nature, advising building support systems before crises. Judith agrees community strengthens us prior to needing aid, promoting proactivity over reactivity. David discusses leading complex discussions online through education versus attacks. He shares strategies for responding to trolls while focusing discussions on issues, not persons, to promote critical thinking. Key Takeaways Brave leadership requires courage, resilience, agility, vision, and ethics. These pillars allow leaders to make bold yet thoughtful decisions. Leadership is a dance where the leader adapts to the follower, not the other way around. Leaders must empathise and understand experiences they haven't lived. Build a personal advisory board for support, critiques, and amplification. Move from individualistic to collective leadership. Frame online discussions around data and critical thinking, not attacks. Seek teaching moments to create change. David McQueen is passionate about developing leaders. He is also an Angel investor, Mentor, Host of the BRAVE Leader podcast, a three times TEDx speaker and author. You can find out more about our guest and today's episode in this Maverick Paradox Magazine article here. --- Maverick leadership is all about thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo. It's about having the courage to take risks and the confidence to lead in a way that is authentic and genuine. But amplifying your influence as a leader isn't just about having a strong vision or a big personality. It's also about having the right leadership capability and being able to execute on your ideas and plans. The consequences of not having the right level of influence as a leader can be significant. Without the ability to inspire and motivate others, you may struggle to achieve your goals and make a real impact. How Influential Are you?

275 Staying In Alignment Despite Chaos and Negativity   Biases and skeptics exist in everything, however it's how we deal with this negativity that defines who we are and how we are going to grow. How we address these perceptions and skepticisms is what defines who we are as individuals.  In this episode Sarah Elkins and Crystal Whiteakre discuss how important it is to act with compassion and stay in alignment with your values even in the midst of chaos, or the perception of chaos.   Highlights How do you deal with Skeptics? Acknowledging that certain people won't give you the support you need and seeking it out. The perception of chaos in a room despite there being no chaos and working together to address perceptions using healthy communication.   Quotes “Just pause. Start there. And in that pause that should give you the space to tune into your awareness. So when you're tuning into your awareness, what are you aware of around you that's happening, what are you aware of that's happening within you, and how you are being impacted or activated in any way- Or excited. Whatever that looks like. And that third piece is compassion, so whatever comes next after that pause and after you tune into your awareness, whatever comes out after that needs to be done with compassion even if it's just for yourself.” “Give yourself compassion and do the same thing for other people.”    Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Where will you disrupt bias in your life? How can you do this work to understand what your values are and making sure you're in alignment with them with all of your actions and behaviors. Because as we talked about already throughout this podcast episode, if you are not acting within the values that you profess to have then you are not going to be satisfied with your relationships and you are going to find yourself not knowing why you're dissatisfied and unhappy in your life. So go for it, figure this out, jot down some words to describe how you want to be known, and start to make sure that whatever actions you're taking, the words you're using are actually going to demonstrate those words. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Crystal Whiteaker Crystal Whiteaker (pronouns: she/her) is an Inclusive Branding and Leadership Development and Consultant specializing in coaching and consulting for brands and leaders that care deeply about diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Job Interview Storytelling Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Ukens episode av HR-podden handler om mot. Hva innebærer det å være modig? Og er det egentlig nødvendig å være modig når du jobber med HR?  Helt klart, mener ukens gjest i HR-podden. Det å være modig handler om å lede med hjertet, med hele seg, og det er både viktig og vanskelig når du føler deg litt alene i HR-rollen. I 2022 etablerte Anna Svanberg og Jannecke Bugge selskapet BRAVE Leadership der deg fronter betydningen av å ha mer mot i næringslivet.  Jeg ble litt nysgjerrig på hva det innebærer å ha mot på jobben og om dette virkelig er viktig for HR. Visste du forresten at du kan trene deg til å bli mer modig. Her får du tipsene til hvordan trene og mange gode grunner til hvorfor du bør gjøre det. Budskapet er at vi trenger mot, fordi det er det motsatte av komfort. For om du er helt ærlig med deg selv, når du er modig, beveger du deg vekk fra komfortsonen og inn i det ukjente. Det er der læring og utvikling skjer, og vi trenger mot for å ta sats. Heldigvis er mot en ressurs vi alle har i oss, og vi kan trene oss på å bli modigere i hverdagen vår. Anna og Jannecke har satt seg som mål å gjøre verden modigere! Det er BRAVE Leadership sin visjon, og den lever de helhjertet når de er ute og trener ledere og medarbeidere i ulike sammenhenger. De har begge arbeidserfaring fra HR, lederskap og fra det å være konsulenter, og hevder at det å stå i dagens arbeidsliv, det krever mot!

As leaders, we can often fall into the trap of focusing most of our attention on the work of achieving desired outcomes. While achieving outcomes is critical for organizational success, authentic leaders also focus on how they are showing up to lead the people doing the day-to-day work to achieve those desired results. Focusing their attention there forces the leader to be vulnerable, to think more in terms of “we” than “I.” Focusing their attention on the staff doing the work engages the leader's innate curiosity, and that curiosity gives rise to empathy. Empathy nourishes emotional intelligence, which is the cornerstone of sustained impact.   Takeaways √ People experience a form of grief when organizations go through layoffs. √ Leadership is akin to being onstage because people are always looking at you, watching what you will say and do. √ “Brave Leadership” is the act of staying true to who you are when the pressure is at its greatest. √ The super-objective that we set for ourselves defines the impact that we want to have on others. √ How you show up is how people see you, not what you believe. Authenticity is in the eye of the beholder. √ If you are not curious about people, you cannot bring empathy to the conversation, and if you are not empathetic, you cannot be authentic and have the impact you want to have. √ Because organizations are numbers-driven, leaders tend to focus on the work as opposed to the people doing the work. √ Real presence doesn't show up in the absence of obstacles.   My Guest And someone who knows more than a thing or two about brave leadership is our guest in this episode, Kimberly Davis, author of the best-seller Brave Leadership, TEDx speaker, and founder of the Brave Leadership University.   Resources / Links / References Company: onstageleadership.com TEDx: youtube.com/watch?v=PgCBVGBHGx4 Book: braveleadershipbook.com/ Email: kimberly@braveleadershipuniversity.com Twitter: OnStageKimberly LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kimberlydavisonstage Patrick Lencioni - The Advantage Interview – Joanne Duncan Daniel Lubetzky – Do the Kind Thing Interview – Dr. Ken Wallace Sarah Elkins – “No Longer Virtual” Summit

I think y'all know that I'm a fifth-generation Texan, and I have another Texan with me today: Beto O'Rourke. He is running for governor of Texas, and early voting starts next week on October 24th, with Election Day coming up on November 8th. But beyond the timeliness of voting, I wanted to connect on the timeliness of brave leadership — because we really need courageous, real, authentic, empathic leaders right now. So I wanted to have him on the podcast to learn a little bit more about his approach, his vision, and what he wants for us in our state. And, you know, if you're not in Texas, there's a saying, “As Texas goes, so goes the nation.” I think you'll find this interesting. Whether you agree or disagree with Beto's position on things, I think he's a strong leader with a different approach — and I love the authenticity. I think you'll find his story and his vision for politics and life in general compelling. We need to be talking to more and more leaders about what their vision is, what their concerns are, who they are as people. You know, we always say on Dare to Lead, who you are is how you lead, and I think we got a really good picture of that in this conversation. Learn more about your ad choices.

As I mentioned a few episodes ago, if I had to choose one gift to impart upon every person I meet – one master key that unlocks their potential – it would be bravery. We need radical bravery in our workplaces, our schools, our neighborhoods, and – God help us – in our politics. If more people committed to making brave choices daily, we would see stronger, more effective teams, less corruption, less unhealthy conflict, and more progress on the societal issues that truly matter. Organizations need leaders committed to cultivating a culture of bravery, and who themselves are making brave choices in the face of uncertainty. The marketplace needs more business owners who are willing to step up and do the right thing for their employees and their communities, even at the risk of personal cost. And, society needs more people to cultivate brave, empathetic relationships with people who think differently from them. More than almost any other place, our workplaces need brave leaders. We need people who are committed to standing in the gap, protecting their people, and fighting for the mission of the organization even at personal expense.  Here are a few principles that brave leaders abide by: Brave leaders assume accountability for their actions. Many leaders revel in the glory that comes with success, but brave leaders are also willing to put themselves on the line and be accountable when their actions fail. Many are familiar with Dwight Eisenhower's letter to the Allied troops on the eve of the D-Day invasion in June 1944. It begins, “You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you.” Inspiring leadership, for sure. However, fewer people are aware that Eisenhower wrote a second letter, only to be delivered in the event of an unsuccessful landing. “Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based on the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.” Brave leaders are willing to accept responsibility for their actions, including their failures. Are you avoiding accountability for your actions, or pointing fingers at others when you fall short? Brave leaders have the uncomfortable conversation.​ It's far easier to avoid difficult chats with direct reports, but brave leaders recognize that it's more important to be effective than to be liked. It's never comfortable to discuss performance issues, to deliver uncomfortable news, or to challenge someone's attitude, but these are the kinds of conversations that brave leaders (cautiously and wisely) step into because they know that their position demands it. Is there an uncomfortable conversation you need to have, but have been avoiding?  Brave leaders speak truth to power. ​As a leader, you must be willing to defend important principles when you perceive they are being “ground up” in the organizational gears. Cowards “go with the flow”, especially when  speaking up might mean losing their organizational standing, but brave leaders are willing to abide by their principles even at personal cost. As my friend riCardo Crespo often says, “you can't lie to the person in the mirror.” Brave leaders can look themselves in the face every day knowing that they are living out their principles and standing up for what they believe to be proper and just. What principles are you willing to defend, even if it affects your reputation or position? Brave leaders put their resources where their mouth is. ​Cowards say bold things, but are always hedging their bets. Brave leaders are willing to put themselves on the line by resourcing the initiatives they believe to be best for the organization and the people it serves. If you aren't putting resources behind

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

Today, I want to focus on the paradigm of superhuman compulsion. This socially esteemed and normalized way of operating that often requires us to neglect our need for rest, sleep, connection, play and self-care in order to sustain our self-image of being competent, valuable, and responsible.These pressures whisk us away on a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows — one day we feel accomplished, successful, and worthy, and a day later, we collapse into depression, unworthiness and feelings of self-doubt and failure. Episode Notes:Anne-Marie MarronArticle: The Superhuman Compulsion by Anne-Marie Marron, click here. If you have a power reclamation story to share or questions, please send them to Ask Anne-Marie.If you want to learn more about my work you can visit my websites:Power reclamation guide and somatic healing: www.anne-mariemarron.comLeadership coach and organizational-culture consultant: www.revealingwisdom.comFind Anne-Marie on InstagramIf you wonder whether Power Reclamation Coaching is for you, book a discovery call here

Even in today's day and age, workplaces are still dominated by a culture that favors men as business leaders but research is finding how working moms are best equipped to bring 21st century leadership skills into the workplace. I'm passionate about supporting parents, especially moms in the workplace, see their value and embrace the skills they have that make them such effective leaders. My guest, Jen Murtagh, feels the same way. So much so that she built her company Maturn, to support mothers transitioning in and out of maternity leave. According to research done by Bright Horizons, working women bring skills to the workplace that make them the best leaders because they excel in areas such as bringing out the best in others, better listening, better team player and are also better at multitasking and time management. In other words, supporting women in the workplace is good for business! And that's where Maturn, and Jen's expertise comes in! In this episode, Jen and I talk about: The motherhood penalty How organizations can retain and grow women leaders What mothers can gain from having support and a community For a copy of the “Maternity Transition Plan” to help support mamas who are expecting and looking for a plan to support their transition to maternity leave, visit the Parent Toolbox. www.parent-toolbox.com About Jen Murtagh With over two decades of experience spanning both corporate and non-profit, heart-centred leadership has been the guiding star of Jen Murtagh's career. An award-winning and values-based C-Suite leader, Jen has successfully led and raised millions for national campaigns on anti-bullying, vulnerable youth, and advanced gender equity through her work with a variety of women's organizations. As an ICF accredited leadership coach, Jen supports women to live and lead bravely through her 1:1 coaching, workshops, speaking and signature Brave Leadership for Women program. Jen is a Business in Vancouver ‘Forty Under 40' Award Winner and Greater Vancouver Board of Trade ‘Women of Promise'.

It sounds easy to say, "welcome everything", but if you've tried, you'll know how many protectors and iron gates come down when circumstances that we don't like capture our attention or threaten our sense of power, safety and connection.It takes immense courage and consciousness to embark on this deep level of integration and healing.   There is great power gained by learning to welcome our shadows and messiness.   Resources from the episode:1.

Happy New Year everyone, I'm excited to kick off the year in conversation with Monique Carayol. Monique talks about leadership from a place of deep experience gained from starting as a PA in the NHS and navigating her way to a board level executive director. Monique won the PRECIOUS Outstanding Woman in the Public Sector award in 2017. I share this because of course it's a huge achievement, but more so because I had one hour with Monique and in that short time I could feel what it meant to be in Monique's company. I was reminded of my previous guest Owen Eastwood “to belong is to be seen, and to be accepted and respected for who you are” and I felt all of this in Monique's company. ⠀ Check out Monique's podcast Be Yourself, Back Yourself and Make it Happen.    Thanks for listening.    Sinéad x   

In this episode of the Thryving Mother Podcast, Maturn Founders, Jen Murtagh and Sonja Baikogli Foley share their mission to eliminate the ‘motherhood penalty' with Canada's first official maternity leave program. Maturn is a comprehensive program focused solely on the crucial transition to and from maternity leave. Both founders are Vancouver-based former C-Suite level executives and each Mom to two in addition to impressive backgrounds and career accomplishments. Their own lived maternity and career experiences led to the creation of this national program and a passion to address the inequality and lack of guidance women experience when taking maternity leave. Jen and Sonja discuss why it's essential that mat leave planning goes beyond time taken and salary top ups and becomes about career trajectory and building confidence for Moms returning to work. Maturn's comprehensive program will be the first to provide support and tools to working mothers as well as organizations to successfully navigate the maternity process without enduring systemic penalties or sacrificing career goals. About Jenn and Sonja Jen Murtagh, Co-Founder With over two decades of experience spanning both corporate and non-profit, heart-centred leadership has been the guiding star of Jen Murtagh's career. Jen supports women to live and lead bravely through her 1:1 coaching, workshops, speaking and signature Brave Leadership for Women program. Jen is a mother and stepmother to four children who was inspired to co-create Maturn to serve mothers in a deep and meaningful way while advancing gender equity.  Sonja Baikogli Foley, Co-Founder Sonja holds 15+ years of diverse experience in non-profit, public and private organizations and has always been drawn towards impact-driven work that genuinely makes a difference in the lives of others. Born to Iranian refugee-status parents in Sweden, she experienced her life from the eyes of displaced parents. These early experiences and hardships shaped Sonja's foundation and made her the person she is today. Sonja co-founded Maturn out of a desire to support women and turn maternity leave into an intentional year. She's a proud mother of two who is driven to build a more equitable, compassionate and inclusive world for future generations.Learn more on Jen, Sonja and Maturn at www.maturn.com/meet-the-founders/ @maturncanada, @jenmurtaghcoaching, @sonjabfoley__Podcast WebsiteConnect with Casey James:Instagram: @thryve_living, @thryvingmotherpodcastFor professional/brand support: @senseandsavvyWebsite: www.thryve.caEmail: hello@thryve.ca

In this episode, we interview Aaronde Creighton who is an executive coach and leadership consultant and a trained Brene Brown's Dare to Lead facilitator. He shares with us his thoughts on vulnerability, and why it's necessary to have hard conversations. We talk about diversity, inclusion, and belonging and how we need to go deep within ourselves do the work that's needed in the world. Showing up bravely as leaders will be what it takes to make an impact. All about Aaronde: My goal in life is to live seamlessly without compartmentalization. What the heck does that mean? I bring my whole self to work each and every day…husband, father, mentor, trafficking abolitionist and practical joker. This approach allows me to give all of who I am to my clients and community, which brings great results to clients and is fulfilling for me personally. I love working with great people, clients, and teams who are committed to common goals, not individual achievements and accolades. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

There's much talk about the importance of leadership to set a clear vision, engage the hearts and minds of individuals within an organization, and drive critical business results. And we hear about different types of leaders, as researcher and author Goleman differentiate – situational, commanding, visionary, democratic, affiliative, pacesetting, coaching. Which one of those should we be? Do we change our position as leaders, depending on the environment and task at hand? Maybe it's more about the way we lead and the person we show up to be as a leader. Maybe it's more about pushing ourselves to be brave, courageous, authentic, and just plain bold – even when we don't think we can be.
