380 The Essence Of Crisis Leadership - Monday Mentoring Feb 28, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to Monday Mentoring, on the Today's Leader Podcast, building Tomorrow's Best Leaders Today.
The last week has seen some additional pressures coming to light in the world, as if we haven't had enough already over the last two years, but its a great reminder the difference of leadership in a crisis.
Unfortunately, the most visible leadership we see in crisis is political leadership, which really isn't leadership, it's politics. The media also is very divisive and as leadership goes, is certainly not a role model.
Leadership in a crisis should embrace three things which will be uncovered in this episode

376 Bring Accountability to Agreed Actions - Monday Mentoring Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

Let's talk about accountability and commitment to actions from conversations that count.
First, accountability and commitment come from two key areas here, mutual purpose and mutual respect. If they are not evident in the conversation, it's unlikely that we will get accountability and commitment to any actions discussed.
Mutual purpose, the key link is to our shared outcome. Mutual respect comes from our actions and behaviours as a leader. That will drive respect for you,

#374 The Conversation Questions to Ask - Monday Mentoring Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

Hey there and welcome to Monday mentoring on The Todays Leader Podcast. We have been speaking about having conversations that count, something that is incredibly important for leaders at all levels.
Having conversations that count, helps leaders set direction, set performance standards, address concerns and issues. And Leaders that master this skill are often more successful than those that don't. Simply, communication is one of the key things for a leader to develop.
Confidence in communication comes from mastering the skill, and mastering something comes from your ongoing development and actually practicing the skill. People wish for confidence without having competence.
