In this episode we discuss:
- [2:57] - Leadership has many definitions, especially when compared to 'management'. Chris explains useful ways of looking at, and understanding leadership, and how you can apply the characteristics within your business.
- [7:02] - The particular behaviours that better and more insightful leaders display routinely.
- [8:46] - The greatest risk to your business is 'you'. It's not helpful to suppress our emotions when it comes to our leadership style. Realising that you are not - what you are feeling is the first step to understanding the mechanics of your mind.
- [11:43] - Leadership is not about bottling things up inside and simply projecting a happy, caring, calm persona. When you feel agitated there are some helpful tips. Just be sure that you are doing the 'emotion', and not the emotion doing you.
- [13:53] - What are the differences between Leadership ... and Management? The simple answer is that they are both necessary within your business. How they balance and work together is crucial.
