In this episode of the Naked Leadership podcast we lay the foundation of what we are talking about when we use the word leadership and leader.
We explore the nuances of:
- Myths about leadership
- Leaders are such long before they get the title
- Authority or position is not leadership, and sometimes it prevents us from leading
- How light and leadership are similar
- Leadership is authentic engagement
- How lots of leaders use their time and resources to look good
- How Fredrick Douglas showed up in leadership, and what we can learn from him
- We look at problems between us, instead of in front of us
- The brain can’t help but look for shortcuts
As a bonus, Dan and Adrian work out a current breakdown in their partnership, real-time on the mic.
