#6 An Open Letter

Something different this week as we listen to an open letter written in 2020 by the CEO of AirBNB, Brian Chesky. Before we hear the letter (read by John from the Anything Audio team) we talk about ways you can recognise stress as a leader – both how it shows up in you, and how you might inadvertently hook it, or be hooked by it in others. We look at the 7F’s of threat responses, and David rock’s SCARF model, before going on to the Leadership Letters Lowdown. You can read Brian Chesky’s letter here https://news.airbnb.com/a-message-from-co-founder-and-ceo-brian-chesky/ The SCARF video by Beyond Performance that I mention can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMejNf0dL2g And more on David Rock and his work and further resources here https://neuroleadership.com/personnel/david-rock/ The podcast by Patrick Lencioni is here https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/change-is-easy-transition-is-hard/id1474171732?i=1000509486492 And here’s Oprah Winfrey’s book “What I Know For Sure” https://www.waterstones.com/book/what-i-know-for-sure/oprah-winfrey//9781447277668awc=3787_1615910686_d5b7b1cf43b2b10296976ee0d1a8e76a&utm_source=259955&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Genie+Shopping And you can find the Leadership Letter that this episode is based on here, https://www.thecausewaycoaching.com/leadership-letters where you can also find past Leadership Letters and sign up to receive future ones.
