68: Leaders With Heart Create a Culture of Autonomy

In this episode, Heather speaks with Gustavo Tavares of Top Employers Institute Latin America. Gustavo recently facilitated a keynote speech Heather delivered for Harvard Business Review Brasil. He shared more about his leadership style, his refreshing philosophy on empowering his people to chart their own coarse and his mission to burst the leadership isolation bubble. Key takeaways: Leaders show receptivity to change so that their people will emulate what they see There is no need to isolate the leader from the troops Make sure to counterbalance autonomy with accountability When leaders are on the journey, their team is there too-through peaks and valleys Trust your own instinct Treat others how you want to be treated
