Dave Ferguson Discusses Becoming A Great Leader And Creating High Performing Teams

Dave Ferguson was this week's guest on Success Profiles Radio. He is the author of the book "Boss Or Leader: Are You Leading For A Living, Or Living To Lead?" We talked about what he learned about leadership while he was in the military, as well as leadership lessons he learned while growing up. We also talked about the differences between a boss and a leader, how they handle situations differently, how you can assess what your team is capable of, and if there are differences between introverts and extroverts as leaders. In addition, we discussed the importance of authenticity and transparency in leadership, blind sports we can run into as leaders, how bosses and leaders view failure differently, and the impact of millennials in the workforce might impact leadership styles. Finally, we discussed how to have difficult conversations with team members while still valuing them, as well as how to handle overwhelm when we have a lot going on. We discussed so much more during the show. You can subscribe to the show on iTunes, and you can also listen to the show at www.successprofilesradio.com
