Ep 012 – Are you a Rigid Tree or Flexible Octopus Type of leader?

Today I’m diving deeper into your leadership style and how it impacts your businesses.  Building on last week’s episode that talked about tree vs octopus organizations, I talk about leadership styles that reflect toughness versus flexibility. Whether you are leader-in-chief at the helm of a small business, mid-sized company, or a large corporation, today’s episode on how you lead will get you thinking about how your leadership is affecting your teams and business.  You’ll get insightful questions and tools to answer them to grow yourself and your company. I nerd out -and simplify- engineering physics, draw powerful parallels to business leadership, and extract tangible takeaways for you to consider and implement. Grab a seat and settle in for Thrive Thursday’s in-depth insight and analysis!  This episode is brought to you by Adaptability Coaching.
