Aaron Lee is a leadership consultant and has worked with partner organizations to overcome turnover, conflict, and paralysis in their communication collaboration. One thing that our audience might find interesting about Aaron is that they're not gonna hear this anywhere else.   [09:03 – 18:06] Leaders Struggle to Keep Up During the Pandemic   Leaders have always been accidental, but the pandemic has changed that. Before the pandemic, leaders could be accidental because they had enough people to manage and they didn't have to worry about them. Now, with the pandemic, leaders have to be intentional in their approach to managing their remote teams. One of the ways leaders can be intentional is by taking steps to be healthy themselves.   [18:06 – 26:20] Leaders need to check in with people to ensure a healthy foundation   The five factors that leaders should consider when assessing their own performance are sense of purpose, place, provision, personal health, and people. Individuals' sense of purpose changed during the pandemic, as they were more aware of their purpose in the world. Physical location is also a significant factor for leaders, as those who are remote may not have access to the same types of resources that those who are in the office do. Leaders should be aware of how their communication styles are affecting their team's productivity.”   [26:21 – 33:00] Closing Segment     Learn more about Aaron Lee  by visiting his website at newgenerationleader.com     Sponsors:   Banowetz Marketing: Growing a business is hard.
