Episode 3: Leadership, Teams, and Organizational Health

from Learning Leadership: In Practice · host David Reyes

In this episode of Learning Leadership, In Practice I explore what it looks like to lead while you are still learning. In a year of transition and change, I found myself wrestling with how to stay grounded in leadership truths while helping my team navigate unclear waters. These books helped shape how I thought about organizations, systems, and people, and reminded me that leadership is learned by practicing presence, reflection, and intentional influence.Below are the books featured in this episode with links to explore or purchase on Amazon*:Strong Ground by Brené BrownThe Truth About Employee Engagement by Patrick LencioniHow to Lead When You’re Not in Charge by Clay ScrogginsThe McKinsey Way by Ethan RasielRethinking Work by Rishad TobaccowalaIn this episode, I reflect on how grappling with measuring impact changed how I led, and how systems and people are deeply connected in the life of any organization. I also explore how leadership transformation is not a single moment but a process that grows through reflection, presence, and listening to what the work itself teaches us.Listen to the episode here:https://open.substack.com/pub/davidreyes/p/episode-3-leadership-teams-and-the?r=1ba4g&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueSubscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/learning-leadership-in-practice/id1865747751Thank you for joining me in this ongoing journey of learning and growing in leadership. *As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases This is a public episode.
