Episode Twenty-Three: The One with Luke O'Mahoney

About the Episode This week, our host, Kellie Lucas, talks with People expert, Luke O'Mahoney, from SapienX - culture enablement consultancy. Unsurprisingly, this was an incredible discussion between two passionate advocates for People Success and people-first cultures. The takeaways below are a small sample of the full episode. Take a listen and let us know what your key takeaways are! On his personal definition of leadership: to ensure I am a positive force and a positive energy for the people that I interact with. On the topic of what makes a leader: leadership has to start with showing up for others; you can’t lead others without leading yourself first. On the difference between management and leadership: empathy bridges the gap between management and leadership. Many managers just haven’t tapped into empathy yet… All of which ultimately feeds into our own mantra of Their Success = Your Success : the power of unlocking potential in others, which then also unlocks potential in yourself because you thrive and elevate and develop as you're elevating others.
