Leadership Journeys [64] - Eva Poppe - "When you get out of your comfort zone, you learn so much about yourself."

This is the Leadership Journey series on the Choosing Leadership Podcast.I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other's stories - of where we started, where we are now, and our successes and struggles on the way. With this series of interviews, my attempt is to give leaders an opportunity to share their stories and for all of us to learn from their generous sharing. If you know a leader whom you would like to see celebrated on the show, please send me a message on LinkedIn with their name.In the interview, we talk about learning from different cultures, how people’s expectations from leaders have changed in the last few years, and how you can be both loving and empathetic towards your people while at the same time holding each other accountable for our responsibilities as a team/company.

It makes you humble. Um, which I think is very important because You're no better than others.I think it is very important if you talk to people from, like other views who give you like an outside view on where you're at because you're in your own zone a lot of times you can, um, then not see left or right.So if someone is coming in and kind of puts a little bit into the right in into the right context. It helps tremendously.
