Leadership Mistakes at Work — AmyJo Mattheis on Being Right and Staying Too Long

Founder & CEO of Pavo Navigation Consulting Show notes: https://www.markgraban.com/mistake69 My guest for Episode #69 is AmyJo Mattheis, the founder and CEO of her firm Pavo Navigation Consulting. She has worked in international development, government, higher education, and religion — a professor and a pastor. Works a lot with high-tech startups… she has managed teams, built roadmaps, facilitated groups, navigated boards, set vision, and led thousands of people to bring them into form. Questions and topics include: What were AmyJo's three favorite mistakes? Needing to know the answer (or thinking I had to be right) Staying too long in a job Expecting the organization to “love you back” (even if that's a church) How do you learn it’s a problem? Somatic indicators – signals? Is it fixable? Is it mine to fix? Advice: set a timeline to see if it can be better Knowledge vs. assumption Being right vs. testing hypotheses Coaches people all the time who beat themselves up over mistakes — accepted part of the culture Believing it was my responsibility to make everything right or successful Founders in Silicon Valley and Venture Capital firms… fail fast, fail early? Easier said than done “I am exactly where I am meant to be, doing what I am supposed to do, at the exact time and place it is needed. All of where I have been now culminates into a potent product that brings results of increase for all and a new pathway to profit for you, your company, organization, or institution.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/favorite-mistake/support
