Nathan Whitaker: 5 Things Good Leaders Stop Doing
from Uncommon Impact · host Nathan Whitaker
Good leadership isn’t only about what we learn to do. Sometimes it’s about what we learn to stop doing. In this solo episode, Nathan shares five habits good leaders should leave behind: making leadership about themselves, solving every problem, leading from a distance, reacting too quickly, and correcting more than they encourage. Drawing from The Mentor Leader and lessons from Tony Dungy, Chris Archer, a federal judge Nathan clerked for, and his own experiences, Nathan explores how leaders can create more room for growth, connection, perspective, and encouragement. A short, practical episode built around one question: What might you need to stop doing to become a better leader?
