Values-Based Leadership with Tom Epperson pt. 2

What this episode covers

In part two of the discussion with Dr. Tom Epperson, president of InnerWill Leadership Institute, he reminds listeners that leadership is not contained to the workplace but extends into every facet of life. Effective leadership is centered around people and clear communication within relationships, whether that applies to coworkers, family members, or communities. The good news is that there isn’t one personality type that makes the best leaders. Tom coaches individuals within an organization to have difficult conversations, receive honest feedback, and work diligently to strengthen areas of vulnerability regardless of their personality strengths and weaknesses. One of the greatest challenges for leaders in this current climate is navigating change in a way that encourages engagement from team members. When a business is in the process of adapting to change, it’s imperative to demonstrate transparency and community mindset throughout the entire process. That way employees feel a sense of ownership in the process and are more willing to actively participate. Main TopicsThe benefits of giving and receiving constructive feedback (02:45)Abundance mindset vs. lack mentality (05:05)All businesses are a people business (5:38)Personality styles and their relation to leadership (08:50)How leaders can successfully navigate change (14:45)Tom’s book InnerWill: Developing Better People, Braver Leaders, and a Wiser World through the Practice of Values Based Leadership (18:40)Episode Linkshttps://innerwill.org/ Go to TheFridayHabit.com to find show notes for this episode.
