Why Great Managers Practice Self-Leadership and Build Trust: A Conversation with Kent Vaughn (Part 1) | Ep10

from Candor & Courage At Work® · host HR Habitude

No one brings their A-game to work for a manager who doesn’t “walk the talk.” In this episode, executive coach Kent Vaughn joins us to explore what it really takes to lead with integrity… starting with yourself. From self-leadership and personal accountability to giving (and receiving) feedback, Kent breaks down the core habits that separate great leaders from the rest. You’ll learn why intentions don’t build trust, how to use the “mirror test” to stay aligned with your values, why vulnerability accelerates leadership growth, and how strong manager-employee relationships impact both retention and performance.   Resources Mentioned: Three Keys of Execution Everyone Can Lead It’s Your Ship Blaze Performance Get Clear Living About the Guest: Kent Vaughn is the CEO & Co-Founder of Blaze Performance and Co-Founder of Get Clear Living.
