In this episode, Jordan and Holly discuss:
Hard power and soft power leadership
How family culture contributes to leadership style
Passive aggressive leadership
Gender roles in hard power and soft power leadership
Authenticity is a key to great leadership
Key Takeaways:
A balance of hard power and soft power leadership works best
Most leaders who are perceived as disrespectful don’t want to hurt people-They are so focused on results they get frustrated or defensive.
Leaders who come from loud families also get perceived as abrasive or disrespectful- In part it is family culture
To be effective, a leader needs to find their authentic reason to change their style
Holly discusses an executive coaching client who changed his style when he realized that his team members can’t read his mind.
If you aren’t getting the results you want, you need to focus on what you control.
"It’s not just about proclaiming what you want it’s about helping people follow, getting obstacles out of their way, and being supportive." — Holly Teska
