We’re back today with Tim Spiker, the author of “Only Leaders Worth Following.” If you haven’t listened to part 1 yet, feel free to go give it a listen before you join us.
Today we continue to explore the two key principles of effective leadership: Inwardly Sound and Others Focused. And while you may think it’s about learning the right steps and checking the right boxes, it’s really about the forming of your heart and who you are becoming as a leader.
It begins with being aware of who you are and then realizing it’s not an overnight process and requires emotional maturity. While this is a long journey, in this podcast Tim gives us two of the first steps to become more emotionally mature. Becoming emotionally mature may sound scary to you, but Tim shares how important this inner development is for all of us.
Are you ready to start that journey?
At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe that everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys.
CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts. If you are interested in learning more and taking the CliftonStrengths assessment for you or your team, please reach out to tara@aligntransform.com.
