In this episode of Leadership Synergized, Dr. Jay Staley joins Dr. Kevin Smith for another enlightening conversation. Dr. Staley shares his wisdom on having a growth mindset and how to continue growing and learning as you get older. He talks about an important life lesson he learned from one of his coaches as a young boy — that people need different things at different times. Sometimes they need someone to listen and give them a hug. Other times, they need a friendly kick to get motivated. Learning to read these situations and give people what they as their leader is a game-changing skill. Dr. Smith and Dr. Staley also touch on the balance between letting data lead your decisions, and ensuring love and passion play a part in driving those decisions as well, without letting either take over too much. Finally, Dr. Staley gives his advice on empowering others to take charge of their responsibilities and be accountable. This episode is FULL of leadership nuggets that you’ll definitely want to add to your leadership toolbox!
