In this episode, Heather speaks with Danny Langloss, City Manager at City of Dixon in Illinois about his leadership style, the importance of showing appreciation for those we lead, a time when he was not the best version of himself and much more.
Key takeaways:
- There is a delicate balance for the leader on being self-aware and managing our emotions.
- There is a big difference between being very aware of who we are and how we are feeling then how others are feeling or responding to who we are
- We should have robust personal and organizational or team mission to hold onto when things get tough. That is our north star
- The leadership journey is not simple or easy
