The Leadership Vision Podcast

Jan 15 2024 • 28 mins

Discover the transformative power of perspective with my guest, Brian Schubring, as we tackle the role it plays in effective leadership. We'll reveal why a shift in outlook is not just beneficial, but critical for innovation and empathy in our decision-making processes. Join us as we dissect the necessity for leaders to evolve their perspectives in the face of complex challenges, emphasizing how personal experiences and biases can both hinder and broaden our approach to problem-solving. We dive into strategies for altering perspectives through attitude adjustments, gaining altitude on situations, amplification of diverse viewpoints, and redefining our approach to issues, all with the goal of fostering inclusivity and driving positive change.

In this episode, we also champion a culture of curiosity and openness, especially vital for seasoned leaders. We discuss how adaptability isn't just the domain of the young but a quality that can be cultivated at any stage in a career, much like surgeons who remain flexible and innovative in their methodologies. By sharing real-life anecdotes and practical strategies, we aim to ignite a passion for asking "why" in our listeners, deepening insights into team dynamics and problem-solving approaches beyond surface-level understanding. Allow yourself to be inspired by the rewards of embracing new perspectives, akin to the broadening vista from a parasail, which can guide our future choices and enhance life's experiences both personally and professionally.
