The Leadership Vision Podcast

Mar 18 2024 • 44 mins

Are you leading your team to its fullest potential or unknowingly holding it back? Unlock the secrets to fostering a thriving work culture with executive coach Tom Willis, as he joins us to discuss his book, "The Great Engagement," and the transformative role leadership plays in employee engagement. Together, we examine the dichotomy of leaders being both the source of workplace disengagement and its remedy, emphasizing the shift from blame to self-awareness and proactive change. By aligning personal purpose with organizational missions, we unveil how anyone—from CEOs to janitors—can find profound meaning in their work, painting a vivid picture of leadership that goes beyond mere profit and loss statements.

Prepare to refine your listening skills, arguably the most underrated superpower in a leader's toolkit, as we share practical tips and personal anecdotes that reveal the art of truly hearing your team. In this heartfelt exchange, we celebrate those lightbulb moments during group workshops and the ripple effect they have on leadership development and organizational rejuvenation. We also dive into the nuanced journey of aligning personal purpose with the broader goals of an organization, challenging the traditional compliance model and offering a more inspirational, purpose-driven approach for lasting engagement.

In our final reflection, we ascend the mountain of personal and spiritual growth, tackling the dynamics of fear and courage within team settings. Learn how to turn fear-based reactions into love-based responses, transforming everyday 'have to' tasks into 'get to' opportunities for growth. By demystifying the practices of exceptional leaders who cultivate cultures of inspiration, we invite you to reconsider the storytelling power of leadership. Join us as we extend a warm invitation to continue this conversation beyond the podcast, sharing your leadership triumphs and trials as we journey together towards exceptional leadership and engagement.
