In this episode of Podcast Mark, Kevin Barber and Mark de Grasse emphasize leading teams through uncertainty by having direct conversations about problems. They recommend contingency plans for different business scenarios to provide clarity. Regarding compensation, carefully define bonuses to avoid entitlement mindsets. Accept lessons and grow from mistakes, even on different timelines. Stay humble amidst others' success. Intentional discomfort is key for growth. View those with different skills as opportunities to learn, not resent. Adaptability is critical to navigate job loss as AI transforms roles. Leading well involves direct communication, adaptability to change, and continuous personal growth.
