222 | Redefining Leadership: Navigating the Post-COVID Era and the Millennial Workforce with Holly Tate
When we think of leadership, we often revert to the traditional model of management. But is that model still relevant in a post-COVID world, and with a millennial workforce? That's the question we explore with Holly Tate, Senior Vice President of Growth at Leadr. Holly, whose passion for people development is infectious, shares why she believes the old model of leadership is outdated. We discuss the five characteristics of high-performing teams and the paramount importance of building trust intentionally within your teams.
You'll learn how to foster a healthy culture of feedback and recognize each team member's unique strengths. Holly guides us through the key differences between coaching and criticism, stresses the need for self-awareness, and the importance of individual development plans. We're shifting the focus from climbing the corporate ladder to enhancing the individual's skills and strengths. Leadership is not about titles, but about intentional investment in the growth of your team members.
In the final part of our discussion, Holly provides valuable insight into the challenges of a hybrid work environment. We explore the essential role culture plays as a system that people react to:
- How can you create a culture that works for distributed teams?
- What tools can you use to reinforce that culture?
Holly shares her personal journey of leading a team from five to almost 40 people, underlining the need to never assume trust and always strive for a balance in everything we do. Prepare for an episode packed with invaluable insights on leadership and personal growth.
