About this episode
Today we are going to talking about a leadership gift. No, it’s not a cheap trinket with your company logo on it. It’s a gift that leaders can give their people to help them become a better version of themselves. It’s the Gift of a Challenge. For those that have read my first book, you might recognize the concept of leadership gifts. I have a whole chapter on the intangible gifts that leaders give. I mentioned a few in the book like the gift of trust, appreciation, faith, support, encouragement, and recognition. But, today we’re going to talk about one gift that has had a profound impact on my life and it’s a bit counter-intuitive. You might even be thinking, how is the Gift of a Challenge a good thing? Well, tune in and find out.
The Gift of a Challenge is covered in both my bestselling books, I Have the Watch and All in the Same Boat
