Episode #64: Leadership Tips to Accelerate Your Career Growth

In this episode you will listen to the top three leaderships lessons I took from the book The Wisdom of the Bullfrog, recently written by retired U.S. Navy Admiral William McRaven.
1.    The first one was Admiral’s McRaven’s definition of leadership: “Leadership is accomplishing a task with the people and resources you have, while maintaining the integrity of your institution.” I like how this definition combines delivering results, using available resources, and completing the task within the construct of your personal and organization’s values and principles. All three elements have got to be there to excel as a leader.
2.    The second lesson I shared was: “When in command, command.” If you are in a leadership position, lead. Don’t delegate the key decisions.
3.    And the third leadership lesson was: “Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.” Become the leader who takes the initiative and motivates and expects this type of behavior from their team.
Practice one or more of these three lessons to become a better leader.
