About this episode
Tangible Takeaways:
- Imagine people walking around with this sign on their forehead that says, “Make me feel important,” and you’ll find yourself naturally being an inclusive leader.
- Be self-aware! Be mindful of your intent and observe if it matches your impact.
- Ask for feedback and have a posture of receiving it well.
- Show that you care by first seeking to understand by asking questions and listening. You want to get the other person's perspective.
- Give empathy before you give advice. People generally need connection, and most people know what to do! If they want advice, they'll ask you for it.
- Be curious! Entertain all new ideas for five minutes - it’s so natural to shoot down ideas that you “know” won’t work or feels too out of left field. Be inclusive by creating a “curious” buffer with your team.
