DATE: 8 September 2021
HOST: David Webley, Founder & MD of Granite Consulting
GUEST: Colleen Callander – Keynote Speaker, Director, Author of 'Leader By Design'
In this episode David speak to Colleen Callander (former Sportsgirl CEO, Founder of Mentor Me Women and Author of ‘Leader By Design’) and covers topics such as the foundations of leadership, how kindness can be used by leaders, how to recognise and avoid burnout, and building the confidence to be a better leader.
INSIGHT 1 Confidence is a skill and not a trait. It's therefore something that can grow and be nurtured and developed.
INSIGHT 2 A degree of chaos and disruption is healthy and helps to lift resilience and innovation. However there is a significant difference between disruptive and destructive leadership and an organisation will only grow from the former and not the latter.
INSIGHT 3 Although kindness is often perceived as weakness, the opposite is true. It requires courage to make strong and tough decisions with kindness.
