Have you ever heard an idea that you thought you understood, but the more you heard, the more profound it became? Paula White’s idea about “Side B” leadership is one such idea! When you first hear it, it sounds like a standard truism that it “takes all kinds” or is essential to “leverage your strengths,” which are two powerful ideas, but they are hardly new. But as she unpacks the idea further—helping us to see that every typical leadership skill has an untapped genius at its side that will unlock your leadership capacity further than you thought possible and that these leadership skills are like the members of a band who work better together than apart-- I realized her ideas go way beyond a simple analogy.

Join us as we discuss:

-     How the metaphor of “getting the band together” translates into successful corporate teams

-    Why corporate teams need a diversity of “musicians” to work effectively

-    How to leverage our “hidden hits” and find our most effective leadership style
