  • What do we need to unlearn to lead well?
    Feb 8 2024

    Have you heard about unlearning? It sounds like the opposite of what we are all about here at How To Take The Lead - learning, growth and development. But understanding what we need to unlearn as leaders is key to that growth and development.

    In this episode we cover:

    • what we mean by the concept of unlearning
    • why unlearning a crucial part of our leadership journeys
    • how you know what you need to unlearn in order to improve
    • Seeking feedback and engaging others in your unlearning

    As it's the last episode of this series you can also hear our highlights from series 4. Both of us particularly loved the conversation about self-leadership.

  • Taking risks
    Feb 1 2024

    What is your risk appetite as a leader?

    It's well evidenced that high-performing teams are those who are willing to take collective risk. But it's not easy to get to that place, especially if it's outside of your comfort zone.

    In this episode, we chat all things risk and why your approach to it matters. We discuss:

    • how we define risks and how our approaches vary
    • risk awareness versus risk-taking
    • how your DISC profile - or preferences - can affect how you view and take risks
    • the requirement of psychological safety in building risk appetite
    • what good risk taking looks like
    • how to identify where you sit on a risk scale
    • how to become less risk averse
    • tackling risky behaviours in others without being a killjoy
    • getting alignment with your Board and taking people with you
    • embracing your inner risk-taker

  • Disruptive leadership
    Jan 25 2024

    Is being a disruptor about making trouble? We don't think so and it's one of the things we explore in this conversation about disruptive leadership. In this episode of How To Take The Lead we consider how disruptive leadership can support your teams/ organisations.

    We discuss:

    • what being a disruptive leader really means?
    • the challenges disruption can cause
    • how to take other people on a journey of change as part of disruption
    • testing out disruption in small, more manageable ways
    • changing or shifting your mindset in relation to dispruption
    • being comfortable with your role or the role of others in disruptive leadership.
