Leadership In A Global World
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Our CEO and Founder, Jessica Chen, recently hosted a Soulcast Media | LIVE event on LinkedIn, where she interviewed Executive Director, Harvard Business School Online & Executive Education, Patrick Mullane. They shared tips and personal stories on leadership in a global world. Here are the takeaways for VIP Comm Pass members:
- As a leader, everything else is easy if you get the people right.
- Leading people from around the world requires you to understand human nature. Think about how people think, behave, and react; it is all very universal.
- When you are trying to expand your network, don't be impatient. You are playing the long game. Those connections, over time, most likely will blossom into something else.
- How to approach speaking to your global team: tell a story.
- You are much more effective as a leader if you can incorporate a story when speaking to your team. Our brains are wired to want to listen to stories.
- Find a way to tell people you are responsible for, this is our vision, starting today, and this is where you want to be in the future, you'll be much more likely to get to where you are going.
- Employers are looking for people who have a combination of hard and soft skills.
- Three soft skills to focus on are communications, leadership, and emotional intelligence.
- Leadership is not just for leaders. People at any level can learn leadership skills.
- Keep doing your best even when no one is looking.
- Leadership will teach you about people.
- It's easy not to work on soft skills, because it takes self-reflection to do it well.
