When we give others and ourselves the permission to influence change, we get rid of the judgment, we start building a community with better cultures, and we add more value to the table.
We are in the middle of a new era for leadership. The traditional top-down, command-and-control leadership style is no longer as effective as it once was. Today's leaders need to work collaboratively and be more agile. They also need to be able to navigate through complex and ever-changing landscapes.
In this episode, Maria talks about the need for new approaches to leadership. According to her, leaders have to think critically and creatively. She also reiterates the importance of making emotions in decisions and having diversity at the table.
Too often, people make decisions based on their heads, not their hearts. We need to remember that our emotions play a huge role in our lives and should be considered when making choices.
Additionally, it's crucial to have diversity at the decision-making table. Having different people in the decision-making process can help us to counteract our own biases and see things from new perspectives. And including emotions in the decision-making process can help us stay accountable to our values and better understand what's important to us.
