Episode Description:
Every employee knows what it’s like to have a leader come in hot with a fresh vision and throw current plans out the window. Unfortunately, this kind of chaos breeds organizational instability. Today on True North Leader, Shawn Lovejoy, tells us that new leaders have a hard time discerning between opportunity and distraction. He knows this from personal experience. Bobby and Shawn pinpoint lies that hold leaders back. Like being defensive around feedback, believing the next stage will fix today’s problems, and why leaders need to find their “why.” Tune in for what leaders need to stay focused, energized, and aligned with their team.
