Manage episode 389141683 series 2866276
This episode of Lead for Clarity focused on the "pain stage" of the Process of Sustainable Growth. Shandel and Melanie interviewed their guest, Rob Shipp, about his experiences in the Navy and how he has worked to develop trust with his team. Rob discussed how he realized the Navy hadn't been focusing enough on developing leadership skills. He worked with Melanie to provide a 9-week leadership training program for his team. The discussion explored how acknowledging pain and being uncomfortable can help drive growth. Rob also shared personal stories about improving communication with his children and looking inward at his own behaviors. The episode emphasized the importance of addressing pain points in order to progress through the growth cycle.
Key Takeaways:
- Addressing pain points and areas of discomfort is necessary to progress through the healthy growth cycle.
- Focusing only on behaviors and results is superficial; getting to the root causes by exploring events, stories, and feelings leads to deeper understanding and change.
- Developing trust, both giving and receiving it, is an ongoing leadership challenge that requires self-reflection and commitment.
- Personal growth often happens through acknowledging pain in relationships close to home, like with children, and looking inward at one's own behaviors and communication styles.
- Providing opportunities for teams to have open discussions about both work and personal lives can foster stronger connections and engagement with leadership development.
