3 big ideas discussed in this episode:
- The two most common leadership styles “Command & Control” and “Carrot & Stick” are unproductive, unsustainable and disrespectful. A much more effective and positive style is needed, “Respectful Leadership.”
- Respect is contagious: recent discoveries in neuroscience consistently support the concept that if we treat others with genuine respect, they will reciprocate and will also treat others with respect.
- Respectful Leadership has a lot of good “WIIFM” (What’s In It For Me). If you practice RL genuinely and consistently you will be respected more and your teams will have increased respect for each other, productivity, collaboration, and positive results.
