In our discussion, Margie shares practical strategies leaders can use to foster alignment, clarity, and productivity within their organizations. A key takeaway? Effective communication is critical – leaders need to constantly reinforce vision and direction to get everyone moving in sync. Margie also tackles common leadership pitfalls, like promoting based on tenure rather than fit. We explore better ways to develop future leaders by looking at core competencies. Self-awareness, collaboration ability, communication skills – these matter more than tenure! And we dive into best practices for managing change. Margie has an interesting perspective – leaders don’t need to make everyone happy, just productive! By tapping into people’s natural motivation and hardwiring for growth, leaders can guide teams through uncertainty. Margie’s advice is grounded and actionable. If you lead people or want to build a cohesive team, have a listen. Then check the notes where I’ve summarized key insights and linked to Margie’s site for free team assessments.
