Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front
E75 - Key Focus Indicators for Leaders featuring Renée Safrata
I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional unceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.
When we’re actively learning about our team members’ passions and lives, not only do we connect at a deeper level, but also utilise untapped skills.
In this week’s milestone episode, we learn some practical tools for leading our teams, including accountability, emotional intelligence and cohesion. With a person-centred approach to leadership, we can discover our team’s passions and drives.
Renée Safrata is the founder and CEO of Vivo Team Development.
Renée joins us for the 75th episode of The Trench Leadership Podcast to discuss how we can benefit from practicing vulnerability and having authentic conversations with our employees.
