Leadership Insights with Marsha Acker
Aug 17, 2023 Season 5 Episode 72
Naomi Tucker, CMP, HMCC

In this episode, I sit down with Marsha Acker with Team Catapult. Marsha shares her leadership tips and expertise with me as we dig through some event industry challenges.

Episode Highlights:

  • It doesn't matter what strategies you have or the tools you buy. If you can't come together for a conversation and create change, then these things won't matter- it’s the relationship that we are able to build and the effective conversation that we have that makes the difference.
  • Leadership is the art of engaging with others in a way that helps us all be the best version of ourselves - Marsha Acker
  • Just because we lead differently, it doesn't mean that we can't be impactful in our own way.
  • It is important as leaders for us to be clear on how we behave, how we lead, and what is our model for leadership.
  • Do you make space in our companies to think and talk as a team? We are excellent at communication, but we may see things differently than others. 
  • Marsha talks about the key thing she does with her team to encourage relationship-building and open communication. 
  • Discussing your team's individual values and then collective values can be a useful tool for leaders of thriving teams. 
  • Choosing not to maintain relationships in your business, can be detrimental for companies and teams. 
  • In change management, we can resist change that is happening, or we can consider what we might create from it.   
  • If you feel like you are efforting more than others, it may be time to do a self-check to see if you have to let go of the perspective that it has to be a specific way.
