Episode 47: Leadership Lessons of 2025

“The world is the true classroom” – Jack Hanna

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for.
 
Every leader no matter what the industry at one point in time in their life has passed through a classroom. Whether that was in elementary, middle, secondary or university classroom, teaching and learning are woven into the fabric of our world. The best leaders see teaching and learning opportunities all around us with the world as their classrooms.

The Harvard Business Review in one of their past reports states that many leaders do not grow because they overlook one or more attribute that is foundational to a leader’s mindset. The report asks the question of why many companies are not getting more for their leadership programs. With the many programs we have, we need to see more effectiveness. Simply stated, to be a great leader requires the right mindset. 

In another Harvard Business Review article, it states that a mindset of learning from the world is a growth mindset. This means leaders can actively engage with real world issues and embrace all facets of any challenge as learning opportunities. In this reflective episode of Points of Leadership, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck discuss some of the leadership lessons they have learned this year. From vulnerability, cross functional leadership to rapid technological advancement, this is a great episode to help leaders reflect on their year. 

 Lastly, they discuss the need for continuous learning, application and Dr. Feyi’s upcoming new book. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.
