The Leader's Toolkit

019 The Core of a Leader

Episode Summary

The Core of a leader must include Skills Intelligence, Personality Intelligence and Emotional awareness, but what happens when a leader does not develop all of these areas? Rich Webb joins this episode for a great conversation around the importance, especially with the rise of AI, in strengthening the Core of leadership through relational intelligence.

Episode Notes

This episode centers around The Core of a Leader. Rich Webb details the three areas of awareness leaders must focus on: IQ, EQ, and PQ. The question is: do you know what it's like to be on the other side of you? Just like an athlete develops their Core strength, a leader must develop the core of their leadership. Are there areas in you that need strengthened? Because we don't always know what it's like to be on the other side of ourselves, we must get feedback. Of course this takes psychological safety. People must be able to trust that they can be honest without any risk of consequence. So take a look in the mirror, be honest with yourself and get feedback. Now take action and make the changes necessary. 

What about you? Which of these needs work - EQ, IQ or PQ? Take a look at The Core tool and other tools referenced in this episode.
