052: Sometimes It’s the Little Things That Matters Most
How do great leaders approach team management?
Today’s guest is Scott Holmes, a good friend who used to work with me at a previous company.
Scott is a great leader and has over 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry. He is currently the vice president of the commercial business group at a startup biotech company.
In this week’s episode of the Leadership Jam Session Podcast, Scott joins me to talk about his experiences as a leader, why trust is the key to team building, and the importance of giving back to your employees and the community.
We’ll also talk about one of the most critical aspects of team management; the little things we do as managers that impact our employees personally.
Ask Rob: How Do I Know If I’m a Good Leader?
Many of you reach out to me from time to time with a challenging management scenario, where you’d like to get guidance on how to approach that.
Today’s episode will feature a new format that we rolled out called ‘Ask Rob’.
Today’s question is from Doug, who is from Colorado:
“Hi, Rob. I was recently promoted into a management position about eight months ago. I often hear you talk about transition and the need to understand that there’s a difference between managing a process and becoming a leader. My question to you is, how do you know when you’ve made that transition? Or at least know that you are a good leader?”
In this episode of the Leadership Jam Session Podcast, I’ll address Doug’s challenging scenario. I’ll talk about why true leaders are the ones that get validation from the teams they lead. I’ll also share some of my life experiences that shaped my approach to leadership.
