During their conversation, they discuss how to understand a new work culture, being a learner, and investing in others.

QUOTES FROM EPISODE 40:

“I think as leaders we need to be ready for people to not know our name.”

“A big part of leadership is recognizing that your fruit often grows on other peoples trees.”

“Every person in an organization should be a part of a cycle of both learning and teaching.”

“As a leader, being a learner should be your #1 goal.”

“In this day and age, if you are a leader and not a learner, you’ve got a pretty short shelf life.”

“My biggest misconception as a young leader was that leadership placement and leadership development were the same thing.”
