I love making connections to the keys of being the most impactful and effective leader to observations in other spaces (and sometimes the most random ones!) In this episode, I draw parallels between leadership and lessons learned from watching the singing competition show - American Idol. I talk about how the show illustrates the shared human experiences of compassion, curiosity, and self-doubt, regardless of your role, experience, age or any other status.
Through my observations from the show, I share the areas of self-belief, the challenge of comparison, and building confidence. These concepts are related back to you, as a leader.
I also discuss my observations of how this ties back to how you lead others, including the importance of psychological safety, getting to know your team on a human level, and fostering an environment where both leaders and your teams can thrive through empathy and understanding.
It will leave you with some things to reflect on!
