39: Positive Psychology for Leaders: Unlocking Your Potential

You need to be a different leader for each person. One size fits all leadership is really not where we’re heading. It’s what we had in the past

The old paradigm is what we’re moving out of, and that’s not gonna fly.

Some people need more autonomy, some people need more equity, some people may need more of a relationship, and other people don’t.

It’s our job as leaders to constantly be developing ourselves so that we stay authentic, instead of, “this book told me to do this.”
