On this Mamish Maverick segment, Maynard Breslow and Monique Levy (Levy Consulting) discuss the critical process of empowering leaders during times of change and how to address bottlenecks. Monique shares her approach:
It’s not always the leader as the sole bottleneck, but conversations often reveal areas for leader growth.
The fine line: “You have to hold yourself accountable in order to hold your team accountable.”
Learning from parenting: “Do as I say, not as I do” isn’t effective. Leaders must model the behavior they expect.
The gut-check moment: “Maybe some of these things are me.”
The importance of modeling the desired behavior for your team.
Asking the “who, what, when, and how” for every lofty vision or billion-dollar idea.
The power of asking “why?” and “tell me more” to help leaders see their own blind spots and resource allocation issues (budget, people).
Tune in for insights on fostering leadership accountability and effective change management.
