Liane Davey | The Real Reason Burnout Keeps Getting Worse Despite Everything Leaders Are Doing

Kimberly Davis | Why Bravery Is Something You Do, Not Feel

We tend to think of bravery as a feeling, as this sudden jolt of courage that appears when we most need it. But what if bravery has less to do with how you feel and everything to do with what you actually do?   In this episode of "Leadership Biz Cafe [https://tanveernaseer.com/LBCpodpage]," Kimberly Davis, author of "Brave Leadership [https://tanveernaseer.com/LBC211KD01]," reveals why being brave leaders means earning your people's want to follow you, not their obligation to - and why doing that requires getting clear on your "Super Objective," the impact you're committed to having, then taking action on it instead of waiting for the perfect moment.   Whether you're navigating your own leadership journey or helping others navigate theirs, this conversation will give you a practical way to get clear on your intended impact, manage the tension that pulls you off course, and understand what bravery actually asks of you. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Liane Davey | The Real Reason Burnout Keeps Getting Worse Despite Everything Leaders Are Doing

We’ve been talking about burnout for years. But despite more awareness, more resources, and more conversations about workload, the problem isn’t going away. So what are we missing?   Organizational psychologist and bestselling author Liane Davey has an answer … and it’s one most leaders have never considered. In this episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe” [https://tanveernaseer.com/LBCpodpage], Liane introduces the concept of “thoughtload” - the hidden interplay of attention, emotions, and energy that determines whether we and our teams can do our best work - alongside practical strategies for how leaders can better manage it.   Drawing from her new book “Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work [https://amzn.to/3SZi7dq]”, Liane walks us through both the practices leaders can use to protect their attention and focus, and what they can do as leaders to help their teams do the same.   It’s an honest and practical conversation for any leader who wants to understand what’s actually driving the anxiety, disconnection, and exhaustion they see around them … and how to do something about it. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

There's a leadership role most of us instinctively gravitate toward - especially during periods of change and uncertainty. But while it may feel like the most natural and correct role for us to play as leaders, the fact is it won’t help us to empower our employees to bring their best and ensure our collective success.   In this Leadership Espresso Shot [https://tanveernaseer.com/LBCpodpage], Tanveer draws on the principles of storytelling to reveal something unexpected about where a leader's true power lies … and where most leaders tend to misplace it.   Using three compelling stories, he explores a fundamental dynamic that shapes whether your people grow and thrive, or remain dependent on you to get things done.   This episode will help give you a fresh perspective on what leaders should be doing right now to meet today’s challenges and, in the process, bring out the best in those you lead. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Sabina Nawaz | How Leadership Blind Spots Turn Good Managers Into Bad Bosses

Most leaders believe they're doing a better job than they actually are. Global studies show that while managers rate themselves highly in terms of their effectiveness, less than a third of their employees agree with that assessment.   So what’s behind this gap and is there anything leaders can do to address it, without adding even more to their full plates?   In this episode of "Leadership Biz Cafe [https://tanveernaseer.com/LBCpodpage]", global C-suite executive coach and former Microsoft executive Sabina Nawaz reveals why even the most well-intentioned leaders develop blind spots and self-sabotaging habits that quietly damage their teams - and what you can do to avoid it.   Drawing from her bestselling, award-winning book "You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need) [https://tanveernaseer.com/LBC207lnk1]", Sabina introduces her framework of Power Gaps and Pressure Pitfalls - the hidden forces that grow in proportion to your authority and stress - and shares practical and easy to implement strategies for recognizing and overcoming them.   Whether you're a new manager or a seasoned executive, this conversation will sharpen your self-awareness, improve how you communicate and give feedback, and help you become the leader your team actually needs. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
