How to Build an Enlightened Leadership Team | Matt Poepsel | S6 E12

Leadership development requires focus by leaders across an organization.   On this episode of the creator community, we’ll learn the impact of that focus and where to begin the leadership journey. Key Points:   * You must first learn to lead yourself before you can lead other people, other teams or organizations.   * Enlightened principles have been around for 2500 years, but we can incorporate them and draw inspiration from them in our modern workplace.   * There is an opportunity to move beyond our own self-interest and start to recognize places for compassion, mindfulness and wisdom in today’s leadership.   Author Bio: Matt is a father, a leadership expert and “The Godfather of Talent Optimization”. He has 20+ years experience as a software product executive and consultant. After serving in the US Marine Corps, he was shocked to learn that most organizations underinvest in leadership development.    He’s now on a mission to teach leaders to liberate themselves from outdated beliefs and practices. He holds an MBA, a Ph.D. in Psychology, and a Certificate of Management Excellence from Harvard Business School which may explain why his bride thinks he’s a huge nerd. 👋CONNECT WITH THE AUTHOR👋 Author: Matt Poepsel Book Name: Expand the Circle: Enlightened Leadership for Our New World of Work Order Here:  [coming soon] Website: http://mattpoepsel.com [http://mattpoepsel.com]   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattpoepsel/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattpoepsel/] Instagram: @mattpoepsel TikTok: @mattpoepsel YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mattpoepsel [https://www.youtube.com/@mattpoepsel] Twitter: 📚CONNECT WITH THE PUBLISHER📚 https://www.newdegreepress.com/ https://www.instagram.com/newdegreepress/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/new-degree-press https://www.facebook.com/NewDegreePress https://twitter.com/NewDegreePress https://www.youtube.com/c/NewDegreePressAuthors   🔥 QUESTIONS 🔥 publishing@newdegreepress.com [publishing@newdegreepress.com]   📕🖋Write Your Book📕🖋 https://manuscripts.com/ [https://manuscripts.com/] 🎙️Connect with the Show Host🎙️ https://www.johncsaunders.com/ [https://www.johncsaunders.com/] https://www.linkedin.com/in/jcs-optimizer/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jcs-optimizer/] https://www.instagram.com/jcs_optimizer/ [https://www.instagram.com/jcs_optimizer/] #Leadership #TalentOptimization #ExpandTheCircle #WritingCommunity #Books #ModernAuthors    The Creator Community podcast is brought to you by these New Degree Press Partners   https://pubvendo.com/ [https://pubvendo.com/]  A DISRUPTIVE DIGITAL AGENCY, FOR BOOK PUBLISHERS AND AUTHORS.   https://zopto.com/home [https://zopto.com/home] LinkedIn Lead Generation, Like You Always Imagined
