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.

Patrick Leddin | How To Turn Disruption Into Your Greatest Leadership Advantage

When it comes to periods of disruption, most of us have learned to treat it like a bad storm - something you do your best to avoid, but if you do encounter it, you just hunker down and wait for clearer skies to return.   But is it possible that we’ve misunderstood the true nature of disruption? That disruption is the very force that helps us to do work that matters - or as my guest writes in his book, to “live a good life”?   In this episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe [https://tanveernaseer.com/LBCpodpage],” I speak with Dr. Patrick Leddin about his New York Times bestselling book “Disrupt Everything - and Win [https://amzn.to/4cSfSim],” he co-authored with legendary storyteller James Patterson, and how leaders can transform disruption from something to endure into a powerful driver to achieve a sense of purpose, and lead their teams to meaningful and lasting success. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Margaret Andrews | How Self-Management Transforms the Way You Lead Others

Most leaders come to leadership development hoping to find tools that will fix their employees. What Margaret Andrews reveals in this episode of Leadership Biz Cafe [https://tanveernaseer.com/LBCpodpage] is that the real work of leadership starts somewhere else entirely - with understanding and managing yourself first.   In this episode, Harvard instructor and author Margaret Andrews introduces her MYLO (Manage Yourself to Lead Others [https://tanveernaseer.com/LBC203lnk1]) approach, a four-stage framework built on the insight that we can only lead others effectively once we understand who we are, who we want to become, and what stands between the leader we are today and the one we're capable of being.   You'll learn how to develop genuine self-understanding, apply it through practical self-management, and use both to lead others with greater clarity, empathy, and resilience, including how to navigate upward through challenging relationships with your own leaders. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
