Inside Episode 038: In this episode, we dive into the importance of leadership and how to go about doing it for projects like this.

Key Takeaways
  • Leadership is about sacrifice, not calling the shots.
  • You have to lead from the front. Leading from the back isn’t inspiring or motivating anyone.
  • You are required, by design, to do more as the leader. Never should you ever ask anyone to do more than what you’re willing to do.
  • You cannot put expectations on others that you haven’t put on yourself.
  • Leadership is a skill not intended for those who only want to be in control or in charge. You have to be benevolent, not a dictator.
  • It is important to constantly communicate your company’s story, challenges, values, and directives to the team.
  • Team buy-in is important. They should feel like they have some ownership in the grander vision.
