In this episode Steve and Craig discuss:

  • Focusing on solutions
  • Togetherness in work 
  • Showing security as a leader
  • Reinventing yourself 

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • It’s time to stop talking about what we can’t do and time to start talking about how we can do them. Create solutions, rather than boundaries. 
  • Don’t just work together, be together in work - let everybody do their best and collaborate to make their best even better. 
  • Be the kind of leader that allows your people to disagree with you without fear. Create a culture of compassion for each other despite being in different departments. 
  • Embrace reinventing yourself often.

 

“I felt like I had to create a version of myself to be successful. I felt like all my trainings were ‘how to be someone different to succeed.’ But I’m not a very good version of anybody else but myself.” - Craig Ungaro
