Jonathan Raymond: Good Authority

Jonathan Raymond is the founder of Refound, where he and his team work with organizations to create a company culture based in personal growth. He’s the author of the book Good Authority: How to Become the Leader Your Team Is Waiting For* and the creator of the The Good Accountability course*.

Key Points

People often separate their career goals from the personal development goals, and it doesn’t have to be that way.

Leaders often have a quick chat and then leave the conversation without actually making any deep connections.

We often don’t ask a question and leave it enough time to breathe.

Employees get lots of feedback, but it’s often not helpful feedback.

Think about feedback as a diagnostic tool.

Leaders no longer need to be the problem solvers — they need to help make space for others to solve problems.

Employees are looking for emotional transparency.
