Be the Leader that Inspires Others to Follow


Listen Later

What are the leadership qualities that inspire people to follow you? There is no shortage today of people in power leading through force and intimidation. This frightening reality should serve to remind us how essential it is that the people we choose to follow lead with empathy and compassion, not coercion. 

Tamra Ryan is a nationally recognized speaker, author, and leadership expert who redefines what it means to lead with purpose and care. In this episode, she and I discuss how leaders can inspire a following through courage and conviction, as well as compassion. Tamra has a long history of empowering others to lead, and her perspectives and recommendations for what that requires are what we need to keep pushing for a better world, right now.

Build your own “followship” with the virtues that really make an impact:

  • Why it’s just as important to give grace as it is to speak your mind;
  • The four elements of leadership that capture hearts and minds;
  • And how to stick to your convictions as a leader, even in today’s delicate climate.
