Welcome to Unlikely Leadership with Audrey. Today I will be speaking with you about accountability, responsibility, and blame. As leaders, holding yourself accountable goes hand in hand when managing a team. When a person holds themselves accountable for the completion of a set of responsibilities, blame is usually eliminated from the goal execution plan. However, when there is no clear communication on the team’s responsibilities, there can be a breakdown with proper accountability assignments. Tune in today to learn more about steering your team clear of the blame game.

Welcome to Unlikely Leadership with Audrey. Today I will be speaking with you about loss, grief, and leadership. This is a very, very tricky subject. How do you effectively show support for a team member who has experienced the loss of a loved one? Everyone knows that the standard question, how are you doing, is awkward and simply not enough. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable, will demonstrate your sincere desire to connect on a deeper level. Being there for your team member, however that needs to show up, can be the bridge builder that everyone needs to journey through a challenging time.

Welcome to Unlikely Leadership with Audrey. Today's episode is about complaining and its role in leadership. Anyone who has ever managed a team knows that things don’t always go according to plan. Even the best-laid plans can fall apart. In those instances, some leaders choose to complain about what is going wrong, instead of working on strategies to get things back on the right path. Complaining, whether overt or passive, tends to lend itself to a toxic and gossip plagued workplace environment. Tune in today to learn more about how to guide your team towards creating a new habit that includes having an attitude of gratitude even when faced with adversity, by taking the steps necessary to break free from a complaining culture.

Welcome to Unlikely Leadership with Audrey. Today I will be talking about the distinction between Mentors versus Role Models. Where you are in your career impacts how you align with professionals capable of helping you to advance. In our society, role models are often people who represent an identifiable pattern of actions or behaviors that one may aspire to implement in a given profession. Whereas, mentors are often people who have a more hands on approach that involves assistance with molding your path, offering advice and feedback, or simply acting as a sounding board. Tune in today to learn more about critical characteristics that can help you determine the right fit for you.

Welcome to Unlikely Leadership with Audrey. Today we will be discussing Vision, distinct from the concept of Ideas in leadership. When communicating with your team, are you currently taking time to ensure that everyone is on the same page of understanding as you? Clarifying what you mean when you say ideas, and defining your expectations when you share your vision, will eliminate misunderstandings or internal team friction. Tune in to learn more about effectively communicating your visions and ideas to your team.
