Are leaders allowed to fail?
In this episode of Mercycast, I talk with leadership consultant Bob Kaplan to explore the intersection of compassion, leadership, and personal growth. Bob Kaplan is the author of the new book GRAPPLING: Leaders Striving To Improve, a series of short stories that bring executive coaching to life. The book is based on his decades of experience consulting CEOs, founders, and senior leaders. He is the founder and president of his own leadership consulting firm, Kaplan DeVries. We discuss the importance of embracing failure as a learning opportunity, the role of mercy and connection in relationships, and how suffering can impact leadership dynamics. Kaplan shares insights on overcoming imposter syndrome through positive feedback and the significance of building trust and confidence in leadership roles. In this conversation, we both explore the nuances of compassionate leadership, emphasizing the importance of balancing productivity with personal connection. We discuss the concept of healthy selfishness, feedback's impact, and self-care's necessity in leadership roles. The dialogue culminates in a reflection on personal growth and the faith required to navigate challenges in leadership.
