Episode 598: How to Be an Egoless Leader and Turn ANY Team Into Champions with Erika Wykes-Sneyd: The Leadership Series Part 3

Today we have the final installment of our three-part Leadership Series for you, where we’ve been discussing how to build a winning team. In this special series we  interview extraordinary leaders, and not necessarily just business owners, and we’ve already highlighted leaders in the film industry as well as a leader in the field of athletics. In this episode, Jen talks with our friend, the amazing Erika Wykes-Sneyd, about how to be an egoless leader and turn ANY team into champions, which is something she has a lot of insight in!  Erika is the Vice President of Adidas’ Three Stripes Studio, and since joining the company in 2021 as the Vice President of Originals Basketball and Partnerships, her dedication to embracing cultural change and disruption underpinned the move to her current role as the founder and head of the brand’s dedicated Web 3 team. Erika has an extensive resume, including roles with Google, Boeing, Uber and more, and in this episode, she reveals the ways in which she shows up as a leader, how has been able to overcome imposter syndrome along her journey, and Erika shares her structures, strategies and formulas for turning teams around and motivating others in this process!  If this episode inspired you in some way, take a screenshot of you listening on your device and post it to your Instagram Stories, and tag us, @jameswedmore, @jeunejenni and @heyerikaws. One of the reasons I’m doing this leadership series is that Jen and I are so passionate about cultivating leadership within yourself and your team, if you want to grow a great business and discover new levels of unleashed performance in your life! We are so excited to announce our 3-day live, immersive and transformational workshop that we are hosting in Phoenix, Arizona, this March 29th, 30th and 31st, called Indispensable Leadership. In it, we’ll walk you through over a decade of tools, exercises and distinctions that we have embodied in our organizations in order to unleash performance in our team, and of course, ourselves.
