“Don’t be scared to reach out and ask for help. Seek support. One of the superpowers of modern leaders is being vulnerable.” Burnout and defensiveness by Martin Bean on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“I think what we all need to be prepared to do is to not impose our historically valued structures on what we think of as work and life, but instead go back to being the coach that our people need. Embrace every single individual on our team, dial into their life circumstances and what’s important to them. Trigger the why and help them understand the why. And then they’ll be right with you like never before” Martin Bean talks about value clashes and pushbacks on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“An inspiring great leader is somebody that inspires others to act.” Martin Bean describes what an inspiring leader is on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
