In this Part 1 of my two episode special "Growing Into Your Leadership" I dive into two very important topics that young leaders need to practice and master to be the best leaders possible.

The first area is performing a self audit to make sure you are aligned with where you want to go and if you are currently on that path to success. I provide a checklist that you can perform weekly and monthly to ensure you are staying true to yourself and your goals.

Part two, which will come next week will be about Storytelling Tips and Strategies and how being a better storyteller helps you become a better leader. Stay tuned for that episode.

In this episode, I'm joined by Matt Lutcavage, Vice President of Team Experience and Chief Human Resource Officer at The GIANT Company. Matt shares his experiences and insights from leading large teams in both, operations and HR.

A few takeaways from his story are these:

1. Leaders must understand what the undesireable jobs are in their organizations in order to relate and be able to connect with those performing those needed roles.
2. Performance is often measured by results compared to one's potential, not relative to those around them.
3. Understanding when it's important to give credit vs. take credit for work and successes.

Welcome to Episode 00 of Let's Lead (LL) with myself, David Brantley.

Here, I go into a brief background on who I am, what you can expect from this podcast, and why I want to launch this. I'm so excited to bring you this show, I've wanted to do this for so long. The reason for the delay was for being a little uncomfortable with the lack of the unknown, the lack of experience.

But, it is 2021 and it's time to take these fears head on.  Let's build an amazing community together.
