Our favorite quotable moments:
"It’s kind of wild to think that the leaders of an organization, the people charged with leading others, rarely have any substantial training on how to be a good leader." - Megan Scollay-Casillas
"Do not take on the responsibilities of your team because they aren’t delivering the product you want." - Megan Scollay-Casillas
"Do get comfortable with delegation.” - Megan Scollay-Casillas
“You don’t have to be an authoritarian leader. I know that corporate America would have you believe that you have to lead with an unwavering rigidity but you do not have to be that manager. No matter how many times you’ve personally had that manager in the past. You can lead with heart, collaboration, and purpose. You can lead and allow your team to express their opinions and recommendations. You can lead and make space for your team to disagree with you in a healthy manner. You can lead and be inclusive. You can lead and allow others to shine.” - Megan Scollay-Casillas
“[The Active listening] approach fosters trust and respect between the leader and the team, promoting a collaborative environment where everyone's opinions and ideas are valued.” - Megan Scollay-Casillas
