    A must listen to Leaders. David and Ahmed share proven leadership behaviors for leaders to be more effective and impactful together with their teams.

    Episode key Highlights:
    • David named Milton Hershey as the leader who inspires him as Milton blends leadership and values because he discovered a better way to do philanthropy.
    • Milton started a business (Hershey) and then used that to fund a philanthropic effort. He gifted his ownership in the company into a trust that funds a school for orphans.
    • Leaders behaviors that support innovation culture have to non-judgmental and inviting to the team’s ideas, improvements, suggestions, or innovations. One example would be to comment on the idea saying, “that's a great suggestion. What would have to be true for this idea to work?” OR ask, “OK, what else?”
    • Servant leadership is to figure out what's blocking teams from doing the things that they need to do, from getting the things that they want to get, figure out what's blocking them, and remove them.
    • Confident humility means you’re confident in your skills, knowledge, and ability to get the job done. But you also recognize that you are not the most important person in almost any room.
    • David argues that people want to join a cause and don’t want to join a company in his book Pick a Fight: How Great Teams Find a Purpose Worth Rallying Around.
    • David's POV is that as individuals, we exist as part of larger networks. Our role is to build a connection with the right people and provide value to the whole network/industry, which is, in essence, has no end as it’s part of the community. Basically, you end up creating value for the whole society.

  • The faster we can build empathy and the greater the likelihood of pursuing a meaningful DEI agenda as something close to our hearts and not just something close to the paper that we write our agenda.
  • Historically, Performance was prioritized, so What people did is more important than how they did it, which meant that as long as you’re delivering, then the nature of your behaviors and your interactions was allowed to be overlooked.
  • There is work to do on the leader's part on how to correct the past's unethical and immoral behaviors.
  • The good company asks themselves what I want the stakeholders to remember us and how to make choices that benefit the company and provide beneficial services.
