How To Speak Like A Leader With Kate Harris

Command and control leadership. Most of us loathe these types of leaders, and I can count on one hand the organizations that need this type of leadership. The rest of us? The rest of us need authentic leaders. But here’s the kicker: we still need strong leaders. Leaders that aren’t afraid to voice their point of view… even if it’s a little spikey.

In this conversation, one of my business coaches (and an Enneagram 8) Kate Harris joins us to talk about what leadership looks like and how clarity is the first step. We talked about how there has been some buzz on social media about this “POV” trend and what point of view really means and doesn’t as a leader.

Kate puts it so eloquently: “I’m going over here, do you wanna come with?” It’s not forcing others into our way of thinking. It’s voicing what we’re going to do, what we believe, and standing strong. Those who are meant to be a part of our work will come.

Kate challenged us all to write a personal manifesto. As someone who’s already done this thanks to Kate, I can tell you that it will change the way you work and the way you talk about your work. For me, I believe work should be a joy. If you’d like to hear the whole thing send me a DM or comment on our show, and I’ll send it your way!
