Ep. 60 How to Develop your Team as a Leader with Ken Black

Being seen by someone else is one of the best feelings in the world.

A dear friend gave me a necklace of three rows of clustered, bright wooden discs in every imaginable color. A necklace that she would never wear. But because she's seen my bubbly self, she knew jewelry in riotous color would not only be worn frequently, but treasured.

In this week's episode, Ken Black and I finish our conversation about the magic of values. We unpacked how knowing our core values can extend our leadership in surprising ways. Not only leading ourselves, but knowing the values of individuals on the team can people be accountable to the type of person they want to be. We problem-solve differently when we understand each other and can see each other clearly. This clarity not only helps prevent team conflicts but also aligns everyone towards a shared vision.

Integrating your values into all areas of your life brings joy at work and at home. When you show up as your true self, it creates a more joyful workplace and life. Whether you're a seasoned leader or just starting out in your career, this chat offers practical steps to figuring out what you value and how to navigate your career in a way that will feel right to you — based on your own values! You already have them. You just need to name them.
