In this episode…
Sometimes, people are promoted based on their individual contributions rather than their abilities to lead a team. Consequently, they may struggle to adapt to management roles, viewing the position as a competition rather than a collaborative opportunity. How can you shift your mindset to elevate your communication style and amplify your influence?
According to community consultant Anika S. Jones, leadership is more than just high performance. As a leader, you must refine your soft skills to duplicate positive outcomes throughout your team. If you lack effective communication skills, Anika advises developing self-awareness to learn about and hone your strengths and weaknesses. She harnesses the power of relationships to boost engagement and cultivate robust teams.
