This week, we're talking about the mistakes many leaders make when trying to create a culture of vulnerability and how to avoid them.

There's significant evidence that authentic, vulnerable leadership yields more engaged and productive behavior in employees. So, what does it mean to embrace vulnerability? Today we're talking about three things you can do to start creating a culture of vulnerability that builds trust and leads to a better, more efficient business.

Have you ever walked into an important meeting and wondered who the most intelligent person in the room is? Often, they are not the one doing all the talking; they are the one doing most of the listening. In today’s episode of the Champion Forum Podcast, we’re talking about the single quality that separates good leaders from great leaders: the ability to listen. While some may be impressed with how well you speak, the right people will be impressed with how well you listen. Great leaders are great listeners.

The best advice I received was never to make a permanent decision based on a temporary emotion. Unfortunately, leaders who are driven and highly motivated can create a level of pressure for themselves and their organization that breeds conflict and agitation. Most of these situations are temporary (a new product launch, the end-of-year sales push, a controversial decision, etc.), but they can have a lasting impact if you allow yourself to make permanent decisions based on your emotions.

Today's episode will look slightly different because I want to honor my co-host Lem as he joins us for his final episode. You will often hear me say that great leaders don't lead with their title; they lead with influence. As I thank Lem for his past two years with the show, I want to show you just what has made him so valuable, not just behind the mic but also behind the scenes. The qualities that made him an excellent co-host for this show are the same qualities you will want to see in your team and exhibit in your own life.
