Discussion: Connecting Your Networks and Planning vs. Implementing
Josh, Cody, Kelsey, and Michelle talk about Monday's interview with Samuel Bolen of the Jackson Leadership Foundation. They discuss the importance of using your unique position to connect your network, how to plan well before implementing the plan, what makes a leader worth following, and finding the balance between planning and implementation.\nKey Takeaways:\n- Ask the AWE question: "And What Else?" As a way to encourage feedback from others and as a way to critique yourself.\n- Ask "why not?" Because there are often not as many reasons not to pursue something as you might think.\n- There is so much value in having (or being) a person who is willing to invest the time in others so that they can become better leaders and impact their world.\n- Be able to put on the right "hat" for whatever role(s) you need to fill depending on the situation. \n- To be a better leader, position yourself as a connector of people, so that they can work together to for maximum impact.\n\nMusic credits:DJ Quads | Cruise Around | Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quads/cruise-aroundDJ Quads | It Just Makes Me Happy | Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quads/it-just-makes-me-happy
