b"Josh, Kelsey, Jake, and Jonathan discuss Monday's interview with Phil Darke, president at Providence World. They discuss their experiences with mentorship, what it means that \\u201cleadership doesn\\u2019t always make sense,\\u201d when to delegate, and their thoughts on personality assessments (mainly, the enneagram).\\nKey takeaways:\\n\\n\\n \\t* Leaders are learners\\u2014as a leader you have to be willing to grow and improve and help your followers grow and improve. Great leaders make great leaders.\\n \\t* As leaders, do not make duplicates of yourself\\u2014equip followers to be who they are meant to be.\\n \\t* Do not necessarily follow the norm. Some organizations or industries see problems as cut-and-dry. Leaders should think differently. Start at the very bottom, evaluate how the issue in question is carried out, and question whether or not it can be improved.\\n \\t* Improve each week and help others do the same. We\\u2019re not the \\u201cend of the rope\\u201d but are meant to help other people along\\n \\t* Be humble. There are many unknowns in leadership.\\n \\t* Identify the areas in your life you need to grow and find specific mentorship for your life\\u2014even if it is a number of different people.\\n\\nMusic credits:\\nDJ Quads | Cruise Around | Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quads/cruise-around\\nDJ Quads | It Just Makes Me Happy | Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quads/it-just-makes-me-happy"
