Your Personality Has the Biggest Impact on How You Lead

The People Leaders Podcast

As a leader it can be tempting to point to team members as being responsible for team performance issues. Sometimes this is the case, but more often than not, we see a failure on the part of the leader to take different personality styles and preferences into account.

This is actually the primary job of a leader, and what sets leadership responsibilities apart from individual contributor responsibilities, so in this episode, we delve into how your personality profoundly impacts your leadership style and effectiveness.

We explore introversion and extroversion, sensorial vs. intuitive information processing, logical vs. feeling decision-making, and structured vs. flexible approaches.

By understanding and balancing these preferences, leaders can enhance their ability to connect with their team, make better decisions, and ultimately achieve greater success. Even better, they can teach their team how to do the same

Join us as we share insightful examples and practical strategies for growing into a more self-aware and adaptable leader.
