Podcast Episode 291: How to Lead When You Feel Unqualified

Jul 29, 2017 | In The Loop

In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy

In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on confidence in leadership

 

Good leaders are honest about what they know.

  • We don’t follow people who claim to know everything.
  • Good leaders admit they don’t know everything and never stop learning.

 

Good leaders let others be part of the solution.

  • Lead people into realizing their own solution.
  • If you don’t think you have everything figured out, you’re in a good place.

 

A good parent never says “because I said so.”

 

Tune in to hear Andy’s strategy for relating to his audience in his speaking.
