Description

“Leaders who don't listen will eventually be surrounded by people who have nothing to say.” — Andy Stanley How well do you listen? 🧐 For every problem you’re faced with — whether in your career, at home, or in your relationships — the answer is always one conversation away. You have to be willing to speak, but even more willing to listen... Stephen “Shed” Shedletzky is one of the world’s foremost authorities on leadership, organizational culture, and psychological safety in the workplace. For 10+ years, Shed has contributed at Simon Sinek, Inc., where, as Chief of Staff and Head of Brand Experience, Training & Development, he headed a global team of speakers and facilitators. He is author of new book Speak-Up Culture: When Leaders Truly Listen, People Step Up. Shed supports humble leaders — those who know they are both a part of the problems they experience and the solutions they can create — as they put their people and purpose first. Shed lives in Toronto with his wife and two young children. In this episode: • How to upgrade your career. • What it means to be a good leader. • The biggest mistakes companies make with their culture. • How to find your “why” – and live it.
