In this Disruptive Impact Episode, I start off by apologizing for the poor audio quality in Tuesday's episode apparently some things got off track over the summer but I think everything is back in order! The focus on this episode is do you have to be likable to be a good leader? That is dependent on so many factors, however to keep it simple I think the answer when you think about the question further is absolutely. Here are my thoughts on why and I pose the question to listeners what do you think about it from another perspective how does it resonate for you?

This came up again recently in conversation and somebody asked a really poignant question that I hadn’t thought about previously. Have you ever had or worked for or alongside of a leader you didn’t like? If you didn’t like the person where are you doing your best work or were you truly engaged and inspired?

I thought it was a great question and it really got me thinking a little bit differently about my previous lens.(initially likability didn’t resonate with me as much as I realized later)

✨Were Trust,Transparency, and Integrity were valued and present?

✨Did you feel heard?

Sometimes we can overcome bad bosses, but typically that is short-lived and not a viable long-term solution, not to mention a burden to our mental and physical health!

This is by no stretch a comprehensive list of traits or qualities of great leaders, just merely some thoughts to get you thinking? Curious to hear your thoughts and if you have ever had a particular stance on something and then changed your mind over time?

The more I thought about this question from this perspective, truth is I do think the best leaders have a lot (and are a
