The 9 Behaviours of Leadership-Part 1

Are leaders born that way? Probably not! Your business card may say ‘leader’ but that doesn’t mean you are one…yet. What if we took those leadership buzzwords like integrity, visionary, etc. and made them into tangible skills?

What if we looked at other behaviours of leadership and made them into skills you could develop and practice?

There is a wealth of information here – so much that we made this into a 2-part episode. In both parts, we explore the 9 behaviours of leadership – these are traits, sometimes clichés - and make them clear skills you can develop.

Developing leaders can change. Existing leaders can get better.

Our guest, David Kelly, guides us to a better understanding of words like ‘innovation’ and how to apply them and even measure their success.
