Show by Digby Scott
If you lead people, there's probably something you're holding on to right now because handing it over feels risky. Maybe you've handed it over with so many conditions attached that it never really left your hands. And the conversations with the people around you have stayed small, stuck at the level of tasks and updates.In this episode I've handed over my own podcast. Katee Gray, my fractional practice manager for close to three years, takes the host's chair and asks me questions I'd never been asked. What if trust was where you started rather than something people had to earn? What would change if your time away was for generating new thinking rather than escaping? And how do you lead in a way that keeps going once you've moved on?Katee Gray has worked alongside me as a fractional practice manager and thinking partner on the practice for close to three years, and she ran the process that led to hiring my current practice manager, Jemma. She's been on the receiving end of how I hand things over, which is why she knew where to push. In Part One we explore:How starting from trust, rather than asking people to earn it, changes what a working relationship can becomeWhy task-level conversations leave me flat, and what I've noticed about meeting people where they areWhere my habit of assuming the best in people comes from, through my mum and her parentsHow the confidence and wonderance continuum helps you stay clear of arrogance on one side and imposter thinking on the otherWhy I call time away "generative time", and the planning that makes seven weeks away possibleHow burning out at 30 shaped the boundaries I hold todayWhy a leader's boundaries give everyone else permission to have their ownHow Leading Lasting Impact grew from a question I was asking myself, then heard from my clientsConnect with Katee on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kateegrayBook a time to pick Katee's brain on people, profit and process for your business: kateegray.com/#chatFind out more about Leading Lasting Impact and take the free leadership diagnostic: digbyscott.com/leading-lasting-impact
