We Learn to be Great Leaders Through Hardship and a Curiosity Mindset - Carrie Cahill Ep.55
Carrie Cahill shares her background in HR and executive coaching, highlighting the importance of leadership development through hardship. She emphasizes the need for leaders to be able to operate effectively in adversity and to have a curiosity mindset. She also discusses the gap between being a great manager and a true strategist, and the importance of teaching people how to lead. Cahill suggests that leaders should have someone in their corner who can provide honest feedback and help them break the dialogue with their ego. She also emphasizes the need for organizations to focus on developing leaders and creating a culture that values leadership development. The conversation explores the dynamics between immediate supervisors and leaders two levels up in a hierarchical organization. They discuss the importance of having a supportive immediate supervisor who can be a mentor and friend, as well as the role of leaders two levels up in providing guidance and discipline. They also touch on the concept of the Peter Principle, where individuals are promoted to positions of incompetence, and the need for leaders to develop their people and evaluate them for roles before promoting them. The conversation emphasizes the importance of having hard conversations, establishing trust and respect, and focusing on confidence, competence, character, and commitment as key qualities of effective leaders.
