How much easier would your life be if people around you took more ownership? Today, we’re talking to Leadership Development Coach & Corporate Trainer, Steffan Surdek about co-creative leadership and approaching things as a “we” instead of “just me”.
For leaders, it’s easy to become wholly self-reliant and go into take-charge/problem-solving mode right off the bat.
But, today’s guest, Leadership Development Coach & Corporate Trainer, Steffan Surdek likes to pose the question, “How much easier would your life be if people around you took more ownership?”
In this episode, we discuss:
* Co-creative leadership (and what that means)
* The 5 skills a co-creative leader has
* How to make tiny tweaks (for BIG impact)
* Why “allowing mistakes and failures” can be problematic (and what to do instead)
The end goal of co-creative leadership is to create a workplace where people can be more engaged and take more ownership – and that’s a win for everyone!
