What REALLY Works in Leadership: Truth & Influence

Authority, vision, truth and Influence, are the foundations of leadership. In this episode of The Leadership Toolkit, Mike Phillips welcomes Todd Holzman, a renowned figure in the realm of leadership coaching, with an illustrious career mentoring IBM's top executives and serving as the former head of organizational development at Honeywell, and founder of HolzmanLeadership.com

What truly sets effective leaders apart? Is it their inherent authority, or is there a deeper, more esoteric kernel to leadership that we're missing?

Perhaps one of the most salient takeaways from the dialogue with Holzman is the indispensable role of candor in forging authentic connections and fostering an environment conducive to growth and innovation. Candor isn't merely about transparency or honesty — it transcends these virtues, embodying a courageous confrontation of reality, a mutual quest for truth.

The Workbench: My Key Takeaways From This Episode
1️⃣ Vision Beyond Authority: Leadership is more about the vision you share and less about the authority you wield.
2️⃣ The Power of Candor: Lead with candor but ensure it is tempered with empathy and understanding.
3️⃣ Listen to Lead: Before you lead, sit back and listen. Understand the underlying currents within your team.
4️⃣ Engage with Failure: Openly engage with failure, for within its depths lie the seeds of wisdom and growth.
