E151 | How to Become a Self-Evolved Leader with Dave McKeown - a podcast by Dominic Monkhouse
from 2021-07-06T06:00
Are you the founder or the leader of a fast paced organisation and you’re wondering why your once high performing team are now sort of bumbling along, barely scraping by - simply not being great anymore?
Then you need Dave McKeown, founder and CEO of Outfield Leadership. Dave’s written a fantastic book - The Self Evolved Leader, and so in this episode we discuss that and the all too common issue of Learned Helplessness.
Learned Helplessness is a situation where the founder, leader or CEO, gets the team over the line by being heroic and doing all the work themselves, or they’re the one everyone defers to because they have the technical, business or sales knowledge. They do everything themselves, they don’t bring their team up with them.
So, if you want to be a better leader, you have to become a self evolved leader and learn to get out of your way. Because if you don’t, you’re going to stop your organisation or team developing.
To learn some practical ways to become a more self evolved leader, don’t miss this latest episode of The Melting Pot. We really enjoyed this conversation with Dave, we’re sure you will too.
