#30 - How often have you experienced ineffective leadership in your workplace that has made your job more challenging than perhaps it needed to be? For the majority of us, it would be on at least one occasion, yes? As veterinary professionals rarely are we educated on leadership ... it's not common to receive specific leadership training, instead we tend to "give it a crack" - do what we think is right, cross our fingers and hope for the best. Well, for the sake of sustainability within our profession and improving workplace culture, isn't it about time we take professional leadership seriously?
In this episode, Dr Taleta Hompas from VetLed, joins us for another inspiring conversation, where she shares with us the five pillars of leadership, what makes a "good" leader, and what we as individuals can be doing to unlock our unique leadership potential. She also challenges you to identify the three key words that describe the leader you want to be known as - an eye-opening exercise that can really help you be more intentional about the way you engage with colleagues, clients and even those people close to you.
