Have you ever worked for a leader who inspired you to do your best work? Why were they able to? What was their secret? It's a question I aim to answer by sharing a personal story of working for one such leader in this latest installment of Leadership Espresso Shot for this 50th episode of my leadership podcast, “Leadership Biz Cafe”.If you're like me, you've probably had your share of horrible to mediocre bosses and if you're lucky, you've also had a few bosses who truly exemplified what it means to be a leader. And maybe luckier still, that working for these bosses not only allowed you to do some of your best work, but also helped you learned a little bit about yourself and where your real purpose lies.I can honestly say I'vehad the good fortune of working for two such leaders and althoughit's been many, many years since the time I work under theirleadership, their example and the lessons they taught me aboutleadership and how I can make a difference still echo and influencethe work I do today.And so, to celebratethe 50th episode of my leadership podcast, I'm not onlyunveiling a brand new theme for my show, but I'm using this as anopportunity to share a story about one of these leaders and what washis secret to inspiring the best from his employees. Indeed, if Iwere to put together a list of the best work I've ever done, some ofthe work I did for this leader would definitely be near the top ofthat list.And a reminder, these Leadership Espresso Shot installments are exactly what visual this name inspires – these are short, concentrated doses of leadership insights and inspiration that while short in duration, nonetheless pack a powerful punch in helping you to strengthen your leadership craft.So check out the 50th episode of my leadership podcast and if you enjoy it (as well as past episodes of my show), please be sure to share it with others to help spread the word about my podcast.https://open.spotify.com/episode/5avUslXiXME7AljyFMXic2?si=0ba3d15e2f1a4d4b

Most people who choose to become leaders do so with the best of intentions because they naturally want to succeed. So why is it still common to hear people saying they left not because of their organization, but because of their boss? That's the question I get to the heart of with leadership expert Victoria Roos Olsson in this episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe”.Victoria Roos Olsson is a senior leadership consultant working with FranklinCovey, as well as a keynote speaker and author. She has lead learning and development organisations for large corporations across Europe and the Middle East. In fact, learning is one of her key interests and she loves to learn new things, as well as passing on knowledge to see others grow. She is also the co-author of the book “Everyone Deserves a Great Manager”, which is the focus of this episode. Among the topicsVictoria and I discuss:Why one-on-one meetings are so critical to leadership success – provided you have the right mindset about how you approach them.Five energy drivers leaders can employ to boost their energy in meetings in order to be more present and engaged.The importance of taking not just small breaks, but longer ones during our work week so that we can renew and recharge and really bring our best efforts to our leadership.What signs to look out for to know it's time to ease off the drive to get things done and take a moment to catch our breaths before that next big wave of demands hits our shore.The truth about current leadership development practices in most organizations today – and how it's setting up the next generation of leaders to fail.As I mention in this episode, if you've been enjoying my leadership podcast, I'd appreciate it if you could share my show with your colleagues or your team.
