Continuing from the foundations laid in Episode 10 about initiative and ownership, they explore the significance of being open to feedback and a more effective 'feed forward' approach, which focuses on guiding improvement rather than criticizing past mistakes. Lisa shares practical tips and stories illustrating how coachability fosters team success and how influencing and managing up can enhance organizational effectiveness. The episode concludes with insights on developing leadership programs that incorporate these vital skills.
