Chris and Roberto dive into the reality that becoming a humane leader isn't something you learn from a single textbook or university degree. It is a continuous process of intentional practice, observing others, and refining your approach based on real-world results. They share insights on how to avoid overwhelming your team with new techniques and how to use every workplace challenge as a training ground for personal growth. ✨

Here's what we covered:

🚀 Implementing one change at a time: We discussed why coming back from training and trying to change everything at once is a mistake, and how to prioritize one skill at a time to see what actually works. 🏃‍♂️

🥪 The feedback sandwich trap: Why the traditional method of "sandwiching" criticism between compliments often fails, and how more direct, focused communication can lead to better corrective actions. 🗣️

🕵️ Learning through observation: Roberto and Chris shared how watching other leaders in action—both their successes and their failures—is one of the most powerful ways to develop your own style. 👁️

🧪 The power of experimentation: How to use "what if" scenarios to test different leadership approaches and analyze the outcomes to see which style fits your company culture. 🔬

🧘 Managing your reactions: Training yourself to remain calm and humane even in high-pressure moments, such as late-night emergencies or stressful executive demands. 📞

📉 Learning from the hard stuff: Why the toughest challenges, like managing a low performer or failing a project, are actually the best opportunities to sharpen your leadership skills. 🧗

Leadership is an ongoing journey that requires both life experience and the willingness to fail smart. This week, we focus on how to turn everyday workplace interactions into a personal training program for becoming a more compassionate and effective leader.
