Technology Leadership and Strategic Advisor Elizabeth Bieniek shares how devaluing the unique talents that come naturally to you is the biggest self-sabotage to building a healthy culture where innovation thrives. Having successfully scaled the operations of multi-billion dollar businesses at Cisco, she knows that creating a space as a leader where your teams are excited to work in is the foundation. "Show up to work the way you wish everybody else showed up. If you are creating the environment that you want to work in, then that' creating an environment that other people want to work in." If like her you are more of a natural introvert, have the courage to raise your voice to be heard. "Nobody can hear the thoughts in your head." You can perfect an idea internally forever, but if you never voice it, you are robbing your teams of the collaboration and innovations that could spark from it.

Howard Behar, who as President took Starbucks from 28 stores to more than 15,000 across five continents. realized early on that impactful leadership is about accepting limitations. "I couldn't control everything. It was impossible." He literally flipped the script, embracing a simple, powerful servant leader approach focused on a constant curiosity and asking questions. "We weren't in the coffee business serving people. We were in the people business serving coffee." It was hard to get fired for missing your numbers. But mess with people? You were done. Empowerment in a growth environment is everything. "Let the person who sweeps the floor choose the broom." Be the servant leader who helps your people grow as humans, help them grow as professionals and help their achieve their personal goals in life.
