Brad Lomenick | 3 Steps to Effective Leadership & Getting the Feedback You Need to Succeed

In today’s episode, we cover leadership with Brad Lomenick. Brad is a leadership consultant, speaker, founder of BLINC, and author of The Catalyst Leader and H3 Leadership. He writes about leadership, the next generation, creativity, innovation, social media, teamwork, and personal growth.

Effective leadership is built on a few powerful traits anyone can learn, but what are they, what is the difference between an effective leader and an ineffective one, and what can you do to be an effective leader without being in a leadership position?

What to Listen For

What are the different levels of burnout and what can you do if you’re feeling burnt out?
What can you do as a leader to encourage your team to hold you accountable for your faults and blindspots?

The Biggest Leadership Myths & How to Assume Leadership - 9:59

What are the biggest myths about leadership?
What are the two types of people who want to be leaders and why is one not cut out for the role?
What can you do to be a leader if you are regularly jumping from one company to another?
What can you do to be proactive about being a leader rather than waiting to be recognized as one?

Ineffective vs Effective Leadership - 21:08

How does social media identify and highlight the ineffective leaders, placing poor examples of leadership in front of people around the world?
How can a leader exemplify the hustle mentality and powerful humility?
How do you build trust with your team when you are brand new and your team doesn’t know you?

It seems as if the loudest “leaders” get the most attention, but getting someone’s attention or drawing an audience do not make someone a leader. The most effective leaders can lead from a place of trust and humility. They get buy-in from those around them by getting to know them and building a genuine relationship. If you want to be an effective leader, you must be willing to listen to the people around you and open up to them so they can connect with you.
