In this episode, Robert Heath, Sr. reveals that seeing the greatness in others is key to being an excellent leader. Facilitating the success of others also lessens the workload of the leader. Robert Heath, Sr. further encourages leaders to build trustworthy relationships with others, taking action on constructive feedback given to them by their team, instead of always being the ones to give the feedback. Often, team members only need simple things from their leaders, and do not seek to overwhelm them by requesting company-wide changes. Together, Sarah and Robert Heath, Sr. explore what leaders can practically do to foster a sense of belonging in the team, and encourage team members to access their greatness. Robert Heath, Sr. suggests learning coaching questions, probing, expanding, and closure, and to avoid ‘why’ questions, to open up an honest conversation. He also suggests listening attentively with the goal of actually understanding, rather than listening mindlessly, or listening to respond.
