In Episode 19 of The HQ podcast, we are joined by Neil Pretty, CEO and Co-Founder of Aristotle Performance. During our conversation, we discuss how leadership has changed since the onset of the pandemic and how, as a result of the pandemic, some leaders adopted a command-and-control style of leadership. We address important questions such as:
– What is the command-and-control style of leadership?
– What is the impact of this leadership style on staff, psychological safety, and on those that lead our teams – and how does all of this enable or hinder our goal for equity, diversity and inclusion?
– What can leaders do to reflect on and examine their own leadership style to help make the shift away from a command-and-control style of leadership?
– How can all of this bring about a great sense of belonging and connectedness, including for our leaders who may otherwise feel alone and isolated?
Tune in as we unpack these questions and gain insight from a thought leader who has been on the leading edge of developing at-scale solutions for increasing workplace psychological safety from the earliest days of the pandemic.
