"You have to establish a level of trust before you can ask people to change."
Ryan Castle sits down with Mike Ashby, founder and CEO of The Breakthrough Co and Level 10 Leaders, to unpack his Forbes article on how to become a better leader. An AI critique of Mike’s guitar playing told him he cared more about avoiding mistakes than making a great sound. Plenty of experienced leaders have the same problem.
Mike also walks through six behaviours to practise, from letting go of solving problems immediately to delegating the work you enjoy. Plus a simple test for spotting a plateau: whether your ambition exceeds your team’s ability to deliver.
The six behaviours:
Let go of solving immediately
Let go of knowing, and stay curious
Let go of your judgements about other people
Coach for development, not just in the moment
Notice where you constrain yourself
Delegate what you enjoy
