Your job as a leader is to communicate, and I'm a big believer in transparency, and in doing so you have to share the good, the bad and the ugly with the team, and I mean not just your right hand or your director community, but I mean through the organisation, because if everybody knows the reality of good and bad, you can start to do something about it.
What makes a great leader, especially during challenging times? Claire Midwood, the CEO of Amorelie and former senior executive at Adidas, sits down with Lysha Holmes to tackle this very question. With her extensive background in leadership, Claire shares her thoughts on the qualities that global leaders should embody today. She emphasizes the need for transparency and open communication, suggesting that leaders should be honest about both successes and setbacks.
According to Claire, this kind of openness helps teams face challenges head-on. But leadership isn't just about guiding others; it's also about making smart hiring choices. Claire advises looking beyond functional skills to focus on personality and behavioral traits when bringing new people on board. This approach can help build a more cohesive and resilient team. For working parents juggling multiple responsibilities, Claire offers practical advice on achieving a balance between professional duties and family life.
She acknowledges the unique challenges faced by parents in the workforce, especially in the post-COVID-19 era where work culture is continually evolving. Throughout the episode, Claire’s insights are not just theoretical but grounded in her own experiences as a leader and a parent. If you're interested in how to lead effectively, hire wisely, and maintain a healthy work-life balance, this episode is a must-listen.
