In this week’s episode, I speak to Joe Staples, CCO and Partner at Mother Industries.
Join us whilst we discuss why you must stop claiming that you have it all together as a leader and just be honest about with where you are. The “I’ve got it” attitude will only build a barrier between you and your team and it’s time to embrace more transparency in the workplace to create stronger teams.
Joe also delves into his mental health journey and his experiences living with ADHD and Dyslexia while leading large teams. He also opens up about what he learned while navigating anxiety and panic attacks as a leader.
Key takeaways include:
● The art of keeping it simple to drive innovation and creativity
● The ability to solve problems and elevate how you think
● The parallels of jiu-jitsu and the creative process
● The importance of moving through your fears and not allowing them to take over
● The key to staying relevant is to consume content that is new to you, not just what
interests you
