In episode 96 of the podcast, I speak with Melissa Chapman, CEO of Jungle Creations.
Join us as we discuss how to effectively overcome resistance to change within your
organisation by approaching it in a way that makes people feel like you are all in it together.
Melissa also discusses the challenges of having ADHD when it came to her habits as a leader and why giving herself permission to be her authentic self allowed her to fully embrace who she is as a leader.
Key takeaways include:
● How courage is being willing to break the norms and focus on the future
● The blend of courage and guardian leadership in an organisation
● The pros and cons of transitioning from Co-CEO to CEO
● Practicing patience and valuing different working styles within the team
● Utilising stress and challenge as a catalyst for growth
● The importance of saying no and managing expectations with the team
● Why we need a balance of optimism and pessimism to grow
● Managing measured risk and the importance of timely decision-making
● The fine line between resilience and recognising when to let go
● Why you must recognise your worth and ask for what you feel you deserve
