“I find that a lot of leaders do not like to engage with their people in a discussion about the change because they feel like their lack of answers will leave them exposed as not capable. It’s such a flawed paradigm because it’s really naive to think that any leader would have all the answers.” Curtis Bateman emphasises the mindset to lead change on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“As a leader, I’m always looking to find ways to help not only me be successful, but to help people grow and become more successful, because I think that creates a multiplying effect.” Curtis Bateman talks about what he wants as a leader on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“So if you hit a stumbling block, a sandpit, if you hit a brick wall, whatever it is, you still have that to fall back on because the very most exciting change can hit obstacles. If we don’t have a vision, then it still hasn’t been exciting, it’s just stuck.” Creating a Vision for Change with Curtis Bateman on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
