“Great leaders have to be great teachers. We have to understand each individual and give them the right support to bring them up.” Chuen Chuen Yeo talks about the importance of knowing your people and supporting them the right way on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“We cannot achieve anything if we are alone. We have to learn to enlist other people into our cause, our mission. To do that, we might have to choose to slow down. When I look at things like speed vs. performance, a lot of leaders can do with more patience because in their hurry to get to the end state, they compromise things and they may lose a relationship that they can never repair.” Importance of relationships built on trust in leadership with Chuen Chuen Yeo on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“Performers have found a way to minimize chances of failure, but in their hearts, they have not embraced the truth that failure is part of any equation and learning experience. It doesn’t mean you are bad. It only just reflects that their approach is incorrect and it has informed you to do things differently. That’s a truth that people need to embrace to increase their resilience.” Chuen Chuen Yeo talks about working on being more resilient on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“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.
