“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.

“If you want to know what your culture is and if you want to shape it, you have to audit who is being hired, fired, and promoted because those are the types of behaviours that you’re really showing. Yes, these are true values and some of the ways that we can shape culture is around what are our policies around the way that people behave.” Making sure that our workplace culture is hitting in the right direction with Alexis Haselberger on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“If we want any kind of change around the amount of time that we’re working or what are the standards and things like that, we actually have to think about how we work during the day because most people that I work with, their time during the 9 to 5 during the day is like 80 to 90% meetings.” Alexis Haselberger about our communication norms in the workplace on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
