Today's episode, we're tackling the crucial topics of delegation, effective follow-up, and self-accountability. Effective delegation that ends in your desired results does have an order to its madness when done right. All of us have been on the failing end of delegation whether you were the delegator or the receiver and it comes down not just delegating but how did you / they follow up and hold self and others accountable being with clear expectations and necessary information along the way.

In this episode, we'll explore the delicate balance of transparency in leadership. How can leaders maintain open communication without oversharing or being unnecessarily transparent? Transparency in leadership is often touted as essential for building trust and fostering a positive work culture. Finding balance of sharing and oversharing can be difficult at times. I find many leaders under share and hold onto information instead of putting it out there and it doesn't land well with the rest of the team. It causes uncertainty and unnecessary stress for everyone. As always, I would love to hear your thoughts and comments below. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yourmorningcommute/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yourmorningcommute/support

First off, a thank you goes to Dr. Sarah Spradlin for sharing this article that inspired today's podcast. "The Broccoli Experiment: How Facial Expressions Impact Food Love" - readers look it up. The article is funny, plus it reiterates how negative emotions can and will create negative contagions. Unfortunately they are formed all around us on the daily. Personally, I immediately started thinking about leaders and the impact on our workplace cultures. Enjoy today's episode, as I discuss this topic and then as you go through your day and your life - become more mindful of how you show up. What role are you playing as a leader and creating the workplace culture you desire to live in. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yourmorningcommute/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yourmorningcommute/support

There is nothing and I mean nothing more powerful than hearing employees at ALL levels not only define what each core value means to them personally but give examples of how it does or should show up at work.
