S01E18 - Leadership in the One to One Context (1 of 3)

Intrinsic First

In Episode 18, we discuss leadership in the 1-to-1 context. We emphasize that leadership is not a static thing but a set of behaviors. A key aspect of leadership is the development of an individual's skills and commitment to meet the company's needs or job requirements. We focus on leadership as a combination of directive and supportive behaviors, depending on the context and the direct report's competence and commitment. We delve into the phases of performance that individuals go through, which include phases of wanting to do something but lacking skills, having competence but low commitment, and so on. We use examples like a cross-country bike ride to illustrate how these phases apply in different situations. The episode also touches on the importance of alignment conversations, providing directive support, and understanding the transferable skills and task knowledge needed for a specific role.
