Building Transparent Leadership Through Micro Courage with CB Bowman
Manage episode 391895338 series 3325085
Michelle welcomes the extraordinary CB Bowman-Ottomanelli, an illuminating force in leadership and courage. CB is set to release her upcoming book, "Courage to Leap & Lead," and today's discussion revolves around what it truly means to be a courageous leader in the face of the seismic shifts we're experiencing.
This conversation covers the seven pandemics reshaping our world, from COVID and social injustice to economics, climate change, mental health, war, and the workforce attitude. CB sheds light on the confusion leaders face in today's cancel culture, where authenticity and empathy are crucial but seemingly at odds with the prevailing norms.
The conversation takes a profound turn as CB introduces the concept of "micro courage" and redefines courage as a series of small, impactful acts. The duo explores the importance of connection, empathy, and feeling like one to build a culture of trust within organizations. Michelle shares her revelation about the power of illuminators – leaders who lean in, find common ground, and show genuine interest, fostering a culture of connection.
