#MindsetMonday - S2 Ep5 Tear Down or Build Up?

George Couros starts this #MindsetMonday with a story from his time coaching basketball. Couros’ reflection on this story brings up the question about what type of lead we want others to follow. We all have struggles; when we interact with others, it is important to think about whether the conversations being had tear others down or lift others up. Quotes (PIP): What is the lead that you want others to follow? How do your actions and interactions impact others? Is this a space where we are tearing down or where we are elevating? Clip Description: George Couros shares a story about asking questions to understand, an idea inspired by Stephen Covey’s work: “seek first to understand, then to be understood.” Couros reflects on a referee who called him out on the way he was interacting with others during his time coaching basketball. From this interaction, Couros learned more about the way that we communicate as leaders and how this impacts others. Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.
