How well do you really know the people you lead? What if each person on your team needs a completely different approach to thrive? Are you trying to make everyone take off like a helicopter when some need a three-mile runway? Transform your leadership effectiveness by discovering why painful levels of self-awareness unlock your ability to truly lead your people on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette and Cory Geffre. Cory brings over three decades of healthcare leadership experience, leading hospitals and large teams through transformation in one of the most complex industries on earth. Listen as Cory explores:
☀️ Why painful levels of self-awareness are the foundation of great leadership ☀️ How to create custom leadership roadmaps for the key people on your team ☀️ The game-changing practice of knowing each person's unique "cooling off period" ☀️ Why discipline and routine create space to manage chaos in unpredictable environments ☀️ The least selfish thing you can do: take care of yourself first so you can serve others better
Cory transforms how leaders think about their teams by proving that understanding each person's unique way of operating creates cultures where everyone can take off and soar.
🔑 Key Insight: "I have helicopters—do this tomorrow, lift off. And I have people who are like a 747—they need a 3-mile runway and clear skies to take off. My job is to know that so I can give them enough time to take off, because how quick they take off isn't as important as them just taking off."
💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Identify the cooling off period for each key person on your team. Who's a helicopter? Who needs a runway? Then adjust your follow-up timing accordingly. Stop expecting everyone to process feedback and take action at your pace.
