"An assumption is a belief or a way of looking at things that you think is true. But you do that without proof, without checking it, and without contextualizing it," Fawthrop explains, emphasizing how these mental shortcuts can limit our leadership potential. His philosophy centers on the belief that "everybody deserves good leadership," which he defines as leadership that makes growth feel attainable and understands the full context of team members' lives. Drawing from his diverse background across multiple industries, Fawthrop has developed an approach he calls "cultivar leadership"—inspired by the botanical term for plants intentionally selected and cultivated for specific qualities. "You can draw from [leadership examples], you know, look at all the self-management gurus, the people in your life that have been inspirations, you can draw from them, right?
Fawthrop offers workshops and ongoing guidance through his Substack newsletter, where readers can connect with his leadership insights, or reach out directly via LinkedIn or email at cultivarleadership.com.
