Contrary to popular belief, leadership isn’t supposed to be about telling people what to do. If you are a leader, you must be able to inspire positive changes in people. By helping transform other people, you can give them access to tools and options that’ll broaden their minds and draw out their full potential. That, in turn, leads to personal success and global impact.

In this episode of The Mentee Podcast, Josh Friberg, keynote speaker at the Abundant Agent, shares his thoughts and tips on transformational leadership. He discusses how you can draw inspiration from others and also be an inspiration to others.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Be a transformational leader.
• Engage in your community and learn from others.
• Expose others to tools and options.
• Draw inspiration from others.
• Create the impact you want to see in the world.

[07:50] Transformational Leadership

Most leadership in our culture is transactional. What we truly need is transformational leadership to help people fully draw out their potential. Give people the time and space to absorb what you teach them and integrate it into their lives.

[17:51] Adapting to Change

The exchange approach moves the learning from passive to active. You must also draw on the wisdom and intelligence of other people. It’s also important to engage in your community. Learn to balance your individuality and your sense of community.

Our world’s changing at an exponential rate. An individual can’t adapt to change fast. However, people can change if they gather their collective wisdom, knowledge, and intelligence.

[27:37] The Power of the Collective

Joining with other business owners will benefit you and other business owners exponentially. If you cannot connect and collaborate with others, you become limited to yourself. You will have to carry everything on your own. Your blind spots will leave you vulnerable.

[27:37] Finding Inspirations and Options

When you connect with other business owners, you’re exposed to new thoughts and ideas. With that, you can intentionally decide what to apply to your business. Look at others not to compare but to draw inspiration and look for other options and opportunities.

[34:10] Blazing the Trail

Everyone has different intentions. And the impact of your actions will be different for everyone. If you set an example, others will learn from you and follow your lead.
