Hello, and welcome to the

leaders of impact podcast.

2

I'm Lee Griffith, a leadership

communication strategist,

3

executive coach, and your host.

4

I spent the past 20 years working

with leaders in large organizations.

5

And what I've learned along the way

is that no one really prepares you for

6

the transition from subject experts,

all around organizational advocate.

7

So, is it really any wonder that the

old tired stereotypes and corporate BS

8

continues to influence the way we lead?

9

But there is a new wave of leaders

who are doing things their own way.

10

And in this series, I'll be exploring

their stories of success and the

11

strategies that set them apart.

12

Paul: There are only two rules.

13

You have to be accountable and you

have to be prepared to give account.

14

Sheron: when I have felt that I have

given the best of myself as a leader

15

is when I have consciously questioned,

which organizations do I want to lead?

16

It can be challenging for a leader to be

in an organization that really doesn't

17

fit with their culture and values, because

you're constantly making compromises.

18

Hel: That's the point of being a leader.

19

They want to know the

way that you do things.

20

They want to know your opinion and

your choices and your decisions and

21

the real reasons for why you make them.

22

Kevin: There are some things that can

turn into wallpaper that you don't notice.

23

So the importance of surrounding

yourself with people that are new,

24

fresh perspective, that balance of

corporate memory and new ideas, I

25

think is really, really important.

26

And I didn't want to be in a position

in a year or two's time where I

27

was effectively taking value from

the organization, holding it back

28

because I was unable to change.

29

Lee: In each episode, I'll

be talking to CEOs and senior

30

leaders who dare to be different.

31

I'll be chatting with expert guests who

challenge what you've been taught in

32

your leadership development programs.

33

And I'll be sharing my own insights

and views that will help you to

34

become a more impactful leader.
