96. Others Over Self® Leadership with Shelly Rood
Episode description
Are you a leader who cares about serving others, especially those who have served your country?
With our guest, Shelly Rood, we begin by talking about how to honor and work most effectively with those who sacrifice so much for us, those who serve in our armed forces. Hint: It goes way beyond (but doesn't take much more effort than) saying "thank you for your service."
We talk about the different military cultures and the values that make former military members stellar employees. If you lead someone who served you'll leave with new leadership insights.
Our conversation then broadens to topics that are important for any leader:
- The value of staying curious
- How to walk the fine line of putting others needs first without slipping into dangerous self-sacrifice
- What real self-care is
- The power of peer support groups
- The value of grounding yourself in self-knowledge before jumping into giving mode
- The power of letting others give to you
Trigger warning: We do briefly discuss suicide statistics and abuse. Please take care of yourself and come back to this episode at a different time if needed.
