Jonscott Turco talks about “The Intersection of Excited and Scared (And Sure it is the Right Thing Too)” in this episode of the Intuitive Leadership Mastery Podcast, with host Michael Light.
“If a leader doesn't admit their own failures, how do they expect a building trust to have their team take risks and risk failing. And I think that's where talking the talk, and walking it becomes very different. In terms of it's easy to say something and then go back to the way things always were. And I think that's one of the issues with clients is I work with clients and if they don't implement the changes that they've agreed to, then we have another conversation because then it becomes you know we're spending this time, we're investing time, energy, and money and in morning these changes are positive.” – Jonscott Turco
