Who you surround yourself with matters. If you surround yourself with negative people, you will adopt that mindset and become a negative person. If you surround yourself with positive people, they can push you to be the best version of yourself. So you need to ask yourself three basic questions to get a sense of who you’re surrounded with: Does this person help make you a better version of yourself? Does this person build you up? Or does this person tear you down? Does this person help you see things from a different perspective? Or does this person just help you see things from a negative perspective? --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Workplace from Meta. Workplace is a business communication tool from Meta.

Leadership is oftentimes equated with transformation. But transformation isn't something that happens overnight. Transformation is something that takes a long time. It’s the small things that you do over time that will lead to great impact. Here are small things that you can do to be a better leader: 1. Recognize your team members - it can be as simple as saying thank you. 2. Put together diverse teams. 3. Practice self care - you need to take care of yourself so that you can in turn, take care of others. 4. Practice empathy - putting yourself in somebody else's shoes and perspectives and then responding based on that. 5. Take time to be curious. 6. Be sure you are listening instead of just hearing your people. --------------------- This episode is sponsored by Namely, the all in-one HR solution that makes life easier for your employees, your boss and you!
