Episode 03: The Relationship Between Influence and Connections featuring Simon Kardynal
Show Notes
I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.
Often, either as leaders or followers, we don’t see or realize the immediate impact that we are making. In the moment (you will hear and see this a lot from me), it’s very hard to recognize that what we are doing has immediate broader ramifications than the small task being performed “right now”. But, as a leader, especially at the early (junior) stages of a leadership career, we have the most direct and powerful influence on our people.
In this episode we will discuss where leadership influence began and when does it stop (Hint: It never stops) and the importance of building connections with your team. We will do this by telling a not so successful story, followed by a success story. We will use these stories to provide some tips and tricks to help you put another tool in your leadership toolbox and help you have more success stories than cringe-worthy ones.
