Podcast Summary

There are dozens of leadership styles out there. How do you know which one is right for you and your company? The internet is full of self-help gurus slinging courses to level up your leadership skills. Some of them are great, but others… not so much. On today’s episode of Get IN., we sit down with two lifelong leaders to share a few must-have leadership practices that you can implement today. Heather Haas, President at ADVISA, a company focused on driving change through leadership effectiveness, and Doug Allgood, President and CEO at Blackink IT, an innovative leader in managed technology services, bring over 30 years of combined executive experience leading teams at dynamic companies across several different verticals.

In our conversation with Heather and Doug, you will learn that values are the pillars of your intentional culture and every leader has to carry that culture. They share actionable leadership skills and discuss why learning is a social process. Additionally, they offer insights into building exceptional company culture and emphasize that “leaders don't have the best answers, they have the best questions.” Tune in to hear about their first exposures to great leadership, how to interact with different personalities in the workplace, and practical steps you can take now to prepare for future leadership roles.
