Legal Grounds | Ryan Crittenden On Choosing Your Mentors Intentionally, Playing to Your Strengths, & What It Takes to Create a Team
Manage episode 498630869 series 2775981
We talk plenty on this program about how frustrating it can be to try and function under poor leadership. Even if the team is strong, if they don’t know (or worse, understand) their direction, then it will always be an uphill battle.
But my guest this week faced a situation I don’t know if we’ve ever covered on the show:
What do you do when the Leader you THOUGHT you wanted to be collides with who you want to be as a Person?
After serving four years in the Army, Ryan Crittenden left with mixed emotions but a passion for leadership.
He would go on to earn his Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology, stepping out into the professional world, eager to take on a mentor. And while the journey that followed was far from smooth, it would become the inspiration for his latest book, “Becoming the Compass”.
Ryan and I unpack the benefits of Strengths-Based Coaching, how building your talents shouldn’t start at the bottom of your skill-set, and the unbreakable link between Trust and Time.
Enjoy the show.
