3 key takeaways for anyone navigating their own leadership journey:
Leadership is About Flexibility: Dale emphasizes that great leaders adapt their style as needed. Effective leadership isn’t about sticking rigidly to one approach—it’s about knowing when to step in, step back, or let others take the lead.
Communication is a Learned Skill: Contrary to popular belief, being a great communicator isn’t something you’re just born with. With self-awareness, practice, and the right tools, anyone can improve (and should keep improving!) how they connect with others.
Daily Reflection Builds Better Leaders: Dale shared a simple but powerful habit: at the end of each day, write down two things you did well and one thing you’d do differently. This helps build confidence, encourages growth, and keeps you moving forward.
