Episode 125: Leadership is about Building Relationships with Jeremy Hunter

Today on the podcast, I get to talk to Jeremy Hunter about what it means to be a mindful leader during our modern times. Jeremy highlights how difficult it is for leaders to manage others without learning how to first manage themselves. This is an essential step because organizations experience the consciousness of the leader. Jeremy also discusses how important it is for leaders to focus on building relationships rather than the task-at-hand and how building trust is an essential ingredient, too. We finish our conversation discussing how powerful coaching is as a tool to help people learn, develop and grow.
