Audio question from Susan on how to develop strategic skills.
- Bonni recommended On Competition* by Michael Porter
Question from Mark
- I just wanted to let you know I have been listening to the coaching for leaders podcast since somewhere around episode 100. Recently an opportunity came by to become team leader of the engineering department I worked in. Listening to the podcast for a while gave me enough mental support to take the step! Thank very much. I find that there are certain pro's and con's of assuming a leadership position coming from within the team instead of coming from outside the department of even outside the company. Maybe you can address this in an upcoming Q&A show.
- Dave also suggested a listen to the beginning of episode 120, with a more detailed response to a similar question
Audio question from Diana
- Dave suggested episode 148 with David Hutchens for a fantastic foundation on storytelling
Question from Guto
- I listen to your programs daily – Coaching for Leaders and Carnegie Coach – and this has helped me a lot to improve as Manager and Coach. I have a training project and wanted a your tips. The idea is to make a leadership development program, and the topic is: Lead yourself. As the program will mix coaching with training, I thought to use some coaching tools such as wheel of life, personal SWOT analysis, and mission & purpose. However the module requires 4 hours of training. My program so far has given two hours of training. What do you recommend to do more as a way of self-knowledge to train leaders to make a difference in business and in their teams?
