Transcript
Hello and welcome to episode 195 of the Leadership Today podcast where each week we share practical tips to improve your leadership. This week we look at five ways to take a broader perspective. Over time it's easy to fall into the trap of narrow thinking. Our minds can become confined to familiar sources of information and limited perspectives from the people around us. To excel as leaders, we need to break free from this thinking rut and embrace new ways of approaching challenges. Here are five ways to expand our horizons, foster innovation, and become more effective leaders.
As leaders, it’s important to recognise the risks of falling into a thinking rut. To thrive in the face of challenges, we must actively break free from our comfort zone and expand our horizons. Reading widely, seeking diverse viewpoints, staying informed about industry trends, encouraging feedback, and using data and analytics are great strategies to become more effective and innovative leaders. Try applying one of these approaches this week and let me know how you go.
