What makes employees confidently follow a leader in business? How does a company give their customers an amazing experience that is truly a reflection of their core values and what their business is all about? It comes down to Inspirational Leadership.
What does it mean to be an inspirational leader?
“In my eyes, inspirational leadership comes from the heart. It comes from the deep down need to want to do better… In our gut, I truly believe that most people know the right decisions to make and they know the right actions. But we second guess ourselves.” ~ Brandon Schaefer
Host Mary McCarthy talks to Brandon Schaefer, the Owner and Founder of Companeur. That’s short for company of entrepreneurs. Companeur does business consulting for entrepreneurs, CEOs, and startup founders.
Inspirational leadership is about embracing who you are and showing people the real you. It’s about being authentic.
“I think sometimes we are trying so hard to be this perfect boss or perfect leader, that we don’t always let people see that we also can make mistakes, and sometimes we don’t always go in the right direction. We’re human.” ~ Mary McCarthy
