Lessons from the Congo Basin: Transforming Leadership

In this episode of the People Dividend podcast, Mike Horne interviews Maria Brinck, a global leadership expert, about her book 'The Leadership We Need' and the necessary shifts in leadership paradigms. They discuss the importance of a strengths-based approach, lessons from indigenous leadership, and the need for leaders to engage with their teams authentically. Maria emphasizes the significance of self-knowledge and the balance between traditional and modern leadership styles to foster innovation and create thriving environments for people and ideas.

“Indigenous leaders show that leadership is not about them. It's all about the people around them. “

Maria Brinck

‍

We can have the numbers and consistent performance over time. The key factor is to get to know the people on your team, get to know what their core values are. Ask the right questions, get to know their purpose, get to know their unique strengths, as well as your own. - Maria Brinck

‍

The leaders of today are simply not the leaders of tomorrow. We cannot continue with the type of leadership we have. -  Maria Brinck
