Here's a throwback episode from Jan 2023. A Leader of Character does what's right! But what does that mean? By who's measure and perspective?

As a new leader, Ms Dava is learning how hectic things can get when you're trying to herd cats! Chief suggests that she delegate more. She agrees. But how? Cheif suggests four areas to consider: Trust, Competence, Observation, and Agreement. They share some thoughts on what those terms mean and how to apply them. Chief challenges Ms Dava to assess how she does in each of those areas to continue to grow as a leader.

Ms Dava and Chief discuss the merits of cursing in public. THERE ARE NONE! But why do people do it? Do they not have better words? Are there better words? Yeah, it's a choice. Life is a choice. Character is a choice. Just don't do it around Chief! Better yet, just don't do it at all!

What IS success to you? Is it the same for all of us? SOME of us? Maybe. Ms Dava and Chief discuss the path toward success and what guides us toward it.

How does one create hope? Where does it come from? You've heard that hope is not a strategy, but it's a powerful energy to help propel us toward success. Chief and Ms Dava share their perspectives on hope.

Do you have favorites? Are you human? If the answer to the second question is yes, then the answer to the first is too. We ALL have favorites! But how do you deal with that as a Leader of Character. Listen to Chief's and Ms Dava's thoughts.

You've heard the adage, that honesty is the best policy. But IS It? Are there times when it's not? Are there times when you should speak the truth and nothing but the truth? When is that appropriate? Are there different consequences for being honest and for not being honest? Chief and Ms Dava ponder these questions a provide their unique perspectives on the topic.

As Simon Sinek says, "We're better together." There are few, if any, things that we can do by ourselves. Most of our successes will be driven by the strength of our relationships with others. Maintaining relationships can be one of the most difficult parts of leading but incredibly fulfilling when they're in sync with our purpose. Ms Dava shares some of her success in developing and maintaining relationships as a boss, even as young and new to leading as she is.
