Who You Are is How You Lead with Rachel Rider - The Authority Podcast 61
Rachel is a master coach and founder of MettaWorks. She had a distinguished career in HR and has since coached hundreds of business leaders at companies like GitHub and Okta, helping them become high-functioning and self-optimized.
Her book is Who You Are is How You Lead.
In this episode, Ross and Rachel (not that Ross and Rachel) discuss:
- What gets you into a “leadership position” isn’t the same as what you need to do once you’re in that position. How does it change?
- Habitual and emotional responses vs. thinking
- How Rachel’s coaching questions differ from the norm
- What makes a leader coachable?
- “Work is where your demons go to hide.”
- Is it possible to teach interpersonal skills?
- Importance of lived experience
