Humans instinctively act in one of two ways when faced with a fear stimulus: Fight or Flight.
 
This principle indicates that, when faced with a scary situation, people will either attack the genesis of the fear, or run from it.
 
Leaders attack; but it may not be a natural response to such stimuli for every leader.
 
In this episode, I'm thrilled to have Dr. Robert Beam, Associate Medical Director of Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Winston-Salem, NC, with me as we discuss the topic of fear in leadership. As a healthcare leader with decades in the industry, Dr. Beam will give us his take on the role of fear as a leader, how to handle it, and how to thrive in spite of it.

Episode 7: Peer Leadership (with Nick Rossovskij)

Being a leader is hard. Being a young leader can be even harder.

I’m Tyler Ross. I’m a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, combat veteran, and current operations executive. This podcast is intended for young leaders, employers of young leaders, and anyone interested in studying the art, science, and psychology behind successfully leading teams as a young professional.

Don’t let age keep you from leading. Don’t set limits for yourself because of perceived boundaries. Leverage your own abilities, and those of your teams, to accomplish the mission.

Age is a mindset, but leadership is a calling.
