When the pressure is coming back on, many leaders revert to their old behaviours: Managing through authority, applying pressure, controlling and micro managing, etc... although they may have worked hard in the past on becoming better leaders and managers. Why is that?  Leadership coaches Frank Basinski and Brad Solomon are digging a bit deeper and expose the mechanism in our minds that are the cause of this reaction. They also explain the mind tools necessary to resist falling back into the old, unwanted and negative behaviours.    Frank Basinski: https://www.bluehorizontrainingro Brad Solomon: https://www.ctggroup.co

In our first guest talk in 2021, we have invited four experts in leadership development to discuss about "Inclusive Leadership" and "Inclusive Company Cultures".  What is the meaning of inclusive leadership? Which traits play a role in creating an inclusive environment? What are the business impacts of maintaining non-inclusive environments? What can the average middle manager do, in order to bring awareness to the C-suite?   Frank Basinski is the owner and founder of Blue Horizon Training SRL: http://www.bluehorizontraining.ro  Brad Solomon is the Founder and CEO of The CTG Group: http://www.ctggroup.co  Ana-Maria Garbea is an HR Director and career and personal development coach   William Galton is an L&D consultant and executive coach in the UK http://www.Linkedin.com/in/williamgalton or https://www.ctggroup.co/william-galton

On the example of events on the world stage, Brad and Frank look at how disregarding key leadership traits can lead to catastrophic failure.

In this episode, Frank Basinski and Ana-Maria Garbea shed a light on an underrated, yet essential leadership skill: Self-compassion  The idea of treating yourself as you would treat a friend, is a rarely discussed leadership skill, that can help us to recover more quickly from setbacks, failure and tough times, when the stakes are high.  Deploying self compassion also generates many secondary benefits, that in turn help us make better decisions and to gain perspective and clarity.     https://www.bluehorizontraining.ro  Join the discussion on LinkedIn and follow: www.linkedin.com/in/frank-basinski

Every day, we are faced with situations in which we are somewhat dependent on the willingness of others to support what we need. It’s just a fact of life, that we cannot simply order everyone around.
