Every leader is susceptible to become a bad one, and more so the longer you are in a position of power and responsibility. With this inevitable battle ahead, counteracting toxicity should be one of your primary goals - and it starts with the person you see in the mirror. Dr. Kevin Sansberry II is joined by Kevin McDonald, University of Virginia’s Vice President for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Community Partnerships. Together, they talk about the necessary qualities of a successful leader and how to find red flags to root out before it is too late. Kevin McDonald explains the power of connecting with your team in a more personal way, helping them resolve conflicts and address issues. He also emphasizes the dangers of a close-minded leader who cannot accept criticisms and has no desire to serve others.Love the show?
