This quote will stick with me - "Who you are is how you lead." It's one of those phrases that says so much with very few words. Elegantly simple and powerful.  In this episode, Dr. Doug Lindsay and I discuss so many fun topics - Space Force, technology,  the intersectionalities of our work, and his role as Editor in Chief of the Journal of Character and Leader Development.Dr. Doug Lindsay is an experienced leader, communicator, team builder, and coach with a demonstrated track record working in the military, higher education, and consultation in different domains.

Because while we’re based out of a military service Academy, the Air Force Academy, we don’t want to be relevant just to the military, just to the Air Force, we want to be able to contribute to the large community of leadership and character development. And so we’re necessarily different in the fact that we tend to focus more on the applied side of things, the 'so what' aspect.""We talk about leadership in the military like it’s something totally different than leadership in higher education. There are differences...but maybe 70 to 80% of effective leadership is cross-domain. Do you communicate? Do you take care of your people? How are you making decisions? Are you inclusive? Are you building diverse teams?""So that 'who I am is how I lead' is not just a thought process, it’s about what I do. And when our intent and our actions align, that’s where we start to get into those ideas of authenticity. Am I who I say I am? Am I showing up how I intend to show up at work?"Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeThe Culture Code by Dan CoyleWhat Got You Here Won’t Get You There by Marshall GoldsmithAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals with a keen interest in the study, practice, and teaching of leadership.
