Welcome to 2022! In this first episode of the year, host John Laurito quickly shares a life update that answers why he’s been quiet from the podcast towards the end of 2021. Now that he’s getting back on track, he wanted to talk about how you have to do what you need to do to develop an option as a leader instead of just giving a flat-out “no.” There are situations when a “no” is warranted, but there is always another solution more often than not. You can ask help from your team to come up with more options—allowing your team member to fly the plane, so to speak. You’d be surprised at what your team can come up with, and it’s pretty much better than just a “no.” Show notes:[0:53] Quick life (and health) update from John[4:04] Here’s the scoop[7:51] When someone is power tripping[10:13] My message is…[13:17] Think about why someone says “no”[14:49] Bottomline [17:29] OutroGet a copy of Tomorrow's Leader on Amazon https://tinyurl.com/huseae9hText LEADER to 617-393-5383 to receive The Top 10 Things That The Best Leaders Are Doing Right NowFor questions, suggestions, or speaker inquiries, contact me at john@lauritogroup.com
