1
Just like there's no such thing as an expert leader, just like there's no such thing as an expert parent, right?
2
All of these things are journeys, and you're always a student parent, you're always a student leader.
3
And the best leaders, the best parents, they're constantly learning, they're constantly finding new resources, they're reading books, they're reading articles,
4
they're watching TED Talks, whatever it is, more information, they're having conversations with their friends, right?
5
The best leaders, the best parents.
6
And it's the same with friends, which is you have to learn how to have a difficult conversation.
7
You have to learn how to listen.
8
You have to learn how to have an effective confrontation.
9
If your friend has done something that hurt your feelings, can you bring it to their attention in a way
10
that they will hear you rather than just defend themselves and fight with you?
11
Do we know how to hold space for our friends in a time of need?
12
I was struggling, and I called up a friend and said, hey, can I just talk to you?
13
And I told them what I was going through, and they started trying to fix me.
14
and I thank goodness
15
that you can tell people in the middle be like don't need solutions I need you to just listen listen
16
but most of us well -intentioned we go to fix men are particularly bad right we go to fix
17
when sometimes all somebody needs is for you to sit in mud with me
18
and make me feel not alone that's all I need and
19
so most of us don't have those skills and
20
when you talk about translating them into work right
21
if somebody's got struggles at home their marriages on the fritz their kids are acting out, I don't know, you're in a,
22
you know, there's a towering inferno a couple miles to the east, right?
23
You think that doesn't come to work?
24
So screaming and yelling at somebody, why haven't you made your numbers, is not helpful.
25
Empathy is a thing we have to practice.
26
I'll give you a real scenario that can happen at work, how empathy exists, right?
27
So let's take a real -life scenario.
28
Somebody missed their numbers, right?
29
so we walk into their office call them up whatever
30
it is hey um i noticed
31
you missed your numbers for the third quarter in a row um
32
you got to pick up your numbers in the fourth quarter otherwise
33
i don't know what's going to happen you you got to hit your numbers
34
that's fairly normal yeah now let's inject empathy dare i call it friendship into
35
that scenario hey um your numbers are down for the third quarter in a row um
36
we've talked about this before um are you okay what's going on I'm worried about you.
37
Right?
38
That will get you a more honest answer of where they're struggling.
39
And the person can open up back with you.
40
But so we can help.
41
They won't be defensive in that scenario.
42
So we can help.
43
So we can help them.
44
So we can help them.
45
Right?
46
If somebody is struggling, we can help them.
47
But if they can't tell us and we don't know how to listen
48
and we don't know how to ask and we don't know how to confront and we don't know how to have empathy,
49
then we're going to get no information and
50
that tension is going to get worse and worse and worse until somebody quits or gets fired.
51
so how about the best leader that you've ever personally had the best leader that I've had
52
two people come to mind for different reasons Dennis was my leader back in young in my career
53
and this is
54
when I learned about behavior over accomplishment I was a young account executive at a big ad agency
55
and new business pitches were done by the senior leaders it was the end of the year
56
and all the senior leaders have gone away on their holiday vacations and me and another junior
57
person who were assigned to work on this pitch uh were told prep the war room
58
and you know so
59
when all the senior folks come back
60
they can do the pitch prepping the war means hang the research on the walls
61
that takes an hour right we had a week to kill
62
so we just decided to do the pitch ourselves like we combed through the data
63
we found an insight we wrote the deck came up with a strategy the whole thing
64
and when the senior leaders came back we were like we finished you know like we did the whole deck
65
and they used our pitch they used our strategy in the pitch
66
and we lost the business oh boy we did not win the pitch
67
and my boss gave me a huge promotion
68
they didn't just move me up one level they moved me up two levels in one night
69
and what he was doing was rewarding my behavior not my accomplishment interesting
70
because I took initiative he was rewarding my initiative
71
and you know what he gets when he rewards my initiative more initiative
72
if he said to me look great work but you didn't hit it
73
so sorry yep I would never have shown any initiative after
74
that because why would I right or I would just play it safe you know
75
so one thing I learned was reward the behavior you want to be repeated
76
and so that was a big lesson for me but
77
But probably the single best leader ever I had was a guy named Peter Intimaggio.
78
Peter never answered a single question I asked him.
79
It was so annoying.
80
Peter, I don't know what to do.
81
What do you think we should do?
82
Well, I think we should do this.
83
Then I think you should do that.
84
Peter, something's out horribly wrong.
85
What do I do?
86
I don't know.
87
What do you think you should do?
88
I was just like, so annoying.
89
In the moment I couldn't see it, I just thought he was, I just answered by, please, I'm asking you because I don't know.
90
Isn't that obvious?
91
But what he taught me was self -reliance, what he taught me was self -confidence, and what he taught me was accountability,
92
because when things went horribly wrong, he taught us that you couldn't go in and be like,
93
it got screwed up, you said, I screwed it up.
94
You didn't go and say, they screwed it up, you said, it got screwed up on my watch.
95
Like, he taught us accountability, but we never got yelled at.
96
I never got yelled at when something went sideways.
97
He would sometimes get stressed, but he would say, well, how are you going to fix it?
98
and I always knew that he had my back
99
but he always made me do it
100
and it was the single best leader I ever had
101
and have you implemented
102
that same way of working with your teams yeah I mean as best I can I mean I'm human
103
but yes I'm pretty good about being laissez faire and I'm okay
104
if people screw things up as long as they take it where I become difficult
105
if somebody doesn't take accountability it got screwed up really it just happened Yeah.
106
Yeah.
107
Yeah.
108
You know, the market.
109
Yeah.
110
Yeah, the market.
111
Yeah, so I love accountability.
112
I love when people say, it's kind of like, go back to our Marine Corps friend here.
113
The Marines say, no greater friend, no greater enemy, right?
114
Like, if you take accountability, I will be by your side no matter how bad it is, and I will help you fix it,
115
and I will look after you and I'll protect you.
116
You lie to me or don't take accountability, I'm going to be asking you so many uncomfortable questions
117
because I know what's going on and so do you and I would just keep noodling at you.
118
Probably not a good leadership quality, but I love accountability.
119
And by the way, I have to model it.
120
I can't expect people to do it if I don't model it.
121
So I'm the first person to say, I screwed up.
122
I'm the first person to say, this happened on my watch.
123
I'm the first person to say, I shouldn't have given you that.
124
That is on me.
125
I am so sorry.
126
I am the first person to own every mistake, every screw -up.
127
The buck stops here every time because I cannot expect somebody to do something if I'm not willing to do it.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
