THE BEST TEAMS AREN'T THE SMARTEST. THEY'RE THE SAFEST. Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs admits he once thought he was a great leader, until things went bad and everybody left. In this episode he redefines leadership for the 21st century, and shares the high-stakes project where he stopped trying to fix it himself and simply asked his team, "What are we missing?" IN THIS EPISODE • What Google's Project Aristotle found after studying about 180 teams: psychological safety beat raw talent • Why vulnerability is strength, and what the Wiz could have learned about admitting he didn't have the answers • How starting meetings with gratitude and sharing your own failures gets quiet people talking • Teaching your team to back their feelings with data before bringing ideas to the table YOUR CHALLENGE Take an honest look at your leadership: are you more focused on having the answers, or on asking the right questions? ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Bred To Lead is powered by SIPS Healthcare Solutions.
