Episode 69 – Rachael Robertson – Leaders On Leadership

Every team is formed with the purpose of achieving a single goal or a number of set objectives, but every individual within is different than the next one. If coping with teammates is already challenging for everyone, how much tedious is it for a leader to handle an entire group without losing sight of the endgame? Author Rachael Robertson shares with Dr. Tracey Jones how to handle such a situation by looking back on her experience leading a year-long expedition to Antarctica. She explains how important it is for leaders to set work boundaries, play the mentor role and learn from the team, and be an effective head without imposing values. Rachael also dissects the concept of "No Triangles" and underlines the importance of communication in solving conflicts.
