Show Notes

Jeff Cochran is a leadership coach, author of Next Level Leader, speaker, and pastor who loves helping people live out their dreams and experience living their best lives. From entrepreneurs to CEOs and businesses to churches, Jeff wants to help you navigate the challenges you face and step into your full potential. 

Next level leadership requires asking questions and getting to know people. First, you have to listen and then ask: "Is this the right decision to make?" then let other people in on the issue. After getting their opinion, then you can make a decision.

One small thing you can do to listen to your team is by asking: "What's one practical thing I can do that would make it easier for you to lead in your role?"

Leaders don't listen because they are insecure. You can't be insecure and lead. If you don't create a culture of safety, where we reward people for telling the truth, then eventually, they're not going to. 

Many leaders stay away from conflict because they don't know the difference between tension and conflict. Healthy conflict is tension. Next-level leaders have to manage conflict without resolving tension.
