Episode notes
Welcome to the 3x5 leadership podcast―a show dedicated to making more intentional leaders regardless of role, rank, or responsibility because we believe that better leaders and build a better world. The reality is, however, that you cannot successfully and sustainably pour into others from an empty cup. So, how do you keep your cup full as a leader? This show aims to fill your cup with simple, practical strategies so you can live, lead, and learn more intentionally. You can listen to the episode on Apple and Spotify ! When you look at your work calendar, where do you see “leader development”? And when your team sees it, what does it mean to them? If it’s a laid-back hour of lecture or forced group discussions, it might be time to reconsider. In this episode, we’ll dive into the 70-20-10 model for development planning and show you why those lectures and discussions only cover about 10% of what a leader truly needs to grow and thrive. The remaining 90%? It doesn’t require a ton of extra effort on your part as the leader developer. What it takes is intentionality and building relationships that reinforce the experiences your team is already having.
