The Framework for Leading With Both Care and Accountability
This audio-only episode is a master class in coaching as Aiko Bethea, one of the most respected senior leadership coaches in the country, takes Brené through a current leadership conflict in real time, showing just how hard it is to slow down and lead from your values instead of your urgency. The coaching session is underpinned by Aiko’s new “Anchored, Aligned, and Accountable” framework that focuses on why self-leadership is so critical in today’s complex operating environment. Together, they dig into the difference between assuming good intent and believing someone is doing the best they can, and why that distinction changes what accountability actually looks like in practice. Aiko also introduces and models the powerful coaching practice of “three levels of listening” and how it’s central to developing a coaching mindset.
