Many people see leading as a role they undertake at work only.  Yet when we study the great leaders around us, it's clear that leading is a journey of mastery underpinned by connection and clarity. In this episode of the Business Chat Podcast, I share a conversation with Ashraf Dashlooty. He’s a consultant, coach, mentor, and master facilitator who’s been helping leaders with their journey to success.  Ash shares the key underlying principles that drive people and key levers that craft a leadership journey. People are essentially driven by connection and their desire to seek clarity. When leaders embrace and empower these principles, they motivate teams to do their best and uncover their genuine role and purpose. Leadership is indeed a journey of mastery of the self and others. Great leaders never stop learning and developing themselves, so they continuously create the best impact on the people and community they serve and connect with.  Time Stamps: Ashraf's leadership journey (04:12) The underlying principles that drive people (10:03) The changes in human connection over the years (11:42) How leaders can build connection and trust (14:42) The key levers to craft a leadership journey (20:12) Tools for leaders to develop their craft (24:05)  Practical tips for people to hone their leadership (29:45) Connect With Lisa Evans https://www.speakingsavvy.com.au/ Connect with me on Facebook and Instagram Connect with me on LinkedIn Connect With Ashraf Dashlooty www.craftinggreatleaders.com Connect with Ashraf on LinkedIn and Facebook Connect with Ashraf on Instagram For full show notes visit: Businesschatpodcast.com.au
