www.Teams.Guru Facebook.com/Teams.Guru Show notes: http://www.teams.guru/podcast/140-practical-guide-sort-sht-ft-gary-waldon/ ___________ Despite the coarse language on the cover, Gary Waldon´s ¨Sort Your Shit Out'' I s a serious read. It challenges us to consider the world from the viewpoint of a child. The book is Waldon’s description of the human socialization process. He draws parallels between children and deeply self-actualized adults. Self-awareness is a learned behavior, and so to ¨sort your shit out¨ is to confront the influences that constantly suppress our true nature.

SHOW NOTES: http://www.teams.guru/podcast/139-3-things-improve-communication-inside-team-ft-shelley-flett/ In this episode we’re going to talk really directly about the challenges of being a good leader. It’s easy to listen to a podcast where we talk about the concepts of leadership - communicating, developing great relationships and all that stuff. But our actual working environments can create barriers to being a great leader. Many of those challenges feel so ingrained that they may seem insurmountable. I’ve invited author and speaker Shelley Flett onto the show to talk about being a dynamic leader in a real world situation.
