In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Andrew McNeill about responding vs. reacting in leadership. Andrew shares his background in major projects and programmes, both in the public and private sectors. He discusses his work over the past 8 years in leadership consulting, focusing on helping leaders develop self-awareness and the ability to respond rather than react.
Key Takeaways- Kindness and psychological safety are crucial for high-performing teams, backed by research (e.g., Google's Project Aristotle)
- Responding vs. reacting involves pausing to choose a thoughtful response rather than acting on instinct
- Mindfulness techniques can help leaders develop the skill of responding rather than reacting
- Unconscious biases exist, but observable actions and their consequences are what matter most
In this conversation Andrew emphasises the value of mindfulness techniques in developing the capacity to respond rather than react. He discusses how mindfulness can help create a pause between stimulus and response, and how it can be a powerful tool for leaders to build self-awareness and make better choices.
