Welcome to another enlightening episode of Shift and Thrive, where we dive deep into stories of transformation, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Today we hear from the remarkable Lior Klisman, a serial entrepreneur who's now on his fourth venture. He's lived in seven countries across three continents, carrying a profound passion for supporting foreign-born entrepreneurs to make a positive impact globally. On top of that, he coaches founders and executives on resilience, burnout management, and fostering meaningful relationships. In this conversation, he shares invaluable insights on leadership, personal and professional growth, and driving transformational change.

Takeaways:

• Foster trust and autonomy. Avoid micromanagement; instead, empower your team with the autonomy to make decisions and learn from their experiences. Create a culture where team members feel seen, heard, and valued.
• Leaders should invest in their personal development through learning, unlearning, and relearning. Engage in reflection and proactive behaviors to set an example for the team.
• Practice active listening to genuinely understand the needs and ideas of your team. Provide clear explanations and rationale behind decisions to foster transparency and trust.
• Take time to understand the cultural backgrounds and practices of your team members, especially in diverse or global teams. Use cultural insights to create inclusive and respectful work environments.
• Limit the number of general meetings and focus on one-on-ones or smaller, more targeted meetings that address specific needs. Ensure meetings are purposeful and provide value to participants.
• Create an environment where team members feel safe to propose ideas without fear of failure. Recognize and implement valuable suggestions from the team to drive continuous improvement.

Quote of the Show:

• “As CEOs, We know a thing or two, but to continue our success, we must be willing to unlearn the things that we have learned and relearn something new”
