I’m excited to share the first leadership interview in a series I’m putting together over this year. I’m wanting to highlight leaders working in a variety of practical industries to see what learnings we can take from their styles and approaches to leadership.

Russell Pedersen is a technical support and training manager in the New Zealand building industry.

Russell joined me to answer three questions:

1. Tell me about a time you learned a valuable leadership lesson the hard way?

2. What is a small shift in leadership that will have the greatest impact? (starts 2.04 mins into the clip)

3. One practical leadership tip for emerging leaders (starts 4.15 mins into the clip)

As always stay well and any feedback is welcome!

Cheers Mark
