#93: Leadership as a Behavior: Unpacking a Speak-up Culture | with Stephen Shedletzky

Building a Coaching Culture

Stephen Shedletzky —or “Shed” to his friends— helps leaders make it safe and worth it for people to speak up. He supports humble leaders—those who know they are both a part of the problems they experience and the solutions they can create— as they put their people and purpose first. After years on a corporate track, Shed was introduced to and inspired by the work of best-selling author and TED speaker Simon Sinek and, soon after meeting him, became the fourth person to join his team. For more than a decade, Shed contributed at Simon Sinek, where, as Chief of Staff and Head of Brand Experience, Training & Product Development, he led a global team of speakers and facilitators. Shed graduated from the Richard Ivey School of Business with a focus on leadership, communication, and strategy. He received his coaching certification from The Co-Active Training Institute.

In this episode, Stephen Shedletzky shares insights from his book "Speak Up Culture" on how leaders can create environments where employees feel safe and empowered to speak up.

Key topics covered include:

• Stephen's Book: "Speak-up Culture"
• The importance of creating a culture where it is safe and worthwhile for individuals to speak up.
• The distinction between having a leadership title and actually behaving as a leader.
• The relationship between servant leadership, a higher purpose, and love.
• Why humility is Stephen's favorite characteristic of a good leader
