36. Audrey Kusambiza Bolo on leading vs. managing and building happy teams that perform well

Audrey Kusambiza Bolo is the Global Talent Acquisition Director for One Acre Fund while moonlighting as a a talent consultant & team well-being coach in her company, Your Truth Coach. She joins us to discuss how to build healthy, happy teams that also perform well. Key to this is distinguishing between management and leadership to help us elevate from being primarily focussed on delivery oversight and output management to also managing the strategic vision, team culture and health, and our team’s ability to thrive holistically. We explore how leaders can make this transition successfully, and the emotional and social skills necessary to do so.

Topics discussed:

• How Audrey reframed her definition of leadership when she became a team leader
• The need to be strategic about the vision you have for your team’s culture and DNA
• Being intentional about showing up as the type of leader you want to be instead of leaving it to chance
• Embracing vulnerability and authenticity to build buy-in and form deeper connections with your team
• How to make time in our busy days to be strategic about how we lead people
