<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, my friend Marc Pitman shares how to use uncertainty to become the leader you want to be. Marc and I met at a Love 146 event years ago. As a reminder, Love 146 is a nonprofit I support that provides care for children who have been trafficked and the sales from</span> <a href= "https://youarethebrandbook.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">my book</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">are going to the cause.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marc’s most recent book</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Surprising Gift of Doubt</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is for the high-performing leader. We discuss if feelings of doubt and insecurity ever go away and how to manage them, the enneagram and how it ties into feelings of doubt in your work, and Marc’s emphasis on nonprofits and how they can help you in your leadership development.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 4 Quadrants of Leadership:</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Have a lot of confidence to complete a task because they have watched others do it so they copy them -- but their confidence drops when they find that they are not as successful as the person they copied.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Feel like they are faking their success and always trying to “fix” a problem although they aren’t sure what it is or how to fix it.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Learn to grow in their unique identity and do what works best for them so their confidence increases.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Help others increase their confidence by “focus leading.”</span></li> </ol> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3 Competencies that Everyone Has:</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">
