It’s not about winging your answers to the questions thrown at you. The point is – if you’re a great leader, your leadership skills are not something you need to read about before any conversation. It’s all common sense.

And so, the next time you’re asked to be interviewed, you can tell the interviewer to save their questions. Besides, there’s nothing better than having a natural and spontaneous conversation about something that is so intuitive to you.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Staying in your strength
• Kindness and empathy are common sense if you’re a great leader
• Some traits of a leader that should be a natural part of us

Episode Highlights:

[00:58] Should You Prepare for Leadership Conversations?

If you’re a great leader, there’s no need for you to prepare or read about leadership before having any leadership conversations because everything you do is just common sense for you. You don’t need to know the questions ahead of time to talk about the things you’re passionate about because that should naturally come through.

[01:46] A Natural Part of You

Your ability to listen and your desire to better something for someone else are things that should be a natural part of you. Empathy, kindness, and vulnerability are as natural as breathing , and not something that you need to study before talking about it.

As a leader, you’re standing at the ready – with heart, intuition, and common sense. You’re ready to serve, take care of people, be with them and ride with them. You’re there to guide them. And all of that is who you are already. It’s not something you need to think about when you’re asked about these things.
