Ep. 16 – Human Experience Summit Part 3 of 3. With Guests Janet Wood and Jeff Smith.

In this episode we deviate from our 1 on 1 format. Nate Leslie, Jeff Smith, and Janet Wood discuss the importance of showing genuine interest in people as a leader, and where we get it wrong. This is a recording of the Human Experience Summit hosted by SupportingLines. We've broken up the 90 minute virtual summit into 3 parts to sprinkle amongst other episodes. This is Part 3.

If we surveyed your team and asked them if their leader shows a genuine interest in their personal development…what do you think they would say? Research has shown that while most leaders do care about their employee’s personal development, they often do not show it. The key to high-performance culture lies beyond having good intentions, and lies in how you show this genuine interest.

Jeff Smith is the founder of the SupportingLines Institute and previously led a sales team at a global helicopter company where he helped increase sales from $800M to $1.6B. He leans into a large scale challenges in a big way. Previous guest on Episode 5 of Leading with Curiosity.

Janet Wood is a former global software executive responsible for the leadership development of over 8000 leaders at SAP. In semi-retirement she was the CEO of Science World in Vancouver, BC. Large scale leadership development initiatives do not intimidate Janet, and she learned a lot about herself along the way. Previous guest on Episode 14 of Leading with Curiosity.
