What makes a leader worth* following? That little asterisk next to “worth” is the answer. It references the hidden truth that lives at the very core of effective (and ineffective) leadership. The Be Worth* Following Podcast explores this surprising truth and how it plays out in the lives of real leaders. Be Worth* Following is an original show from the People Forward Network, and it invites you to rethink what you think about leadership. Join host Tim Spiker, author of The Only Leaders Worth* Following, as he talks to leaders, thinkers, and researchers about what actually drives leadership across the globe and over time.
Mona Veiseh was born in Iran in the midst of war and fled with her family when she was still young. Her parents repeatedly sacrificed stability and safety in order to give their children the opportunity to be in a place where they could thrive. Their examples of selflessness and commitment to caring for others formed the foundation of Mona’s leadership philosophy.
In this episode, Mona shares how she focuses on helping people understand their strengths so they can perform them in her role as CEO of NuWest Healthcare at NuWest Group. She believes in the power of getting people into places where they can excel. Listen in to hear the steps you can take to walk alongside your people as they identify their ultimate goals and help them create plans to achieve them.
