A short YouTube interview between James Laughlin and Karen about how to keep growing as a leader. Karen emphasizes a growth mindset—being open to learning, accepting that you don't need to have all the answers, and deliberately seeking diverse perspectives and people who will challenge your views to accelerate leadership growth.
How do you keep growing as a leader? What are the things you do or seek that help you to continue growing your leadership skills?
Well I think the key word there is actually growing. It's that growth mindset little frog in my throat. It's about always, always wanting to learn and be open to learn and it's about bringing diverse views in. I think when I was younger I sort of certainly if you ask my husband and my sisters and mum and dad, they'd probably say, you know, Karen always wanted to be right or felt that she was right And I always felt this burning desire to have to know all the answers. My and it's something I've learned as I've gone along is actually it's actually okay to not have all the answers yourself and the more diversity of views that you have. So making sure I surround myself by people who think very differently from me who will challenge me and oppose my views.
