How Great Leaders Are Created - A Conversation with Jim Collison S3/E 17

Today's guest is Jim Collison, the CliftonStrengths Community Manager at Gallup’s Omaha, Nebraska office where he helps manage the 11,000+ Gallup-Certified Coaches globally. Jim also helps produce Gallup’s Webcasts / Podcasts like Theme Thursday and Gallup Called to Coach. 

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER: 

• How Jim used his Strengths to create a simple but highly effective communication system (that you can implement this week)
• Why great coaches, partnerships and managers can create successful, more engaged & happier team members
• How to become a successful leader that others WANT to follow!
• How Clifton Strengths can help you build better relationships at work and at home

Once you listen to this episode you'll be inspired to work within your strengths to become a great leader (or follower) who cares about people first! 

This week’s quote is from Jim Collison: “People matter. … Sometimes we get too wrapped around the axle of performance, or numbers. And listen, those things are important. But, the way to work is through people. And I think if we can spend time developing what's best in people, and if we can spend time giving them the highest propensity to be successful in what they're doing, I don't know if there's a better way to do it”
