Deidre and JG were so excited to speak with Jerry Acuff on this week’s episode of GutwiZdom. Jerry, the Founder & CEO of Delta Point, is a leadership and relationship expert. The crew chat about some of the problems currently going on with the leadership team resignations in the White House and discuss some wiZdoms on what a leader can do in their organization to avoid this turnover turmoil.

WIZDOMS FOR LEADERSHIP
- Build relationships with your team. Relationship building is a process. Ask questions so you can learn something about the other person, and remember, it’s not about you, it’s about them.
- Hire the right people. The people you hire for your organization should fill in the gaps on your teams. They shouldn’t just be a person you think you could have a beer with.
- Self-awareness is key. Leaders must be good listeners and practice empathy to connect with the people around them.
- Check your ego at the door. It’s important for a leader to be able to admit when they’re wrong, own their mistakes, apologize, and accept responsibility for their actions.
- Find your go-to person to be your mentor. We all need someone that we like, trust, and respect to learn from. Find this person and listen to their advice.
- Leadership is not a title, it is a set of behaviors. You have to want to be better. The starting point of all achievement is desire.
