  • In today’s episode of Self Smarter, Dan’l and Megan dive into a crucial aspect of leadership – coaching versus fixing. As leaders, sometimes it is easier and quicker to step in and fix problems ourselves... but that can cause a lack of growth and other potential challenges in the person you’re leading. There’s a delicate balance leaders must work towards to empower our teams and foster independent problem solving. You don’t want to miss this conversation! In today’s music moment, Dan’l and Megan share the Enneagram types of some of the most successful musicians and bands.

  • In this episode of Self Smarter, we hone in on the leaders who lead other leaders (can you say that five times fast?). This topic is important, because there is a real responsibility that comes into play, as it’s a complex, yet rewarding, part of the leadership journey. When you lead a leader, you aren’t just accountable for the success of the person you’re leading, but also for the people he or she is leading as well. Great leaders not only inspire their teams, but also empower other leaders to do the same. If you’re looking to learn how to more effectively lead someone who leads someone else, then you’ve come to the right place! In today’s music moment, Dan’l and Megan talk about the magic high school and college bands produce during the halftime show, specifically in Aggieland!
