About this listen
Gunther Williams, CEO of Idaho Sewing for Sports, LLC, explores the concept of "false premises" in leadership, arguing that these hidden assumptions hinder team development. He suggests leaders often unknowingly undermine their teams by believing, for instance, that compensation is the sole motivator or that leadership requires having all the answers. Williams advocates for a shift from a self-focused approach to one of genuine curiosity and empathy toward team members. He proposes three key practices for transformation: courageous truth-telling, adopting an outward mindset, and developing conversational capacity to foster psychological safety and collective growth within teams. Ultimately, the piece encourages continuous self-awareness and challenging these limiting beliefs for the benefit of the team and overall culture.
