Janine Davis on Understanding Individual Perspectives in Leadership

Executive coach Janine Davis talks with Greg Aden about emotional intelligence, seeking agreement instead of setting expectations, and why doers promoted into management rarely get help becoming leaders.
Janine is on her third career, moving from engineering at Accenture to 20 years of recruiting for venture backed startups to executive coaching and facilitation. She and Greg talk about self awareness and self regulation as the foundation of everything else in leadership, why no career decision is as permanent as college seniors fear, and how to tell a grounded decision to stay in a job from a reactive one. They dig into triggers, pausing and walking away from a conversation that has turned hostile, and the CIA model of control, influence and adapt as a way to keep your agency.
The conversation also covers why fear of a know it all boss stops teams from asking the questions that create clarity, what vulnerability and compassion actually look like on a team, the connection between parenting and leadership, and how animals can help foster transformation in leaders. Greg and Janine both speak openly about mental health along the way.
