Ep 229 How to Lead with Influence Inside Any Community
This week's conversation with Erich Kurschat, the founder of Harmony Insights, is about the power of influence in community, leadership, and self-awareness. With over 18 years of experience as an Everything DiSC® instructor and seasoned corporate HR professional, Erich shares his journey to building a thriving network of over 3,500 members in his HRHotSeat community.
Bernie and Erich's conversation explores the role of networking in fostering meaningful connections and collaboration in both personal and professional settings for anyone, including introverts like Erich.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Leadership and Influence: Erich expresses that anyone is capable of leading with greater influence, regardless of their official title or role. He emphasizes that self-awareness and proactive communication are vital for impactful leadership.
2️⃣ Embrace Networking as an Introvert: Erich emphasized the value of networking in ways that align with one’s own style, especially for introverts. Building a community that feels authentic to you can turn networking from a daunting task into a rewarding endeavor.
3️⃣ Value of Diverse Contributions: Diversity isn't just a buzzword; it’s a crucial element in any successful community. Bringing together varied perspectives and experiences fosters innovation, collaboration, and leads to more meaningful outcomes.
Main Takeaway: A significant theme in this episode is recognizing that effective leadership and fulfillment don't necessarily require a title or position of authority. It's about influence, authenticity, and the intentional creation of spaces where diverse perspectives can lead to innovation and collective growth.
