Christopher Steer of Steer LLC on permanent beta leadership: never done learning, empathy built with reps, and behavior change that becomes habit then mindset.
Christopher M. Steer, founder and CEO of Steer LLC, on permanent beta leadership, the mindset he describes as always learning and never done.
Chris brings more than 30 years as an entrepreneur, an attorney, and an operator. Steer LLC works with leaders, boards, and teams on leadership development, strategic planning, and organizational excellence, and he calls himself a chief energy officer.
In this conversation with Stephen Sakach and Tullio Siragusa:
• Why empathy is a muscle, not a personality trait
• The athletic metaphor he uses: you need reps
• Behavior change to habit change to mindset change
• Building the reps into one on ones, reviews and 360s
• What happens to a culture when the one empathetic leader leaves
He also makes the point most leadership advice skips, which is that intellectual humility is the precondition, because it is impossible to learn something you think you already know.
