This can manifest in many different forms, such as listening to ideas, understanding their needs, and providing them with support. He goes on to explain that he has worked with many leaders over his career and that he has developed strong relationships with them. All of these relationships have solidified his understanding of responsible leadership and the importance of taking care of those who follow. Ultimately, Peter believes that responsible leadership is a responsibility that must be taken seriously.Responsible leadership requires building trust with those around you, whether they are employees, clients or customers. To be a responsible leader, you need to have qualities such as vision, integrity, courage, humility, compassion, and flexibility. Vision involves being able to articulate your ideas to those who work for you. Integrity involves making difficult decisions and having difficult conversations. Courage involves going into difficult situations. Humility involves understanding that you don't know everything, and building a team to help you understand those things. Compassion involves showing empathy and understanding for those who rely on you. Finally, flexibility is needed as world conditions can change without warning and you need to be prepared to modify your plans accordingly.The conversation between the two speakers centered around employment and workplace law and how to build trust and understanding with clients.
