Guest Appearance on LePodcast
I recently talked with my friend Alexis Monville on his “LePodcast” podcast in an episode entitled “Leadership and Teamwork with Jeremy Brown”.
When I was a developer, you had these periods where you entered flow, and you could lose track of time. You were achieving and making something, and you just felt so happy.

In this episode, you will learn:
- How I ended up working on my passion,
- What leadership really means to me,
- How I tried to learn with my team in the crisis that we faced due to the pandemic,
- How individual incentives and rewards drive the opposite behaviour of what you want to bring when building a team,
- How to replace meetings, or instant messaging, with more asynchronous means of collaboration,
- How both of us miss the opportunity of connecting with people offered by travel, conferences…
- What gives or drains my energy, and my tactics to avoid these energy drainers,
- The importance of knowing yourself and knowing the people around you, learning to use personality profiles could be a good first step. Using the Clifton Strengths Finder is an example,
- How to provide helpful feedback,
- How to manage the relationships around you and make sure you don’t stay stuck with the wrong people.
If you think about trying to navigate through a forest, they’re the person that climbs up the tree and looks out over the forest and points you in the direction where you need to go. So I think that, typically, I would expect leaders to have a clear vision of where we are going and, perhaps more importantly, explain why we’re going in that direction.
