"Your emails are too long. Get to the point." Ouch. Sometimes constructive feedback can be hard to take as a leader. For Lean Geeks CEO and Founder Kenya Oduor, PhD honest self reflection and a learning mindset by not taking a colleague's feedback personally made a huge difference as she effectively adapted her more academic writing style to one that was impactful in corporate. Now as a successful entrepreneur who embraces younger generations forcing all of us to pause and reflect a bit differently, Kenya also leans on some other key principles: 💪 No doesn't always mean no. "We assume rejection is final. But often? It's just the beginning of a real conversation." 🤝 AI is your teammate, not your replacement. Stop seeing as the enemy and start seeing it as amplification tool for your capabilities. ⚡ Exceptional leaders "get out of the way and empower their team, those that are within 25 feet of that opportunity or that problem." 🪙 Map BOTH sides of the coin. Go beyond your customer journey focus to map your employee experience to ensure building the right things to solve the right problems. 🔎 Appropriate persistence is everything, especially as an entrepreneur. Follow up with authenticity and genuine interest. Make it about them, not you. 🎧 Link to the full episode in comments. #UserExperience #Leadership #ArtificialIntelligence
