In this episode of the Leadership Sandbox podcast, Tammy J. Bond highlights a crucial concept in leadership: prioritizing mission over mood. The greatest threats to effective leadership often stem not from external challenges, but from internal negativity. Tammy discusses practical strategies for confronting this negativity and fostering a constructive mindset within yourself and your team. By emphasizing clarity of mission and encouraging positive self-talk, leaders can cultivate resilience and enhance team dynamics.
