When someone comes to you with a problem, do you immediately try to solve the issue? This week’s guests, Dr. Nathan Lang-Raad, explains how leaders need to use a coaching model of questions to find the best solutions and teach problem solving skills, similar to Glenda in “The Wizard of Oz”. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Listening instead of speaking
  • Providing the correct tools and resources as a leader
  • Creating boundaries to help with mental health
  • And his book, The Teachers of OZ: Leading with Wisdom, Heart, Courage, and Spirit
