#EverydayLeaders Interview Series

What's the Most Effective Leadership Tool?

Brady Pyle had great advice...

----

I often tell leaders that your most powerful leadership tool is a mirror

You need to start by knowing yourself, your strengths and weaknesses

I like to surround myself with people who are different from me in a variety of ways--how they grew up, personality and communication style, and leadership strengths

I also regularly seek customer feedback about the performance of my team members

Brady Pyle

Bill Castengera had this bit of advice to new and emerging #leaders:

It is easy to get caught up in tasks, but people want leaders who slow down, listen to concerns and take actions that address those concerns.

The question of whether we should push our employees or pull our employees can be a tough one.

Have high standards. If you lead correctly, your employees will want to do their best to match or exceed those standards.

I profile the extraordinary work being done by #EverydayLeaders. Leaders from the front lines of industry

WHAT I DO: 

I’m on a quest to profile the extraordinary work being done by #EverydayLeaders.  Leaders from the front lines of industry.   

HOW I DO IT:  

I start genuine conversations with real people.  We discuss what it takes to lead people in the real world.  And I help them share or develop their wisdom. 

Over the last two years, I’ve interviewed and profiled dozens of people and published their stories in Volume 1 of the Everyday Leaders Series.  Here are few examples:

➡️ Kerry Wekelo on listening to your teams —  https://goo.gl/BgU8Ma 
➡️ Ross Wirth on asking the right questions — https://goo.gl/zKjf9H
➡️ John Reagan on the art of teamwork — https://goo.gl/UPRcGn

I also help Emerging Leaders discover their innate brilliance. We use a time tested framework to align your desires and preferences with your those of your peers, teams, managers, and organization. No tricks, no secret formulas.  But the techniques are so simple my 4-year-old could do it.

CURIOUS TO KNOW MORE?  

Let’s connect and see how we may help each other.

Helping startups and scaleups to expand their teams across Europe and abroad 🌍

🚀 I help startups, scale-ups, and VC-backed companies hire smarter in Brazil 🇧🇷, Portugal 🇵🇹, and Spain 🇪🇸, three overlooked talent hubs with massive potential locally and globally.

Founder of @ambi.careers → a recruitment agency and talent community built for speed, quality, and saving founders time.

Yes, we use AI, but that’s no longer a differentiator. Everyone does. What sets us apart is what AI can’t touch: building trust, understanding culture, producing sharp content, and closing top talent fast. That’s where we win, and where our clients save the most time.

📖 Author of Reset de Carreira, a book and framework helping professionals rethink work-life alignment in the AI era.

👉 If you’re a founder, investor, or leader scaling in 🇧🇷🇵🇹🇪🇸 (or hiring from them to the world), let’s connect. DM me!

Lot’s of companies talk about diversity, but most of it feels like bla bla bla, just to check the box, no?

People don’t want to be hired just to fill a quota, they want to be hired because they’re good and because the company feels like a place where they can actually belong.

I had an incredible talk with Anastasia Pshegodskaya from Remote about this.

Not just D&I as a concept, but how content creation plays a huge role in showing who you truly are, so candidates can see themselves there (or not), without the corporate mask.

And this is already shifting.

For example, Microsoft just announced that instead of releasing another formal report, they’ll share D&I progress through stories and videos - If you are not creating content here on Linkedin, maybe it’s time to rethink that.

So let me ask you: Is diversity in your industry real or just PR? Where have you seen honest inclusion?

I’d love to hear the uncensored version.

Founder @ambi.careers | Smarter hiring in 🇧🇷🇵🇹🇪🇸 | AI is obvious: humans make the difference | Author of Reset de Carreira | +1000 placed candidates with my teams, let’s build yours 🙋

This is my first November in years without a Web Summit badge.
Normally, this week is always the same:
Lisbon, pavilions packed, cool side events, founders, VCs, beers, late dinners.
And it always brought something back: new deals, new intros, new ideas.

Web Summit has been very good to me and to Ambi.

This year, I’m taking my calls from Vietnam and Cambodia instead.

 Same laptop, some of the same and new clients in Europe, Brazil, the US and now Asia too.

Do I feel FOMO? Of course.

My feed is full of badges, stages and parties.

But stepping away made something clearer:
Sometimes what your business needs isn’t another big event.
It’s space to think, rewrite the plan, and remember why you’re building this in the first place.

Out here, I’ve been:
1. reworking Ambi and Ambi Studio offers
2. improving the content system that brings us inbound clients
3. making decisions with a calmer head
4. still onboarding new clients and joining meetings

Conferences give you exposure.
Distance gives you perspective.

Are you at Web Summit this year? or also choosing a different kind of week? 

I'll be following and cheering for the friends there sometimes at night, as I'm +7h from Lisbon these weeks.

Trabalhar menos, sem ritmo acelerado e com muito mais qualidade, é isso que o Cal Newport propõe em Slow Productivity (vale ler).

E a conversa que tive com o João Neves (founder da Bloop, uma rede social com marketplace) reforçou o mesmo ponto: equilíbrio não é o oposto do crescimento, é o combustível dele. Como o João disse: “não confunda atividade com progresso.”

Tenho escutado de alguns que "de jeito nenhum" e de outros que "é esse meu foco agora, menos é mais". 

E pra ti, slow productivity faz sentido no teu contexto?

Todo mundo tem uma Nova York pra deixar pra trás. Às vezes é um cargo, um salário, uma rotina, ou só uma vida que não conversa mais com você.

A história desses dois caras reforça uma coisa simples: quando você escolhe  um trabalho que te faz bem, a vida melhora e parece que tudo flui melhor.

Eu compartilho essas histórias porque sei que, em algum nível, tem gente que sente que existe uma versão da própria vida que faria muito mais sentido do que a que vive hoje hoje.

E se esse vídeo te cutucou, mesmo que um pouquinho… talvez já seja o começo do seu movimento.

Segue o @resetedecarreira no Insta.

Lá você vai encontrar histórias reais de gente que teve coragem de recomeçar e ferramentas para construir o seu próprio Reset.
