“A key thing that I’ve learned along the way is that as leaders, we’re always in the spotlight. And you need to always lead by example.”
In this episode, I talk to Anthony Wysocki. Anthony has over 25 years of service with the US federal government. He currently serves as a director in the Office of the Inspector General in the US Department of Transportation.
I invited him on the show today because he has a unique leadership challenge, and I think it’s an intriguing one.
Providing an internal oversight audit role, yet maintaining a service and relationship orientation. How do you do that as a leader? I talk to Tony about this challenge in this episode, as well as the personal challenge of neurodiversity awareness in organizations. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
In this episode:
- Anthony’s journey and his role with the Office of Inspector General in the US Department of Transportation
- What Anthony learned about leadership along his journey
- Leading by example
- The importance of building relationships based on trust
- Leading as a neurodiverse individual
- And more!
