Our featured guest was Mai-Anh Tran, Associate Vice President of Philanthropic Services with the St. Paul and Minnesota Foundation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mai-Anh Tran grew up as the youngest of four children, whose parents moved the family from Vietnam to the United States when she was two years old. And ever since then, she\u2019s been breaking barriers and busting through ceilings in her career choices and how she lives her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI grew up wanting to be Connie Chung!\u201d she explained, making an obvious reference to being an Asian woman in broadcast television. She migrated away from TV journalism because the lifestyle was not conducive to raising a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, she is a smashing success in leading teams of people who are raising and distributing money to people in need. The subject of our interview evolved around the theme of the fall series: Good Leadership is a Team Sport. That\u2019s also the title of <a href=\"https:\/\/goodleadership.com\/product\/preorder-good-leadership-is-a-team-sport-book\/\">my most recent book<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Success Habits:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mai-Anh shared three of her success habits \u2013 things she\u2019s learned to repeat in her leadership, because they really work for her \u2013 with guests intent on improving their team leadership:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/goodleadership.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/9P7A3261-copy-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42946\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:400px;height:358px\" width=\"400\" height=\"358\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Everyone needs to feel recognized, valued and heard<\/strong>.&nbsp;She reminded us all how every perspective, from every person on the team, makes the team better. It\u2019s the leader\u2019s #1 job to encourage recognition and celebrating accomplishments \u2013 both inside and outside of work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strength and courage means \u201cspeaking up<\/strong>.\u201d When people feel valued, they will speak up. With so many people working on many teams at once, it\u2019s really important that everyone feels the courage and obligation to share what they are seeing and feeling \u2013 without fear of retribution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use process to keep the focus on goals<\/strong>. Clear roles and responsibilities is critical to high performance teamwork. Creating that clarity is harder for leaders and team members who are more emotional or relational in their approach to teams. In this situation the word \u201cprocess\u201d means a structure to ensure everyone knows&nbsp;<em>where they fit, why they matter, and how their work contributes to the success of the team.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goodleadership.com\/podcast\/\">The Good Leadership Podcast<\/a> recapping the October 2023 breakfast with Mai-Anh will be live later this week.
