Diversity, Partnerships, and Flexibility: Driving Leadership Change with Chris Hale
Tradies Who LeadShow Notes
Leading a team that’s been at it longer than you have is its own kind of test. The fix isn’t more authority — it’s a different way of leading.
Chris Hale is a sales manager in the wind energy industry who came up through sport and coaching. He brings an outside-the-trades view on leading experienced teams, building partnerships, and driving training that actually changes culture.
In this conversation, we get into: • How to lead people who’ve got more years on the job than you • Why flexible leadership beats one-size-fits-all • How training and inclusion drive real change across an industry • What sports and coaching teach you about leading a crew
