Leadership Greater Topeka | Wrylie Guffey

What is one leadership lesson you've learned in your career and what impact has it made on you?
Knowing when to step back. Coaching someone quietly, and letting them shine when the time comes, builds skills and confidence that can be hard to achieve otherwise.
What book would you recommend and why?
“How to Keep House While Drowning” by KC Davis. It suggests small ways to make life tasks easier by challenging and changing the "rules" that we have created for ourselves.
What are you grateful for?
I'm grateful for my work team. Together, we have created an environment of vulnerability, understanding and humor in order to support each other through challenges. I can't think of a better group to work with.
What do you love most about Topeka and why?
We have great amenities for a community of our size. The library, the zoo, children's discovery center, festivals, theatres, arts districts, farmers markets and walking trails are all places or events where my wife and I can have fun and run into people we know.
