141. True North Leadership with Bill George (Part 1)


Listen Later

Have you ever felt unsafe to share what you really think? Have you ever felt disoriented, lost, or muddled as a result of that? For some people, founders, professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, this problem grows as we advance in our careers. As our responsibilities increase, the number of people we can speak to openly decrease. What would happen if you could hard wire a solution to this problem into your routine? Today, I've invited Bill George to the show to coach us to this better solution. Bill is a businessman and an academic. He's the professor of management practice at the Harvard Business School. He previously served as chairman and also as CEO at Medtronic. He's the author of a new book, True North, but as you'll hear, we took a deep dive into a practice Bill has had in place for 50 years. By the end of this episode, you will have a specific solution that Bill has used for 50 years in order to create space to be heard, to be understood as you move up the ladder of success.
