Listen Later

šŸ’­ How do you holistically improve people’s lives through your leadership?

Our guest this week is a returning guest from one of our popular episodes, ā€œLeaders with a Capital Lā€. Brett Larson has retired from his corporate leadership career at W. L. Gore & Associates to pursue a partnership with Humessence, whose vision is to improve the lives of workers by delivering improved and excellence in leadership.

In this episode, Brett and Mick talk about the common mistakes most leaders make such as wanting to be the smartest person in the room, answering every question and ending up doing most of the work. Brett also defines humility as being grounded, knowing who you are, and having enough self-confidence to admit that you don’t have all of the solutions. His shared vision to help companies create a culture where people can be engaged, where psychological safety is present, and where people can reach their full potential so they can bring this culture at home, is what led him to be part of Humessence. This then inspired him to write a book, Discovering Leaders Within, where he shares the seven-step method in human-based leadership.Ā 

šŸŽ§ Download this episode to discover the significance of humility in leadership, and the impact your leadership makes beyond the four walls of your office space.
