Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Podcasts in Careers!

“You’ve always got to keep your mind open, your mental aperture, because if you think you know it all there’s a good inclination that hubris is right around the corner knocking on your door, and ready to come strike you down.” - John Havlik

Being an effective leader today is much more than having the ability to make decisions, and often it is the hubris or arrogance of the leader that is holding him or her back from connecting with others in a way that makes people feel heard, trusted and valued. Today’s Finding Brave guest shares his deep personal insights and experiences from a distinguished career as a leader, and focuses on helping others from falling into this all-too-common trap of letting their arrogance crush their impact, reputation and their ability to lead.

CAPT John “Coach” Havlik, USN (Ret), retired from the Navy in 2014 after 31 years of distinguished service in the Naval Special Warfare (SEAL) community. He has served on all SEAL teams on both coasts, including the famed SEAL Team SIX.

Coach Havlik is a Special Advisor to Giant Leap Consulting and regularly speaks about leadership and working as a team under arduous and stressful conditions. Along with Bill Treasurer, John co-authored The Leadership Killer: Reclaiming Humility in an Age of Arrogance.

What John reveals in this episode is critical information that needs to be heard today. If you think you have to know everything (or believe you already do know everything) in order to lead others, you don’t understand what true leadership is and this episode will benefit you greatly.
