3 Things Great Leaders Do Differently


Listen Later

As the host of two successful business podcasts, Guy Raz has interviewed hundreds of entrepreneurs and leaders. His podcasts How I Built This and Wisdom From The Top offer an inside look at how visionary leaders build their careers and their companies.

Raz has identified three key behaviors successful leaders have in common: They create a culture of collaboration.  They encourage risk-taking.  And they allow for failure.

In this episode, he discusses how to incentivize internal collaboration and why that approach often leads to innovation. He also shares the insights he’s gathered on how to inspire your team to take risks and embrace learning from failure. 

Key episode topics include: leadership, leadership vision, leading teams, collaboration and teams, entrepreneurship.

HBR On Leadership curates the best case studies and conversations with the world’s top business and management experts, to help you unlock the best in those around you. New episodes every week.
