Eric Kaufmann has been coaching and training leaders and executives since 2000. His earliest leadership lessons were in the water, not in the office – when he was a Scuba Diving Instructor he learned to organize and influence people to learn new skills, work together, venture into the unknown, and have fun in a process that is inherently dangerous. Tom and Eric have a lively discussion on Eric being a Thought Leader at Harvard’s Institute of Coaching, the author of Four Virtues of a Leader, and a life-long Zen practitioner.

Key Takeaways:

• Conscious leadership is moving from the ego to a life-focused service position with awareness.
• The first virtue of a leader is focus. The world is our reflection.
• Wisdom, love, and courage are essential features of leadership.
• Courage is the most absent characteristic of a leader. It is easier to walk away; we use it as a defense mechanism.
• With age, there becomes more to lose than there is to gain.
• Business leaders are now shaping our society.
