Welcome to Episode 1146 of the Arete Coach Podcast, crafted for a discerning audience of experienced executive and organizational leadership coaches. I'm your host, Severin Sorensen. Today, we journey through the world of leadership with Enrico Biscaro, a distinguished coach and mentor hailing from Italy, and the mastermind behind the thought-provoking book, "Resonance: Stories and Strategies for Global Team Breakthroughs."

Enrico holds an uncompromising view on leadership: Accountability is limitless. "Leaders must rise above excuses, for they erode morale, motivation, and creativity. True leadership demands courage," he says. "It's about transcending self-interest, eschewing self-pity, and setting aside self-preservation."

Delve deep as Enrico unravels 19 years of rich leadership lessons, insights from his diverse career, and treasures from his coaching practice. Our discussion kicks off with how the unparalleled accountability and resilience demonstrated by basketball legend Michael Jordan left a profound impression on Enrico, guiding his coaching ethos. Listen as Enrico divulges tales from his book "Resonance," revealing the nuances of energizing leadership, the potency of questions like "what drives you?", and the indispensable nature of relentless learning.

Over the last 15 years, Enrico has nurtured, inspired, and transformed countless lives, steering them toward their zenith, their true potential.
