Don’t let yourself get so caught up in running your business that you forget about the foundations of good leadership. In this episode, Alex takes us back to the basics by answering three important questions: Who is a leader? What is leadership? And what makes a good leader? He explains why these foundational questions are so important to examine and shares insights that will apply to any leader, no matter what role you’re in or how many people are depending on you. 


  • It’s easy to get distracted by complexity, but don’t forget the basics (1:03)
  • Who is a leader? If someone depends on you, then you are a leader (2:52)
  • What is leadership? Leadership is taking people from here to there (7:07)
  • You can’t just look at where you’re going, you have to define where you are (10:11)
  • Leadership is catching, casting, and coaching a vision (16:57)
  • What makes a leader good? Leadership is defined by our why, where, and way (22:19)
