On this episode I discuss leadership with Michael Harris, President at Quest Partners, a New York-based quant fund.

Michael highlights the challenge of determining how much time each to spend thinking about the strategic path of the company versus day-to-day business issues and during our discussion he talks about:

  • Intellectual humility and understanding the strength of your ideas, combined with transparent collaboration
  • Self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills are the building blocks of being a good leader
  • The importance of his maternal grandfather and why he was an inspirational leader
  • Learning leadership under the guidance of Mark Hawley at Dean Witter and Bob Murray at Morgan Stanley
  • Giving back and inspiring the next generation of talent via his university lecture series
  • The importance of not losing one's cool in a high stress situation
  • How meditation plays a role in maintaining perspective within Quest Partners

    • I hope you enjoy the episode!
