LeaderLink Podcast

Join us as we talk about the topics of ego and humility. While confidence and self-awareness are both important qualities for a leader, ego can be thought about on a spectrum. On one end are concepts of self-doubt and impostor syndrome, while on the other end, ego becomes arrogance and pride. We believe a “healthy” ego is necessary for leadership, as is humility.

Our goal is to connect you to leaders and leadership principles from all sectors.

In this episode, Charles and Josh discuss the question “why?”. Specifically, the “why” from the organizational perspective. Why is “why” such an uncomfortable question for leaders to respond to? And, how do we prepare our leaders to respond to this question considering that the generations currently entering the workforce are more comfortable asking it? We also talk about how the “why” relates to values, and influences vision, mission, strategy, procedures, and practices.
