The best leaders have high levels of self-awareness and the capacity to be courageous. (The ability to act when we're afraid.) Effective leaders have the ability to be courageous in appropriate ways and at appropriate times. Mike Neatherton, former COO of the Betty Ford Clinic shares his perspectives about how many execs are truly self-aware. (Far fewer than you think!) And he discusses how the greatest courage is the execs ability to make themselves truly vulnerable to their teams. (FYI - Lyndsay Knox, our Business Manager at The Eppley Group says this is our best podcast ever!)
