Some interesting insights from this episode:

·         The leader amplification effect suggests that when we're in a position of leadership, all of our words and expressions get amplified, both the positive and negative ones.

·         There are three universal factors to inspiring leadership: being a visionary, being an exemplar, and being a mentor. 

·         Inspiring and infuriating leaders are mirror images of each other and exist on opposite ends of a continuum so based on the situation an inspiring leader one day can become an infuriating one the next.

·         Leaders are made, not born, and anyone has the tools to become more inspiring no matter their starting point.
