There are plenty of leadership how-to books, filled with advice such as “Just do this to get ahead!” Lots of books tell you how to become a leader, this book tells you how to stay successful once you’ve reached a leadership role.
This episode and today’s book helps aspiring, early-stage, and experienced leaders alike answer a critical question: “How will I use my leadership power?”
Being a good leader doesn’t require being a bad person, and if you know what to look out for, you can keep your ego and hubris in check and become (and stay) a leader who is effective, successful, and good.
We welcome Bill Treasurer, the author of: “The Leadership Killer: Reclaiming Humility in an Age of Arrogance.”
