In this episode, I sit down with Urs Koenig—leadership expert, bestselling author of Radical Humility, UN peacekeeper, ultra-endurance champion, and professor—to talk about what it really takes to lead well in 2025 and beyond.
We dive into:
- Why humility is the ultimate performance multiplier for leaders
- The five key shifts from Urs’ book that transform “command-and-control” into resilient, high-performing teams
- Real-world stories from the military, medicine, and business that prove tough results and deep care are not opposites—they’re partners
- Practical tools you can apply right away: asking for feedback, setting crystal-clear decision boundaries, and building trust through vulnerability
If you’ve ever wrestled with how to hold high standards without burning people out—or wondered whether empathy “gets in the way” of results—this conversation will change how you see leadership.
