On Looking in the Mirror
Manage episode 347081069 series 3401832
In the seminal business book Good to Great, Jim Collins writes that great leaders “Look in the mirror and not out the window.” Others point fingers when things go wrong. But great leaders, Collins argues, take full accountability.
But looking in the mirror is difficult. It means being brutally honest with ourselves. So we avoid the mirror and make the same mistakes repeatedly. In this episode, I talk with my mentor, Joe Grant, a business coach, and consultant, about self-inquiry: how do we summon the courage to stare down our flaws so we can learn and grow?
