In this episode…Growing as a leader means continuously drawing outside of yourself. Many executives have either slowed down or failed to capitalize on their potential by relying solely on themselves. The most innovative leaders can continuously learn throughout their lives and maintain their curiosity.
Jim Fielding has crafted his leadership style around this very principle. It involves more than just taking advice; it's about keeping your mind open, constantly growing, and expanding your frame of reference. He has written a book to distill some of his ideas, and now he shares those same thoughts with you.
