When we study really fabulous leaders and we ask that question, what do they do that other people don't do?

How quickly you can find certain things, but I'm always surprised of

How many leaders who don't know each other have come from different places different experiences different generations and they all do some of the same things that you and I have never been talked to do and

So that's always surprising to me every time I find a new admired leadership behavior

I'm always shocked that I couldn't see it before didn't see it before and how ubiquitous it is across most of the leaders that I've ever studied

I just couldn't see it until the pattern emerged and but once it emerges, it's pretty it's it's both surprising and and very empowered

This week I'm talking with Randall Stuttman the founder and co-head of the leadership practice at CRA and the admired leadership institute

Now Randall is one of the most incredible executive coaches in the world and like a lot of extraordinary people

He generally prefers to remain behind the scenes. I could give you a roster of his clients

But it would seem like I'm name dropping

Leadership is a bit of a tricky topic. It seems like everybody has an opinion

You know what attracted me to Randall in the first place is our shared belief that leadership is about what we do

Not what we say the quick hacks and clichés aren't the answer and a search for the timeless behaviors that really make a difference

In this episode we'll talk about the behavioral versus psychological view of leadership

What really drives results some behaviors that Randall and his team have identified at admired leadership calm and so much more

You'll walk away from this episode with some tools you can put into practice today to make you a better leader partner and parent

It's time to listen and learn
