Coming up on the Mark Devine show.

In every country, in Middle East, in Africa, and throughout Europe, I learned so much more

about myself that way, how you're going to deal with this situation, and you learn the

people's sensitivity as you learn, leading with the heart, having the courage to make

goal decisions, and dealing with different cultures.

If you can't do that today, I don't think you're going to make it in a global business.

I'm Mark Devine, and this is the Mark Devine show.

On the show, I explore what it means to be fearless to the lens of the world's most inspirational,

compassionate, resilient leaders.

I speak to folks from all walks of life, including meditation, monks, block chain wizards, extreme

adversity survivors, and leading CEOs.

And today, I'm going to be talking with Bill George, the CEO of Metronix, and now Harvard

Business School teacher, leader, to get insights about his views on leading from the heart

and true North leadership.

As I mentioned, Bill is a former chairman and CEO of Metronix, a medical device company.

He's a senior fellow at Harvard Business School.

He's taught leadership there since 2004.

He's the author of Discover Your True North and Discover Your True North Field Book,

Authentic Leadership, Finding Your True North, Seven Lessons for leading in crisis, and

his recent book that we talk about is True North for emerging leaders.

Bill, you were a chairman and CEO of Metronix, and now you work at HPS.

Give us a sense of what your formative years were like, your career.
