Coming up, I'm going to tell you what I learned from a president, a coach, and spanks, and then why does being a CEO suck and should it? We'll break that down next. Let's go. Welcome to the Ken Coleman Show here to help you win at work. I want you to have the

competitive edge so that you can grow as a person and that's going to allow you to advance as a professional and if you

keep advancing as a professional there's probably coming a day where you're going to have to lead.

I want you to lead effectively all so that you make the money that you want to make and experience the meaning that you want to experience pretty simple stuff all right I'm not confused I've had a little bit of fun

but I am going to teach you three, or not teach you rather,

I'm going to share with you three leadership stories from some of the awesome interviews that I've been able to do over the years.

I have a desire to help leaders, here's why.

For the last six years I have been helping workers get happier as a result of figuring out work that they were wired to do.

A huge portion of leaders in our work today in America, and this is true around the world,

these leaders didn't necessarily say, I want to lead. They just said say I want to lead.

They just said I want a promotion, I want a bigger paycheck, and if I got a lead, a part of it, I'll suck it up.

And they haven't been developed, they haven't been trained, they haven't been mentored, and that's why the world of work has so much stress in it, so much griping and just people biting and just people biting a nail to make it through to the weekend. So this is my heart.

And I'm coming at this leadership stuff from a perspective of a guy who's talked to people who aren't being led

well by the thousands tens of thousands so three people three stories let's start with what I learned from a president.

He was George W Bush and it was a fabulous conversation in front of 5,000 leaders and one of the questions that I asked him in our hour together is from the research
