Leadership Lessons from Successful CEOs

"It's much more useful to focus on traits rather than what you do because it's much more about who you are, not what you do." Today, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) discusses the successful traits of a CEO and emphasizes the importance of character over skills. She draws examples from iconic CEOs like Steve Jobs and Howard Schultz and provides an exercise to help CEOs acquire the necessary skills and traits to become successful leaders.
