Why do some leaders consistently outperform their peers?

What is it that differentiates the most effective leaders from the rest?

My guest on this episode is David Dodson, the author of “The Manager’s Handbook: The Five Steps to Build a Team, Stay Focused, Make Better Decisions, and Crush Your Competition” In addition to being an accomplished author, David is a faculty member at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, a successful serial entrepreneur, a board member of more than 40 companies, and an active investor in over 100 businesses.

During our conversation David and I discuss:

• His research on the five must-have skills from people who get things done
• Why you should be hiring based on outcomes, not likability
• Why he believes “Instant Performance Feedback” is so powerful and how to do it
• How the most effective leaders find an additional 80 minutes a day without working longer
• Why being good at seeking and taking advice is a competitive advantage
• His advice to HR on how to improve the quality of leaders at your company
