Do Good to Lead Well at 100! Lessons in Leadership from our Top Guests

Today is a very special day in the Do Good to Lead Well universe! The podcast officially turns 100. It is hard to imagine how far we have traveled together in a very short time. It is impossible to do justice to the amazing conversations we have shared together.

To mark this very special occasion, I curated some of the most inspiring and thought-provoking insights shared by the CEOs, bestselling authors, and TED speakers I have spoken with over the past 2 years. I picked the clips that attendees most commented on during or after the live broadcast.

My goal on putting this episode together was to provide a masterclass on self-leadership. After sharing these powerful clips, I’ll provide my commentary, linking the threads together and connecting them with past guests.

At the close of the episode, the tables are turned as Alan Mulally, the former CEO of Ford Motor Company and my collaborator on my latest book, asks me a question or two. I hope you enjoy this extended episode as much as I did putting it together.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why we need to manage things and lead people.
