fader coaches c eos and high fliers in the financial services industry, ones kind of like a real life wendy wrotes from the show billions. I want you to just commit that you're in it for the long hall, that you will succeed. Her character treats hedge fund big wigs, helping them to basically get over themselves. You are a winner. You're

in the special forces here. Doctor
Speaker 1
fater says, when we fall into stressful situations, it's possible we do out of character things. It's
Speaker 2
not impossible that, in my mind, any of us, when exposed to certain situations, could make poor choiceof but
Speaker 1
for the most part, we are who we are.
Speaker 2
I say it's unlikely that someone who doesn't have the wiring to do it at all would make those choices, but i'm sure it is possible. And
Speaker 1
when it comes to leaders, some of the same traits that make them successful also make them more susceptible to crossing the line. They
Speaker 2
tend to be in some way somewhat narcisistic. An excellent leader i someone who is able to really have a high level of self confidence. You know, there is a very thin line between self confidence and arrogance. But it's a fine line. And it's a fine linefor being able to ignore things that are important to other people, like feelings or consequences, and doing it so much that you're putting yourself or other people at risk. Does
Speaker 1
success at a young age change how people are as leaders?
