I didn’t learn the leadership lessons I teach because I was always good at them. I learned them because I was a lousy leader for a long time.
This feels very relatable! Had some mentors throughout my leadership career good and bad! But lots of those lessons feel the same. What resonates the most is culture over competence!
Yes, I always say hire for mindset over skillset.
I'd rather hire a B player who fits in with the culture than an A player who doesn't.
Most likely the B player will elevate to an A and the A player will sink to a B.
Such a amazing explanation. I learned so much from your experience about leadership. Thanks for sharing, Mate!
