In this episode, Heather speaks with Phil Cohen about his
leadership style, his compelling and jaw-dropping background and
his rags to riches story that leads him to hire people of any
background whether ex-con or formally abused. His main focus is to
create a family atmosphere that is psychologically safe.
Key takeaways:
- Leaders can lead more from a quiet strength.
- Leaders need to be aligned with what they say they are or they will be viewed as a fraud
- If you know the leaders heart and their why, that’s all you need to know.
- Be transparent about what you stand for
- Surround yourself with people who are better than you are
- Create a morning ritual that allows you to release stress so you don’t need to bring it to work
- Leaders cannot have a secret agenda
This may be a surprising episode for many, but themes of forgiveness, teamwork and faith might resonate.
