#121: Condoleezza Rice, former U.S. Secretary of State – Play to your strengths

Today’s guest is Dr. Condoleezza Rice, the former U.S. Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. She’s undoubtedly one of our nation’s most admired and successful leaders.

These days, she’s the Director of the Hoover Institution at Stanford and recently became a part owner in the Denver Broncos, where she led the hiring effort for their new head coach.

It’s not every day that you get to learn from a leader who’s negotiated with Vladimir Putin and performed a piano concert for the Queen of England! 

There is so much we can learn from Condi’s remarkable leadership skills. And while she is incredibly humble, she also knows how to play to her strengths. 

She understands her unique skills and contributions.

And she steps into any situation with a firm grasp on how she can apply those strengths and get the right outcome. 

Now, that’s something that all great leaders need to understand.
