    (Ep. 197) Urs Koenig: Humble leadership

    IN EPISODE 197: Humble leaders don't see themselves as better than others - they try to make others better. In Episode 197, former NATO commander Urs Koenig explores the beliefs and behaviors of radical humility and why humble leaders stand out with their approach. We cover lots of ground here, including how to lead relationally and focus on strategy, not tactics; how to build a leadership factory where we train people to leave us; and how to get honest feedback from others without creating fear or friction. Humble leaders are less involved but more relevant - and after listening to Urs, you'll be ready to start practicing radical humility as well. ABOUT URS KOENIG: Urs Koenig is a former United Nations military peacekeeper and NATO military peacekeeping commander, a highly accomplished ultra-endurance champion, a widely published professor, bestselling author, and a seasoned executive coach and keynote speaker.

    (Ep. 191) Ilana Redstone: Stuck in the certainty trap

We explore three fallacies that cause us to label others as ignorant and hateful, why "talking to the other side" isn't a magic cure, and the learnable traits we can develop to become less certain but more confident.
