S2E6 WALKS w/ Mike Bott: How do you lead and inspire others?

Mike Bott gave me my first true professional opportunity; he gave me my first job out of college. He had the courage to look at a 1-page A4 resume with nothing more than a couple Microsoft Office skills, a lot of fillers, and a font probably too small to be legible, and still decide to believe I could become a great professional. On top of giving me my first job he taught me a thing or two about leadership. Now, what makes a good leader?

Leadership is probably one of the biggest content churning machines out there. There's a lot of content on leadership, but too often it looks more like my first resume, with its fillers and small font, than useful content aspiring leaders can use.

To change that, in today's episode we go a step further and actually dive into leadership authentically. This is by far not an exhaustive episode on good leadership, it's just the story of a leader that I believe is really good at that, motivating and inspiring others. Mike used empathy, vulnerability and a lot of authenticity to become the Global Managing Director for LHi Group. Today he shares why he leads the way he does and how a lot of it traces back to the myriad life experiences he's had along the way.

Botty, thanks for the walk (and the first job).
