The Aerospace Executive Podcast
News:Business News
Many people talk about wanting to be leaders, but the truth is, most of us aren’t doing what it takes to become leaders.
Leadership is about more than money, status, or power. Those may be perks of the job, but effective leadership is dependent on having uncomfortable conversations, making tough decisions, and taking radical ownership of everything that happens in our businesses.
How can we make the necessary mindset shift into that of a leader, so attributes like accountability become second nature to us? Is it even possible to learn to be a leader, or is it a trait we need to be born with?
In this episode, President of MR Fairfax, Robert Houghton and I discuss what it really means to be a leader.
"Leadership is not always doing the fun or nice thing, it’s doing what’s right for the business." -Robert Houghton
