TLP002: Tom Morris - True Leadership, A New Philosophy of Excellence - a podcast by Jan Rutherford and Jim Vaselopulos, experts on leadership development

Tom asks us to take a break and think – and know yourself. He views philosophy as a mirror to understand one’s true values and beliefs. Being self-reflective is not to slow you down, but make you better. He also said that sometimes, “Talking is a form of thinking – not just communicating.” Great people and great leaders create great relationships, and these same people know that you have to grow people to have great results. He went on to say the most common mistake is “assumptions,” and thinking that everyone is clear on their goals. He talked about the need to balance Nobility and Humility and that you must allow yourself to be vulnerable. Lastly, he believes the centerpiece of culture in an effective organization is where leaders develop people in every aspect of their lives. Visit: Email:
