Shownotes

Craig Andrews interviews Tom Kereszti, a Leadership Expert, who emphasizes the importance of people skills over technical knowledge in leadership. Kereszti, influenced by John Maxwell, believes that a leader's success is more about their character than their technical abilities. He advises leaders, particularly those in small businesses, to deeply understand their own values, passions, and strengths, as this self-awareness is key to effective leadership.

Kereszti underscores the need for introspection and feedback in developing a strong leadership identity, using personal anecdotes to illustrate his points. He also discusses the Maxwell Leadership Model, focusing on servant leadership and the importance of prioritizing team needs over personal goals. Kereszti's experience of firing a top salesperson for violating company values highlights the significance of upholding a strong ethical standard in leadership. These insights offer a concise guide for leaders looking to enhance their skills.
