Great leaders know that if everyone is consistently agreeing with you, there's a problem. This episode shares a quick story from my days as a SWAT team member that taught me one of the most valuable leadership and success lessons of my life. It's one lesson that I continue practice, and it has allowed me to experience the success I've enjoyed so far.

Here's 5 quick takeaways for you:

  1. Just because someone sees something differently than you, doesn't mean one of you is wrong. 
  2. Even when you think everything is going just fine, someone close to you can be having a terrible experience. 
  3. Leveraging the perspective of those around you who are committed to the same goal is a powerful recipe for improvement. 
  4. Micro-adjustments can be more valuable than big changes. 
  5. Being an outstanding leader isn't about telling people what happened or what's going to happen, it's about creating an environment where they can discover those answers without you saying a word. 

The greatest leaders encourage diversity of thought, not unwavering compliance.
