3 big ideas discussed in this episode:

Self- Awareness or lack thereof is a skill that is often missed diagnose by many leaders. It is often camouflaged by attempting to hold their direct reports accountable for results.
Leadership is organic growth, the people skills to get things done through other people requires interpersonal skills, a growth mindset and finesse.
“Expecting Great Things to Happen” is an attitude, a positive attitude to be exact. If you’re going to weather the storms of leadership and life, how you show up mentally will determine your experiences and ultimately your outcomes.
