Kyle McDowell takes us on his journey from a cramped cubicle to leading a massive team, focusing on a shift towards 'we'-oriented leadership. He really hammers home the idea that making a difference and nurturing genuine connections matter more than just climbing the success ladder. McDowell dives into the struggles leaders often face, like battling with ego and feeling the pressure to fit a certain mold. He's big on owning up to mistakes and having each other's backs. McDowell draws inspiration from leaders like Harry Kramer, who walk the talk and own their actions.
In his chat with Mark, they get into the nitty-gritty of responsibility, problem-solving, and leading by example. They break down the 10 principles from Kyle's book, 'Begin with We,' stressing the importance of doing right, walking the talk, and sticking to your word. Their talk drives home the point that leaders need to be accountable, push each other, and tackle challenges head-on to foster a top-notch culture.
