What sets great leaders apart in times of crisis and change? In this week's episode, John shares a powerful insight he gained from Chick-fil-A chairman Dan Cathy on the importance of self-awareness and situational awareness for leaders — especially in tough times! After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss practical ways to cultivate these awarenesses as a leader. They explore how seeking honest feedback, asking thoughtful questions, and learning from role models can expand your leadership capacity. Key takeaways: Self-awareness doesn't happen in isolation—it requires the courage to invite feedback from others and the humility to receive it. Before you can lead yourself effectively, you must first know yourself authentically. Self-awareness precedes situational awareness.
