Great leaders are built from the inside out. Leadership training typically focuses on the externally visible behaviors of leadership; however, in this episode, we consider the parallel journey a leader should take internally to become an authentic leader. Darren Reinke is the author of The Savage Leader, a book which provides a blueprint for becoming a great leader through the adoption of 13 Savage Principles. Listen in as we ask Darren to walk us through some of these leadership principles.
Darren explains why the first principle, Identifying and Anchoring to Your Values, is foundational to the other 12 principles as our values help guide our decisions and keep us on track. Other principles we talk about include: Adapt Best Practices for Authenticity, Forge Unbreakable Bonds with Your Tribe, Focus on Self-Awareness, and Take Action to Maintain and Regain Focus. Do you struggle with patience, wrestle with doubts, or strive to overcome fears? Listen in as Darren describes how great leaders need to be introspective and willing to put in the hard work to develop self-awareness and become the great leaders that they aspire to be.
Darren is the founder of Group Sixty, an executive coaching and training company focused on building great leaders from the inside out. Group Sixty works with leaders and teams at Fortune 500’s, mid-market companies, fast-growing startups, and visionary non-profits.
