It also gets you in the flow, gets you in the zone.

And you also feel a certain inspiration and motivation to say important things because you've got all these people paying attention to what you're saying.

So it gets you really in the zone.

And then all the people are listening and it cultivates a flexible mindset, which is so critical in leadership and business, where you're constantly reevaluating your hypotheses based on new evidence, new information.

And that's what those meetings are like.

And people really want to be in those meetings.

Who's the best leader you've ever experienced?

I've had the fortune to have lots of great leaders in the company that I've led.

If I had to point to the best leader, I'd have to say three, because by definition, I thought they were the greatest leaders in the company because I promoted them to be CEO of the three companies.

These are the people I felt that were most qualified, most suited to lead over 100,000 people.

And

They're very different.

So you look at Mario Harek for XPO, you look at Malcolm Wilson for GXO, you look at Drew Wilkerson for RXO.

On the surface, very different ages, different backgrounds, different cultures, different accents.

One's from Lebanon, one's from England, one's from South Carolina.

They look very different from each other.

But when you dig down to the things that matter, not the superficial stuff, but the more important things,

They're identical.

These are people who are honest to the bone.

That's critical for a leader.
