The Daily Stoic
Major General Dan Caine, Randall Stutman, Robert Greene, and Jeni Britton Bauer on Becoming a Great Leader | This is The Truly Inexcusable Thing
29 Dec 2021
Ryan reads today’s daily meditation and looks back at some of the best interviews from the Daily Stoic Leadership Challenge. Ryan talks to Major General Dan Caine about the importance of defining success before you set out to try to solve a problem, Randall Stutman about the important distinction in being subtle and being manipulative, how great leaders see themselves as stewards, not owners, Robert Greene about their experiences and lessons learned from watching American Apparel’s unhinged CEO run a publicly traded company into the ground, and Jeni Britton Bauer about how she thinks about the tension between being efficient and having the highest standards.Sign up for the Daily Stoic Leadership Challenge: dailystoic.com/leadershipchallenge → We hope you join us in the 2022 New Year New You Challenge.
