Show Highlights: The more layers you have in between the leadership and others, the less leaders are in touch with the real needs of the company. @SouthwesternCEO Use the “Show me” approach. @SouthwesternCEO I don’t want to be right, I want to be for what’s right. @SouthwesternCEO As you move away from emotions and closer to the facts, everyone starts to agree. @SouthwesternCEO In our startups, we put very little capital on the front end. @SouthwesternCEO For startups: create a tract to run on, put everything in writing, and begin leading others to do the same thing. @SouthwesternCEO Our leadership comes from the ground up. @SouthwesternCEO A big part of a leader’s role is to lead by example. @SouthwesternCEO In a startup, make sure you don’t run out of runway. @SouthwesternCEO Data alone is worthless unless you have something to compare it to. @SouthwesternCEO Better to own a small percentage of a huge pie instead of the entire small pie. @rory_vaden Leadership is about you helping your team. @rory_vaden Rory shares the biggest insight about leadership he discovered in his own life. @rory_vaden Leadership stretches far beyond the skillset of what that leader does every day. @rory_vaden The day you become a leader is the day you become more concerned about the wellbeing of the people around you then you are about your own. @rory_vaden Leadership means you are looking out for the best interest of the people going on the journey with you. @rory_vaden The day I became a leader was when I began to make decisions based on how they would improve the lives of other people. @rory_vaden The Action Catalyst is a weekly podcast hosted by Rory Vaden of Southwestern Consulting every Wednesday.
