What does it really take to rise to the highest levels of leadership, and stay there? In this episode, I sit down with Mark Thompson, world’s #1 CEO coach and author of CEO Ready, to explore what to become a CEO-ready leader. We’ll look at the deeper work of top-most leadership: developing functional fluency, mastering seven leadership languages, and aligning your ambitions with the reality of what leadership demands. Mark shares the mindset and methods used by the world’s most successful executives, why building trust with your boss is a make-or-break move, and how to balance confident humility with productive paranoia. We dig deeper into the sacrifices leaders make, the importance of building credibility before asking for responsibility, and how to cultivate stakeholder alignment across functions, not just within your silo.
