#009: Becoming Inwardly Sound with John Ott

Leadership is an elusive concept. Just about everyone has their own definition of what leadership is. And, most people’s definition is a reflection of who they are rather than the actual qualities that building a healthy, successful, and growing organization requires. This poses a potential problem in the workspace by creating subjective (often unspoken) expectations of leadership. In this episode of System and Soul, we talk with our good friend John Ott, leadership development coach and Operator at Exceptional Leaders. John shares the components of leadership that he and his organization have identified through extensive research and data. Of the ten key attributes they’ve identified, two of them are responsible for three quarters of a leader’s effectiveness, according to their data. We discuss these two attributes and uncover some of the key practices many leaders often overlook when it comes to the soul of their organization.
