Why Leaders Should Lead With Logic Before Emotion | Dr. Mitch

Why do smart leaders make their worst decisions when they are emotionally charged? Emotional intelligence in leadership starts with knowing the order that matters: step back, think it through logically, and let emotion come after. Dr. Mitch joins Greg to explain why starting emotional and adding logic later puts the odds against you.

In this conversation: - Why so many of us stay stuck in a selfish version of I, and how empathy means asking where the other person is coming from - What a craps table in Vegas teaches you about getting hyped into bad decisions - Why leaders are usually the worst at raising their hand to ask for help, and why Dr. Mitch credits most of his success to doing it - How a Navy SEAL's idea of focusing on the six inches in front of you can get someone through the next six minutes, and how Greg worked through the loss of his son Sam

Dr. Mitch, author and host of the Truth Talks Podcast, has spent nearly three decades studying the human body, behavior and mind. His show tells the stories of people who found success through tragedy.
