Luke Wyckoff on Firing Himself as CEO

Luke Wyckoff joins Greg Aden to talk about the lessons that shaped him, starting with his grandfather explaining why the family construction crew cleaned the job site every Friday afternoon. He shares how a whiteboard conversation with a room of healthcare CEOs turned into the company Social Media Energy, and why he later fired himself as its founder. He also names the one habit he believes separates good leaders from the rest, learning to stop talking and actually listen, and admits he spent years as the leader who thought there were only two ways to do things, his way and the wrong way. Greg and Luke close on needs versus wants, including what Luke learned living ten days in a slum in India among some of the happiest people he has ever met.
