Matt Wexler on Strengths, Self-Awareness and Leading From the Inside Out

Greg sits down with Matt Wexler to talk about why the work of leadership starts on the inside. Matt explains how self-awareness lets you notice what the outside world is doing to your thoughts, your body and your behavior, and why a strengths-based mindset beats trying to copy how someone else works. He shares the advice he would give high school graduates about paying attention to what gives them energy, the weekly leadership team meetings at his last role where the first question was always how are you doing, and the parallels he sees between parenting and leading. Greg and Matt also dig into what it takes for people to feel safe at work and at home, and why caring about wellbeing and holding people accountable for performance belong together instead of on opposite ends of a pendulum.
