Episode notes

Doug Conant talks to Andy Lopata about the professional relationships that had the most impact on his career. He recalls three bosses in the early years who understood him and wanted him to succeed. They helped him to develop his philosophy of valuing other perspectives and celebrating contributions from employees. This showed that as a leader, he had built a strong foundation, he was paying attention, making it personal and in time it became reciprocal.                                                   Resources included the Ted Talk by David Brooks 'Should you live for your resume or your eulogy?'                                                'Good to Great' by Jim Collins                                                  'Quiet: the Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking' by Susan Kane                                                                            'Dare to Lead' by Brene Brown
