About this episode

Adam Quiney discusses how leaders often contribute to the culture they complain about and emphasizes the importance of self-awareness in leadership.

Most leaders believe they are reacting to culture, pressure, or the people around them. But often, they are participating in creating the very thing they complain about. Leadership is not just about what you say or do, but about who you are being. In this episode, Adam Quiney explores the idea that "the leader is a clearing for the thing they are complaining about."
