The Most Powerful Traits of Great Leaders

In this episode of #AskJackD I’m joined by Michelle Hespe, Editor-In-Chief of The CEO Magazine to talk about what it takes to be a strong leader. We take these questions: Hi Jack, what are the most important skills to develop to be a successful CEO? What is the best way to get noticed by a journalist? #AskJackD What are the don’ts when reaching out the media? You feature many prominent leaders in your magazine, in your opinion who is the greatest leader of our time and why? What ‘s your biggest weakness? Everyone says to work smart not work hard (although most of the time you need to work smart and hard). How do you take a step back and evaluate if what you are doing is truly smart? In Unwritten you speak of The Entourage having an informal culture that lends itself to innovation and how it enables your high-performance team. How does your team decide what processes need to be formalised or be allowed to occur organically?
