"Be the change, not the boss" - my riveting conversation with CEO Todd Dewett

Todd emphasizes the importance of authenticity in leadership and speaking, sharing that he strives to be genuine rather than polished, making fun of himself and discussing failures rather than just successes. Todd also vulnerably shares that his wife died five months ago, describing how he relied on his team during this difficult period. 3 big takeaways from his book "Dancing with Monsters"

1. Fear drives growth when you choose to believe it - Todd explains that facing fears and inadequacies can become a catalyst for improvement, using public speaking as an example of how confronting fear can transform it into usable energy.
2. Talent matters, but chemistry matters more - He argues that communication skills and teamwork often outperform pure intelligence, citing an example of a brilliant nuclear engineering student who struggled in MBA group work.
3. Leaders help teams discover greatness - This involves building relationships, mentoring, and finding ways to validate team members rather than just managing expectations.
