"To be a great leader, you have to become a great person." Reed Hastings spoke to our Endeavor Entrepreneurs gathered last week at 1440 Multiversity in Scotts Valley, California. In a wisdom-filled hour - masterfully moderated by Endeavor Global Board Member Joanna Rees - the Netflix Chairman dropped nearly two dozen amazing insights on us. One after the other, tightly packaged in memorable language with useful frameworks and colorful anecdotes. It was awesome! I found myself furiously scribbling notes as he talked about building a "team not family" culture, letting performance be the ultimate judge, "farming for dissent," and managing a 200-person leadership team at a company of 13,000+ people. But the most impactful thing he said was possibly the most simple: to be a great leader, you have to BECOME a great person. I will carry that one with me for a long time. So simple, so true, so good. Thanks, Reed! And congrats Nasim Novin and team for an amazing Endeavor Outliers Retreat!
Thanks for sharing Allen Taylor (and Reed). Conversely, I have found the more I build my leadership capacities, the better a person I become. Win-win! Glad you all had a great retreat .
