The 5 Minute Leader: Former CEO of One Of The Wold's Largest Banks On 2 Things Leaders MUST DO But FORGET TO DO

Success is rooted in a culture that fosters a culture of engagement and innovation, where every voice is heard and every question sparks a path to success

Hello leaders!

I’m doing something new here with The 5 Min Leader series which is for paid subscribers only. In the past, these were done as short 3-5 min videos but looking at the analytics I found that most people don’t actually watch the videos, instead, they prefer to read the insights instead.

So today, instead of doing a video, I’m doing an article. For all of you paid subscribers, when you get to the paid portion you’re going to see a poll which will ask you if prefer to have these as videos or as articles. Please let me know!

Today’s leadership hack is from Candido Botello Bracher who sits on the board of Mastercard and is the former CEO of Itaú Unibanco, a Brazilian financial services bank with around 100,000 employees.

When we spoke, he shared two simple yet practical things that leaders today should be doing but oftentimes forget to do, either because they are too busy, they view themselves as being too important, they don’t have patience, or even because they surround themselves with yes men and yes women.

So what are these two things and how do you do them?
