<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/71995051/admin/#">Mike Bott</a> gave me my first true professional opportunity; he gave me my first job out of college. He had the courage to look at a 1-page A4 resume with nothing more than a couple Microsoft Office skills, a lot of fillers, and a font probably too small to be legible, and still decide to believe I could become a great professional. On top of giving me my first job he taught me a thing or two about leadership. Now, what makes a good leader?</p> <p>Leadership is probably one of the biggest content churning machines out there. There's a lot of content on leadership, but too often it looks more like my first resume, with its fillers and small font, than useful content aspiring leaders can use.</p> <p>To change that, in today's episode we go a step further and actually dive into leadership authentically. This is by far not an exhaustive episode on good leadership, it's just the story of a leader that I believe is really good at that, motivating and inspiring others. Mike used empathy, vulnerability and a lot of authenticity to become the Global Managing Director for LHi Group. Today he shares why he leads the way he does and how a lot of it traces back to the myriad life experiences he's had along the way.</p> <p>Botty, thanks for the walk (and the first job).</p>
