How have I been complicit in creating the conditions I say I don’t want? | Jerry Colonna (CEO of Reboot, executive coach, former VC)

Соціаліз та блід на Олі осіб. But everybody else, especially in the entrepreneurial community. All our companies are moving up and to the right. Every product is working. We don't really have any problems because we're crushing it. And that's just a lie. The question that I often ask is how have I been complicit in creating the conditions I say I don't want? The purpose of this question is actually to evoke your own agency. A perfect example of that would be, I say I don't want to feel busy all the time. But the truth of the matter is, I feel really unnerved and disconcerted if my agenda isn't jam-packed. So if you want to create a high functioning team, do your work and it starts with the person who has the most power.

Today my guest is Jerry Colonna. Jerry is one of the most well known and respected executive coaches in the world. He's co founder and CEO of Reboot. An executive and leadership development firm grounded in the belief that better humans make better leaders. Prior to coaching, Jerry co-founded Flatiron Partners with Fred Wilson, which ended up being one of the most successful early stage investment funds in the world.

He's also partner at JP Morgan Chase and is the author of two books, Reboot and Reunion. As you might expect, this ended up being a very real and very open conversation. About being busy. And self inquiry. And the dangers of a growth mindset.
