Go for something that gives you energy, purpose does to energy, what a laser does to light. It focuses the energy around one point that highly motivates you. Every leader wants to bring more energy to the table. But does that have to mean pushing harder and working longer? Or is there a better way?
Welcome to How Leaders Lead. I'm David Novak, and every week I have conversations with the very best leaders in the world. To help you become the best leader that you can be. Now my guest today is Klaus Kleinfeld. The former CO of both Siemens and Alcoa. Which makes him one of the only people who's led a Fortune five hundred company on two different continents.
These days he's helping tech and biotech companies through his firm K two elevation. I love how passionate Klaus is about leadership development. He's out to help leaders avoid burnout.
