Episode 1867:
Mike Smerklo reveals how he used hard-won leadership wisdom and decision-making frameworks from legends like Welch, Jobs, and Bezos to know when it was time to move on. His honest analysis makes a compelling case for why knowing when to step aside can be the most powerful move a leader makes.

Quotes to ponder:
"A leader with a compromised 'will' is dangerous. To be clear, there is nothing wrong with losing the will, it's only problematic if you don't recognize it and act accordingly."
"The gap between what I was good at and what the company needed had become too large."
"Done right, you can feel good both about being done and how the decision was made."
