Do you realize how much greatness lies within you? In this episode, Kevin talks with Dave Durand about the mindset and virtues necessary for leading others effectively and ethically in today’s complex world. Dave describes the concept of giants, those we lead who have incredible potential, and stresses that leading them involves creating an environment that promotes autonomy, impact, and growth. He shares his four core virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. He clarifies that these are not outdated ideals but timeless strengths that help leaders make better decisions, act fairly, demonstrate courage, and maintain self-control. They also discuss building a strong leadership pipeline, succession planning, and why the goal of any great leader should be to become irrelevant.
