Ron Harvey explores leadership principles with Joe Davis, a 37-year BCG veteran who shares insights on authentic leadership and balancing career with family life. Together they unpack how leaders can build stronger teams by showing genuine care while maintaining accountability.
• Leaders work for their people, not the other way around
• Never save feedback for performance reviews – deliver it in the moment
• Showing you care gives you permission to be direct and challenging
• The most effective leaders are comfortable saying "I don't know"
• Create family traditions and prioritize important events to balance work/life
• Ask questions and listen genuinely to navigate generational differences
• Vulnerability is strength – asking questions shows you value others' perspectives
• Executive presence comes from authentic confidence, not pretending to know everything
• During chaos, a leader's job is to provide calm confidence and draw out the best ideas
Check out Joe Davis's book "The Generous Leader: Seven Ways to Give of Yourself for Everyone's Gain" available on Amazon and all major booksellers.
