You’ve probably run head-first into the following leadership myth: “If you’re not born a great leader, you’ll never be one.” That statement couldn’t be further from the truth! Great leaders are made, not born, because great leadership is a skill that anyone willing to put in the time and effort can develop.

 

To learn the truth about what makes a great leader, and get first-class tips for developing your own ability to lead, join James and Dean as they welcome world-renowned leadership expert, Peter Montoya, as this week’s guest.

 

Many people’s definition of a leader is someone who’s arrogant, controlling, and has to be right no matter what. But behavior like that has nothing whatsoever to do with being a true leader.

 

One way Peter defines a leader is simply this: Someone who does things differently. For example, back when most businesses were hung up on boring corporate branding, Peter became a pioneer in the world of personal branding. He even wrote a best-selling book on the subject (which you’ve no doubt heard of): The Brand Called You: Create A Personal Brand That Wins Attention And Grows Your Business.

 

Leadership skills are essential for everyone, not just business owners, because we’re all leaders in multiple areas of our lives. Listen to this episode to get Peter’s top tips for becoming an inspiring leader who gets results.
