One of the most important aspects of leadership is understanding who you are. In a multi-episode series, I'll explore various aspects of getting to know yourself better. In this episode, we start with some basics on what you enjoy doing and then talk about how your motives impact what kind of leader you are. The episode wraps up with my experience with my own motives.

Getting Started Knowing Yourself

Knowing Your Motives
