Chuck Garcia – Leadership Communication, Executive Presence, and Emotional Intelligence

What makes a good leader? Does it change with the size of an organization? How do you find your safe place when you have to make an important presentation? And why did Michael Bloomberg have a hard time connecting with voters when he ran for President? These are some of the questions we ask Church Garcia, professional speaker, executive coach, and bestselling author. Chuck tells what he learned about leadership from Michael Bloomberg, how the rule of three helps with speech writing and picking the successor to a CEO, why having a goal to build long-term value is better than having a specific exit multiple in mind, how command-and-control leadership contrasts with collaborate-and-connect and why we need both styles, why sales is a chess match, why great leaders are more adaptable than the competition, why business should adopt a scientific approach to experimentation where the only failure is bad process, how finding one thing to fix in your presentation leads to everything getting better, why leading with your heart when your customer needs data driven analysis is a mistake, and why you should never underestimate the importance of intuition.
