Hi Zoe, thanks so much for joining us!
Having interviewed so many incredible leaders, if you had to choose one who inspired you the most! Who would it be and why?
Btw just bought the book can't wait to read it!
@harrystebbings Hi Harry! It's hard to include Warren Buffett in a group and not be blown away by him. Not only is he, obviously, an incredible business person, but his is also full of incredible wisdom applicable to life in general. I am very inspired by the way he conducts himself. Check out his Getting There essay.
@jeffumbro Jeff Kinney is a real talent, very humble, ad full of inspiration. I love what her says about keeping a young idea secret....In his Getting There essay, he, explains that if you have an idea you think is a winner, you should nurture it and take your time developing it. Kinney originally thought that it would only take him a month or two to write Diary of a Wimpy Kid -- but it ended up taking him eight years. He protected himself during that time by telling very few people about it. He explains that when you broadcast your goals you are likely to either get embarrassed if you are unable to deliver or become trapped by the social pressure to follow through with exactly what you said you were going to do. If you keep an idea to yourself you’ll maintain more flexibility (and have the necessary freedom to do the best job possible).
