Episode notes
THE BEST LEADERS ARE FORGED IN FIRE. Alex’s story of being an outsider - son of a peasant, an immigrant in the segregated south, a rugby player often tackled by guys twice his size, often underestimated … to studying at Yale and Harvard, joining iconic consulting firm Kearney and later serving as their Chairman and CEO for 6 years, is nothing short of astounding ‼️ He thrives on doing the impossible‼️ You will walk away inspired, I certainly did‼️ No wonder he is a Global Diversity List CEO winner and previously named a global Top 25 consultant by Consulting magazine. He was selected in 2023 as the #1 consulting firm CEO by Consulting Report. He served on the International Business Council of the World Economic Forum and is often featured in Harvard Business Review , CNBC, Bloomberg, Financial Times . He is the author of Joy Works. Phew‼️ In this episode, we dig into value based leadership, purpose, ikigai, and so much more.
