Kevin Warsh

Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, Former member
EPISODE 144

Study the leaders around you

Today’s guest is Kevin Warsh, a brilliant economist who served on the Federal Reserve board of governors during the 2008 financial crisis. 

In this episode, you’ll get his powerful insights into our current economic climate. These are trends every business leader needs to be aware of right now.

But there’s an even bigger insight for you here, too.

When you ask Kevin about his success, he is quick to give credit to the other leaders he’s worked for. That’s how he’s grown his own leadership skills.

That’s a must-have mindset for any leader. We’ve got to actively pay attention to the leaders around us and learn from them. 

Whether you’ve got a boss who’s fantastic … or whether you don’t … you’ve still got a huge opportunity either to adopt or avoid the strategies you see other leaders using.

And this episode will help you do just that! 

You’ll also learn:

  • How to deal with doubters – especially if you’re younger than those you lead
  • What we can learn from the 2008 economic crisis (and why it matters right now)
  • The strength of a team that (respectfully) disagrees with each other
  • A powerful framework to analyze big trends in order to make sound decisions
  • What it’s like to walk into the Oval Office and interview to be Fed Chair
