Doug Conant: A Top CEO's Blueprint For Leadership Success

In one of the most compelling & inspiring discussions in this podcast’s history, Doug Conant, former CEO of the Campbell Soup Company, President of Nabisco and Chairman of Avon Products, vividly describes how he felt after being fired from a senior position early in his career. But the discussion quickly pivots; Conant shares the brilliant guidance he was given which not only helped him quickly rebound, but also helped propel him into having a truly remarkable C-Suite career.

Initially, Conant might strike you as the classic demanding, direct and hard-charging chief executive. But what's revealed through the course of our discussion is a leader who deeply cares about people -- & someone who believes that organizations can no longer excel unless managers at every level show their employees respect, appreciation -- even love.

Doug Conant might just be the greatest representative of the "Lead From The Heart" ideal ever to be a featured guest. And he joins us to discuss his new book, “The Blueprint: 6 Practical Steps To Lift Your Leadership To New Heights” being published in March.
