Imagine being president and CEO of a successful, scaling company and asking those who work for you for their feedback on how you lead, how you support and how you show up. What difference would that make in how you lead and your ability to scale your organization?

Shamil Idriss, CEO of Search for Common Ground, does just that and shares with us what he's learned.

"I think that people should feel as though they are accountable to one another. Specifically others living by their same values. This includes anyone in an organization, CEO, president, VP, anyone. Become reliable on feedback from those around you."

Humility is one word I would use to describe the leaders I am able to interview. Humbled by their journeys, their successes and their failures. As we enter this new year, let me challenge you to ask for feedback on what you could do differently to be a more effective leader in 2020. As always, your comments and thoughts and wishes for Lessons From Leaders in 2020 are welcomed!
