254: Urs Koenig: Radical Humility-Be A Badass Leader AND a Good Human

Our guest today says you can be a badass leader AND a good human, going from heroic to humble in your approach. It's all via the concept of Radical Humility.
Urs Koenig can help you Manage Smarter! He is a former United Nations military peacekeeper and NATO military peacekeeping commander, a highly accomplished ultra-endurance champion, a widely published professor, bestselling author, and a seasoned executive coach and keynote speaker with more than three decades of experience helping hundreds of leaders and dozens of executive teams unlock new levels of achievement across four continents.
He is the founder of the Radical Humility Leadership Institute and speaks frequently on the topic of leadership to corporations and associations across the globe.
He holds a PhD in geography and a Master of Science from the University of Zürich, Switzerland, and an MBA from the Australian Graduate School of Management. He is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and holds numerous master coaching certifications. Urs is the loving father of two teenage boys who make commanding soldiers look easy. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
