00:00If you want to be a better leader, here's one thing you can try today.
00:03Jamie Dimon is the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, and he said the biggest thing that ruins leaders
00:08isn't arrogance, it's insecurity. Here's the one habit he uses to make sure he doesn't fall
00:14in that trap. According to Dimon, insecure leaders slowly start to build a bubble around themselves.
00:19Their direct reports stop bringing them bad news. Their workers stop challenging their ideas.
00:25Eventually, they're only hearing what they want to hear. So here's what Dimon does.
00:29After every board meeting, he literally leaves the room so that directors can speak freely
00:33without him there. He even encourages those who disagree with him to make their case directly
00:39to the board. This behavior signals two important qualities. First, it shows humility. And second,
00:45it's a sign of confidence because secure leaders value criticism. They're not afraid of it.
00:50You probably don't run JPMorgan, but you can steal the same leadership habit. So here's today's
00:55challenge. At your next meeting, ask your team, what am I missing? And then just listen. The best
01:01leaders don't have all the answers, but they create an environment where others feel comfortable sharing
01:06their perspectives.
