234 Harry Kraemer: Do You Have TRUE Self-Confidence?

<p>Being a leader and teaching leadership are two very different things. Harry Kraemer found this out when he jumped S-curves later in life.</p> <p>Harry is the former chairman and CEO of Baxter International, a $12 billion global healthcare company. But more importantly for this conversation, he now teaches leadership at Northwestern University.</p> <p>Harry explains the importance of self-reflection and genuine humility, and identifies the nature of "true self-confidence." It's not about taking risks or getting up in front of people. By contrast, true confidence is a leader's ability to say "I don't know."</p> <p>Harry and Whitney discuss the qualities that make leaders both effective and relatable, and why it's never OK to say, "I don't know where you're coming from."</p> <p>Harry's most recent bestselling book is titled: <em>Your 168: Finding Purpose and Satisfaction in a Values-Based Life</em>.</p>
