Eric Kaufmann: Transformative Leadership and the Four Virtues

Courage is walking toward what you'd rather run away from. It takes conscious, consistent and creative effort to make a life worth living.
What makes a great leader? Eric Zimmer sits down with Eric Kaufmann, an expert in leadership development, to uncover the essence of effective leadership. Kaufmann, the author of 'The Four Virtues of a Leader', has a rich background consulting for top executives at companies like Sony and T-Mobile. In this engaging conversation, he breaks down the core virtues that shape successful leaders: efficiency, effectiveness, deliberation, and courage.
Kaufmann starts by revisiting the parable of the two wolves, offering a fresh perspective on how our inner battles reflect in our leadership styles. He likens leadership to the Hero's Journey, emphasizing that true leaders are those who face their fears head-on and use their experiences to serve others. This episode is packed with practical advice, from overcoming procrastination to understanding the difference between fear and anxiety. One standout moment is Kaufmann’s discussion on the 'illusion of fearlessness'.
He argues that real courage isn’t about the absence of fear but about taking action despite it. He also dives into the concept of spiritual surrender, explaining how letting go can be a powerful tool in leadership. Listeners will find valuable insights on building discipline and grit, essential traits for anyone looking to lead effectively. Kaufmann wraps up by stressing the importance of vision in creating strong communities and practices.
If you’re seeking to enhance your leadership skills and navigate the complexities of guiding others, this episode offers a treasure trove of wisdom.
