Welcome back listeners to the uncommon leader podcast. This week's guest is Mark Graban. Mark is an internationally recognized consultant, author, speaker, blogger, and podcaster. He's authored or co-authored four books, the most recent being The Measure of Success... React Less, Lead Better and Improve More. He has hosted more than 600 podcasts, over many names, including his Lean Blog, Lean Whiskey, and his newest podcast, My Favorite Mistake. Mark's motivation is to "humbly help others learn how to improve and sustain performance". Now common leaders can help others, but Uncommon leaders humbly help others. It's this area that we dive deep to learn more about Mark and how he models humble leadership. He shared with me his stories and experience. He spoke about the challenges of leading humbly with regards to telling his clients what to do vs. helping them to  discover what to do. He spoke about other leaders that have influenced him how to lead as well as some examples of learning from others how not to lead(which is sometimes just as important). He spoke about the need to have empathy when asking others to change. You can follow Mark at markgraban.com.Thanks for listening to today's episode. If you enjoy it.
