Periodically, Greg and I like to revisit the topic of leadership builders and killers. In this episode, you get two leadership killers, as we tackle the two-headed monster of ignorance and arrogance.

• [0:25] The two-headed monster that kills leadership potential. 
• [2:06] We are accepting bribes for our silence 😂
• [2:23] Why are leaders held back by their ignorance?
• [4:34] What happens when the followers sense that the leader above them is ignorant?
• [6:22] What about when the leader admits a need for help?
• [7:47] The toxicity of arrogance.
• [9:32] Coachability is fed by humility. This is the leader’s litmus test.
• [12:01] Our transparent leadership lessons are immensely helpful to our teammates.
• [15:24] Greg shares a quote about this two-headed monster.
• [17:35] We each share our personal examples of overcoming this monster.
• [19:50] Sadly, many people who need the most help won’t seek it for themselves.
• [21:07] If leaders are going to kill this two-headed monster, they have to stop talking and start listening.
• [22:00] Know-it-alls are hard to cheer for, so successful leaders will have to eat some crow.
