Listen "Jeffrey Hayzlet"
Episode Synopsis
How comfortable are you being uncomfortable? Really uncomfortable. The answer to that for most people is that they’re not. We live today in a world of instant gratification, immediate release, placating, and soothing. None of these things are good for leadership and as far as Jeffrey Hayzlett is concerned, that gets to change. He knows a little about leadership having held the Chief Marketing Officer position with Kodak. He’s presently the CEO of the C-Suite Network, a frequent keynote speaker, accomplished author, and besides sitting on Boards and having launched/supported an array of companies, he’s also done a stint on reality TV. Persevering through challenging times and shifting through discomfort is, Jeff says, imperative for successful leadership and that it is those who treat the crisis as an opportunity to become a business “first responder” that determines whether they are good or great. He’s brash and direct, outspoken, and at the same time deeply compassionate and thoughtful and in this episode shares about how the biggest lessons about doing the hard stuff were forged in making tough decisions about the animals in his life.
What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast will feature guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we’ll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they’ve learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world.
