Are You a Great Leader or Just Think You Are? (feat. Don Frericks & Mike Sipple Jr.)

How do you know if you’re an effective leader, or just assuming you are? In this episode, Don Frericks, leadership development expert, joins Mike Sipple Jr. to reveal the truth behind 360 leadership assessments and why most executives don’t get the feedback they need.

We dive deep into:

• How to leverage 360 assessments to unlock leadership potential

• Why self-awareness is the secret weapon of top executives

• The hidden dangers of perfectionism and how it sabotages leadership

• Why most leadership teams are dysfunctional (and how to fix it)

• The importance of getting “reps” as a leader—just like elite athletes

If you’re in the C-suite, HR, or leadership, this episode will change how you think about self-assessment, team dynamics, and personal growth as a leader.
