058. Leadership Lessons from the CIA with Marc Polymeropoulos

Today we take leadership lessons from a world that most of us cannot fully imagine, the world of a CIA operative.

We are joined by Marc Polymeropolous, one of the most decorated CIA agents of all time.  Marc is the bestselling author of “Clarity in Crisis – Leadership Lessons from the CIA”

He shares with us 9 leadership principles that he developed during his 26-year career in the CIA.  Mick and Marc then unpack each of these principles for application in life and in business.

Marc is the bestselling author of “Clarity in Crisis – Leadership Lessons from the CIA”

The 9 principles are:

1. The glue guy/gal
2. Adversity is a Performance Enhancing Drug
3. The Process Monkey
4. Humility is best served warm
5. Win an Oscar
6. Family Values
7. Be a people developer
8. Employ the dagger
9. Finding clarity in the shadows

🎧 Listen in to hear from Marc about what each of these principles mean to him and how you can apply them to your leadership.
