#29 Authentic Leadership When Abroad with Stefan Schwab, CEO of enlighted: Navigating Failure Culture in a New Country

Living and working abroad teaches you lessons on leading people with different cultures and background. And it teaches you what it takes to lead authentically in a Silicon Valley start-up that embraces failure. 

Stefan and I share our abroad experiences on:

1. Learning to build trust with transparency
2. The role of authenticity and the power of personal stories for promoting a failure culture, as it requires leaders to be honest, transparent, and accountable for their mistakes and shortcomings
3. Balancing personal and company values: Maintaining integrity as a leader
4. Embracing cultural differences, as hard as it may be

CEO Stefan's intercultural journey of living and working in multiple countries also helps you understand: 

1. Why Living Abroad is Good for Your Professional Development
2. The Importance of Being Multilingual in Today's Global Business Environment
3. How Experiencing Different Cultures Enhances Your Leadership Skills
