This week on the Million Dollar Mastermind podcast, host Larry Weidel is joined by Bill George, an Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School and Author of the True North book. He was a Professor of Management Practice and Senior Fellow at Harvard, teaching leadership from 2004-2022.
In this episode, Bill reflects on his twenties and early thirties as pivotal learning years, highlighting the value of encountering various leadership styles and environments. He also delved into the subject of risk-taking during his term at the Department of Defense during the Vietnam War, where he learned to challenge established norms and navigate large organizations. This theme of confronting established practices is further explored through his critique of leadership in big corporations, especially referencing Boeing's 737 MAX issues as an example of lacking courage in decision-making. Bill's journey then shifts to his time at Litton Industries, followed by Honeywell and Medtronic.
