Managing partner, Gary Cohen, spoke about what it’s like to walk the ridgeline. As a special guest on Manya Chylinski’s podcast, he offers insights about balancing humility and ego within leadership.
Gary introduces us to the powerful metaphor of walking the ridgeline – the delicate balance leaders must maintain between excessive ego on one side and debilitating humility on the other. This balance, he argues, is essential for authentic leadership that inspires rather than demands compliance. Through compelling stories and practical insights, Gary illuminates how our earliest experiences with authority shape our leadership approach, creating what he calls a cascade of fear that ripples through organizations.
