Josh, Elijah, and Thomas talk about Monday's interview with Dr. Peter Kerr. Their discussion includes how leaders should balance a public presence while still being able to focus on their leadership where it matters most, the value of thinking of organizations as a collections of silos that leaders must exist beyond, and the importance of equipping yourself with new "tools" for leadership. They also discuss their strengths when it comes to "the ABCs of Communication" and some of the keys for networking effectively.\nKey Takeaways:\n- Peter's definition of leadership: Being able to make a decision before there's an obvious answer (a paraphrase).\n- Be self-aware and intentional.\n- Be a life-long learner and always be looking to grow through new opportunities.\n- Leadership is a service. If you are in it for yourself, you're in it for the wrong reason.\n- Be someone who can deliver results and put others first.\n- Be a good gift-giver.
