Who we are as people has as much to do with how we are as leaders as any other facet of our experience. The story we tell ourselves and others contributes to how we both serve and set direction. Fluent in the nuances of these talents is Peter Lynch, who joins Brian Comerford and Nick Lozano to discuss the importance of sharpening focus, failing skillfully, and finding strength in our own ugly advantage.
