David Rubenstein recently interviewed Andrew Liveris - Chairman of Lucid and former CEO of Dow Chemical. Picked up some interesting learnings.

22:23: Leadership Insights.

"For Someone who is watching this and wants to be a Successful Global Business Leader, what are the skill sets? Is it Hardwork, Learning how to read well, keep continuously reading, learning how to speak well? Yes! Andrew also agreed with all those things. He also talked about Preparation.
‍

"I would Prepare - well before I got the job of was given the job or was given the nod. I would know as much about what I was about to be offered or asked to do, before taking on the role, before I actually did it".

More from Andrew - "I think - Preparing, so that when you get the right to talk, you actually have the knowledge to speak to it. People have gotten bored with facts - so blend it with interest. Personalize the facts, show examples and then demonstrate it, you". Watch David Rubenstein Show: Andrew Liveris - Bloomberg

I highlight this insight because it's often overlooked. Do you really take the time to prepare - for that interview, that promotion you're gunning for? That new Leadership Opportunity?

Are you ready to share a POV on how you would Lead? Your Hopes, Fears or Concerns and Mitigation Strategies? Do you have a Vision for the Organization? Some ideas on what you would prioritize and why?

No leader has all the answers - but listen to how Andrew approaches preparation. Good learnings here, have a Great Week ahead.
