“If you don't know how to take initiative, it's probably because you haven't been in this situation before or one similar.” Today, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) shares insights about key character traits and how they can impact leadership and success. Focusing on traits like self-control, gratitude, empathy, bravery, and more, the speaker shares personal stories, examples, and evaluations of each trait. The importance of certain characteristics over others in specific situations is stressed, and advice is given on how to develop and exploit these traits for success in leadership roles.

Welcome to Build where we talk about the lessons I have learned in scaling big businesses, gaining millions in sales, and helping our portfolio companies do the same. Buckle up, because we’re creating an unshakeable business.
