The World’s #1 Personal Development Book Podcast!
In today’s episode, we have the pleasure to interview Ryan Leak, author of How to Work with Complicated People: Strategies for Effective Collaboration with (Nearly) Anyone.
Ryan is a New York Times bestselling author, executive coach, and speaker who delivers over 100 keynote talks a year to Fortune 100 companies, pro sports teams, and world-class organizations. He’s also the author of Leveling Up and Chasing Failure, and his mission is to help people lead better, collaborate better, and live better—even when it’s complicated.
In this episode, you’ll learn why the people around you matter more than the job title on your résumé, how to improve your own emotional intelligence before expecting it from others, and practical ways to transform tension into teamwork, especially when working with difficult personalities.
We hope you enjoy this incredible conversation with Ryan Leak.
