The 5 Minute Leader is a weekly series available for paid subscribers on Substack. This is a preview version, to watch the video subscribe on Substack and get daily leadership wisdom to make you an amazing leader.

In today’s episode of The 5 Minute Leader, I share a transformative leadership lesson from Keith Barr the CEO of InterContinental Hotels Group which employs over 325,000 people around the world. Keith was one of the CEOs I interviewed in my book, The Future Leader and one of the things he did that made him and his company successful was spend time with people who were less senior than him. This sounds like common sense but it’s something very few leaders actually do!

As it turns out this is crucial not just for developing self-awareness but also for being able to identify new opportunities and mitigate any challenges that come your way.
