The Leader’s Greatest Skill Isn’t Strategy—It’s Presence
About this episode
Success doesn't come from doing more. It comes from becoming more present.
In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with former multinational CEO and leadership mentor Hank Minor to explore one of the most overlooked leadership skills of our time: Presence.
After more than 50 years in leadership, Hank reveals why many successful executives eventually hit a ceiling—not because they lack strategy, but because they've become disconnected from themselves.
