How do you bring the leaders that you consult with or that you coach to nurture this quality that we have as humans and sense their environment?
23:18
Yeah, it's not something that's taught in school, right? Not today, anyway.
23:21
I think it was taught a couple thousand years ago.
23:25
Plato and Aristotle were doing a lot more sensing and encouraging to sense than they were telling people the way things were.

So I'd love to hear your lessons or your advice for advisors when they are feeling maybe unsuccessful or how do they communicate to teams when things maybe didn't go as planned or a mistake was made? How would you advise an advisor to handle those situations?
25:20
Yeah, I think this is page 143 in the book, if I remember correctly, but I suggest that all leaders today get really practiced at saying, I made a mistake.
25:30
And that's number one.
25:31
And number two is, I don't know.
25:33
I don't know the answer.
25:35
And so if you think about like Jack Welch leadership or Jim Collins leadership, or, you know, kind of old military leadership, the leader was responsible for knowing, like that was their job.
25:46
They had to intake a lot more information.

Elise is four and Robert's two.
