About Stumbling Blocks: How Great Leaders Are Made (with Jonathan Block)
Here, leaders share the moments along the way that have shaped them most deeply. Their stumbling blocks. You'll hear leaders as they really are: challenged, battered, and deeply flawed. And you'll see them picking back up, dusting themselves off, and leading again. Because if we let them, stumbling blocks make us better. Welcome to Stumbling Blocks: How Great Leaders are Made. I’m your host, Jonathan Block. I've spent the last 20 years studying leadership, and I ask leaders to take us back to the moments that aren't on highlight reel: • The day they got laid off. • The crisis that almost broke them. • The loss that re-shaped how they see the world. Join me to uncover the stumbles that make leaders great. Welcome to The Stumble. Subscribe today. Questions? Comments?
