The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast
In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Keynote Speaker and Founder of the Caruso Leadership Institute, Joe Caruso. Joe works with a multitude of clients ranging from organization leaders to the United States Navy. His work involves helping clients understand their mindset and the collective mindset to learn how to influence those mindsets. Joe explains that a business's mission statement or purpose should be shown through their work. If there is a disconnect between what is said and what is done, it brings distrust to others.
Joe explains that without narrative there is no meaning because the comparison is crucial to understanding. Joe says that it is important to learn to feed your brain and put time into the things in the forefront of your mind. A critical point to Joe is that humans are present while they are becoming something different in life. Throughout their journey, they are still someone rather than not being present at all.
Part of being a good leader is knowing that things are bigger than you. But what does that mean for how we choose to handle these challenges? On the flipside, it's also important to assess your own self-worth. This applies whether you are a new leader or someone who has been leading teams for years. After all, how we see ourselves is the most quintessential part of leadership.

“Two tracks, the first one is, know your essence. If your essence is aggressiveness and doesn’t take no for an answer that could also be your Achilles heel. Almost everybody’s strength is their Achilles heel. If you are overly charming and you can charm the pants off of anybody, you’re probably not going to work as hard as you should. You have to understand the two sides of the coin of that power. The second is you have to know what home is for you.”
