Dan Truex is a military veteran, a Lexington, KY law enforcement officer and the CEO of GuardLogic, a security company that provides top-notch security by pairing great people with real analytics to build out a custom program that focuses on constantly improving. He is also a devoted and loving husband and father. In this episode, Dan shares how, while touring college campuses at the young age of nineteen, he made a big life decision that set him on a path of learning and leadership. Dan shares the ways in which his commitment to self-awareness has served him throughout his life, both professionally and personally. He discusses with Hakim how doing a self-audit and consistently revisiting his values created greater clarity and confidence in making tough decisions and/or staying the course along his journey. So, can perfectionism be a good thing? How does a person meet or lead themselves when they’re feeling feelings of emptiness or lack of fulfillment? Why is self-reflection and self-awareness so important in both determining and creating what you want in your life? What happens if we aren’t able to clearly define success for ourselves? How does a person’s relationship to failure impact how they’re able to enroll others in their vision? What is the value of participating in a 360 Review and getting honest feedback from everyone around you? How important is it to have a loving and supportive spouse by your side? Why is it so necessary to create relationships with people who will provide you with honest, regular feedback? As a leader, how do you stay open to different perspectives and why is it so necessary to not always need to be right? There are so many valuable twists and turns that this powerful conversation with Dan ends up taking. Dan shares so many amazing leadership lessons and tips. So listen well and enjoy the conversation!
