Austin's Leadership Yoda Wayland Lum: Turning Corporate Ladders into Leadership Jungle Gyms
Listen now
Description
What does the movie "Inside Out" teach us about leadership?My conversation with Wayland Lum from Copperbox Leadership Advisory, who brought up "fear is the precursor to courage," reminded me of Joy and Sadness in "Inside Out."The movie is all about human emotions. And there's this interesting dynamic between Joy and Sadness in the movie. The big lesson is that you can't really appreciate joy if you've never experienced sadness. I see a similar principle in what you were saying about fear and courage. They are not as separate as we might think. They are two sides of the same coin.In this episode, you'll find out why fear isn't your enemy, but rather your courage's hype man. Wayland also shared his 8 principles of modern leadership. His moves from California to Mexico to Chicago and London. From Nvidia to Chicago Booth to Korn Ferry, now building his own leadership advisory practice in Austin, Texas. Lastly, his views on the AI coaching.Episode Breakdown:00:14—Welcome and Introductions: Meet Your Human Host (While Human Intelligence is still Valued)02:54—The Great Escape: Why Wayland decided to ditch the cushy corporate life and bet on himself.
