Everyone has experienced pain, no matter how severe or mild, and it often originates at an early age and plays a role in shaping us. The expression “hurt people hurt people” stems from the theory that we unwittingly pass on the difficulties and pain we’ve undergone. However, this doesn’t absolve us from who we become or how we go through life.
For leaders, these personal struggles have more relevance to their careers than many would acknowledge. Thriving, respected leaders should be able to work through their issues for the sake of their families, businesses, and themselves. It is a complex process, so it helps to look toward people who have already started the healing process.
In this episode of Next Wave Leadership, Dov Pollack sits down with Raj Sisodia, the Co-founder and former Chairman of Conscious Capitalism, Inc., on growing through the struggles of life. They discuss Raj’s family dynamic, his realization in life, and his purpose going forward into the future. They also discuss how to be a stronger leader and reevaluate the ethical concerns of the business world.
