Where can you listen?

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.
