435. From Hostess to COO: The Meteoric Rise of Kat Cole

Are you in search of a leadership style that combines empathy, decisiveness, and continuous personal growth? Kat Cole, the dynamic President and COO of Athletic Greens, is a testament to the power of such an approach. Her journey from working as a waitress to leading major corporations is nothing short of inspirational. Growing up in challenging circumstances, Kat learned the importance of hard work early on. This experience instilled in her a blend of humility, empathy, and a relentless drive for success. Her story is a reminder that your beginnings don't dictate your future, but your choices and actions do. Kat introduces us to the "hotshot rule," a unique self-assessment tool. It involves imagining a highly competent person in your role and asking, "What would they do differently?" This practice encourages us to step out of complacency and strive for continuous improvement. Whether you're leading a team, managing a project, or just starting your career, applying this rule can ignite a transformative journey. As Kat says, "Every decision is a chance to learn." Let her insights inspire you to embrace growth and make decisions with empathy and courage. To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/pods .
