"What if?" is a question everybody has asked themself in life, probably more than once. But for most people, most leaders, when we ask "What if?" it's a backward-looking question. My guest this week has a powerful reframe of the question that's worth your time. His name is Doug Fleener, he's a Personal Adviser for Growth and Change, author of the book "Start With What If" and creator of The What If Rule. We'll be discussing that reframe, how to start with what if, why a shift in perspective can make or break your leadership, and more. We hear Doug's story-so-far and talk about his experiences of leadership both as a leader and follower.
