The Survivor's Guide to Life

In hard times, good leadership is critically important. In this episode, Peter shares from his personal experience of learning the qualities of a good leader. From an early age, Peter was expected to take a leading role in his family's construction business. His desire to learn benefited from both positive and negative examples of leadership. Brutal treatment at home and on the streets sharpened his survival skills and gave him a heart to protect others from victimization, exploitation and prejudice. He communicated to his employees that they mattered, gaining their respect and appreciation. He worked to develop strength in those he led, to build their confidence and abilities. He encouraged them to rise to difficult challenges and grow. In our next episode, Peter will share how he has continued to motivate and enable others to take on painful and difficult challenges in the face of adversity.
