I recently went to Raleigh to attend the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce’s breakfast series called C-Suite Perspectives. The organization typically enlists a CEO to talk about his or her views on leadership. I’m always interested in these events because I have spent the last 35 years working as a talent management and leadership consultant with large corporations. In that work, I regularly hear senior managers pontificate on their views of what makes a good leader. But what I’ve learned is that there is often a huge difference in what I watch them do and what they said they do.
At this breakfast meeting in Raleigh I got to hear Brad Wilson, CEO for Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, talk about leadership. I walked away convinced that if I visited him at work, I would see the connection between what he talked about and what was important to him as evidenced in his behavior as CEO.
Wilson challenged the people in attendance at the breakfast with a series of questions.
