Leading with Authenticity & Humility Part 1 with Mark Chipman - The 10-Minute Leader S1 Ep7

How important is it for leaders to be authentic and humble?

 

Mark Chipman is best known as the Chairperson of True North Sports and Entertainment, the company which owns the Winnipeg Jets.

 

He is a businessman, holds a law degree from University of North Dakota and has also received many accolades throughout his career, one of which was that he was made a member of the Order of Manitoba in 2012. 

 

But more importantly, he is an excellent leader who has a huge heart for people. His authenticity and graciousness shone through during our conversation.

 

My biggest takeaway was how Mark values humility in his leadership.

 

I was honoured to have a chance to hear his thoughts on leadership. I wish the conversation could have lasted way longer!

 

Some key quotes:

"Leaders create leaders."

"Leaders need to lead their own lives."

“True leadership is service.”

 

In Part 1 (Part 2 to be released soon), Mark talks about:

• Challenges that leaders need to overcome.

 

• Leadership not being a rank.

 

• Leaders needing to lead their own lives.

 

• Characteristics of leaders who excel in their role. 

 

• Being HUMBLE as a leader. 

 

• Leaving a legacy in the people around you.

 

• The importance of consistently reminding the people around you of their worth and their potential.
