In today's episode:

A company on the brink, with barely two weeks of cash left, found its turnaround not in new strategy but in something leadership had stopped doing.

A humble admission about what blocks great leadership.

There's a simple framework for sorting people into believers, skeptics, and cynics.

CEO Daily Brief is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. Hosted by Dr. Jessica Kriegel, Chief Strategy Officer at Culture Partners. She is frequently joined by John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura.

Dave Mowry, CEO of Breg, joins Jessica to share how listening to overlooked employees and rebuilding trust turned a near-bankrupt company around, and why humility matters more than hubris in leadership.
