Show Notes

Steve White, President of Comcast’s West Division for eleven years, and now serving as President and special counsel to the Comcast CEO, allows us to experience his personal journey of professional successes and failures, as he climbed the corporate ladder. 

In part 1 of the podcast, he provides the listeners with tried and proven wisdom on getting promoted and understanding your "whys." He states, "If you are doing something that is not consistent with your "why" and purpose, it's a problem."

He also addresses: 

  1. what he looks for when selecting leaders for a role,
  2. the need for leaders with diverse skillsets,
  3. why high-potential leaders sometimes fail to get promoted, and, 
  4. how to eliminate the "no's."

Steve's new book, Uncompromising: How an Unwavering Commitment to Your Why Leads to an Impactful Life and a Lasting Legacy , can be found on Amazon and his website, SteveWhiteSpeaks.
