In this captivating episode of “Joseph Jaffe is not Famous,” I sit down with the remarkable Ann Betz, co-founder of BEabove Leadership, to explore the psychological underpinnings of leadership and the impact of narcissism in both business and broader societal contexts. 

The key takeaways from this episode are not just words but calls to action and introspection: 

1. Narcissism vs. Confidence: The perils of leadership rooted in narcissism, contrasting with the empowerment of confidence and humility. 
2. Empathy in Coaching: The irreplaceable value of genuine empathy in coaching and leadership, beyond what AI can offer. 
3. Integrity in Action: The significance of integrity and mutual support in entrepreneurial ventures. 
4. Cultivating Leadership: The transformation from positional authority to true leadership that inspires and generates more leaders.
