S16E12: Kris Engskov

Kris Engskov, now a healthcare entrepreneur, discusses serving as the personal aide to President Clinton, the transformative experience of being a Starbucks barista for their executive training, pivoting to the health care industry first as President of Aegis Living and now as the cofounder of a venture-backed startup. He has fantastic insight into listening and asking questions, employee-first culture, servant leadership, and amazing stories from his time in the White House. Listen to the end to gain insight into his deliberate and intentional learning, as well as his advice to get in the door at the right organization no matter the job title. Top 3 takeaways: #1 Listening is a fundamental part of leadership. Great leaders constantly ask questions and listen to feedback, understand that the best ideas come from others, and are able to be vulnerable and admit when they’re wrong. All of this takes humility, as does coming to work with a servant mindset in which leaders believe they work for their employees and not the other way around. Also worth noting is how Kris became a great listener in the first place; he analyzed and criticized himself to reflect on missed opportunities and improve his own skills. This internal dialogue and reflection is a common theme across leaders who live intentionally and is something we can all strive for. #2 Kris is disciplined and intentional about his learning and thinking. He prioritizes time to follow his curiosity, avoids being led around by social media, and reads books to go deep on a subject and advance his thinking in an intentional way. #3 People early in their career should focus on the organization, not job title. Getting your foot in the door no matter what level allows you to meet the team and be first in line for future opportunities. If you’re in the right organization, your excitement and energy and creativity plus already being an internal member will allow you to absolutely fly.
