Leadership is not about having all the answers. It is about asking the right questions.
In this episode of Above the Clouds: Stories from the Boardroom, Richard Byrd sits down with Ken Proctor, Founder of The Grey Pointe Group, to talk about the lessons that come from decades of leadership, career pivots, and helping executives think more clearly about the challenges they face.
Ken reflects on his journey from a long career in the shoe industry to building and selling his own company, and how those experiences shaped the work he does today guiding leaders through peer groups and executive coaching.
The conversation explores why curiosity is one of the most underrated leadership skills, how strong peer networks create accountability, and why the quality of your questions often determines the quality of your decisions.
