Lee Cockerell, retired Executive Vice President of Walt Disney World, has a conversation on what it means for a leader to do their homework before deciding what comes next.

The conversation covers asking better questions, seeking different perspectives, knowing which decisions require extra care, and having the confidence to admit when you don\u2019t know the answer.
