A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video emphasizing connected (cross-functional) leadership and using transparent storytelling to reduce bias. The speaker advises leaders to name their functional biases aloud (e.g., “operations bias,” “marketing brain wants to move fast”) to invite challenge, improve alignment, and pivot from an individual lens to a collective story.

Through storytelling isn't a soft skill.
It's the hardest.
Work that you'll have to do as a leader, because it requires you to connect to your own biases before you can help others see theirs.
