In this opening segment of Jim Carlough’s talk on the Six Pillars of Effective Leadership, he reflects on his non‑leadership family lineage—carpenter, mason, chicken farmer—and notes that leadership is not genetic for him. He recounts that most of his professional life has been spent in leadership roles, yet he realized early on that he was a poor leader, lacking knowledge and a roadmap.
