One common myth about leadership is the idea of the “born leader,” whereby certain individuals are born with inherent leadership traits. However, leadership is not exclusively determined by genetics or innate abilities. Rather, leadership traits can be learned. 

In this episode of The Corner Series, McGuireWoods’ Geoff Cockrell welcomes guest Leon Brujis, an experienced investor who serves as Partner and Head of the East Coast Division of 65 Equity Partners, a global investment firm. 

Tune in to hear Leon share his thoughts on the necessary components of leadership in a private equity-backed platform, including the significance of the CEO and the characteristics and traits that make a good CEO. Leon also discusses tools such as psychometric evaluations, that can be useful in making assessments.
