Insight
Cook: Human psychology prevents leaders from seeing their own weaknesses
“Psychology, our human mind, we're built to not see our gaps. We are built to think that we're just great people. If you think you're aware of all your weaknesses and gaps in the way other people are seeing them, you're wrong.”

Cook: Leaders must publicly admit weaknesses to the board to improve
“If you keep it a secret, it's not, you're not gonna change. You gotta go public with it. Tell your board, Tell your management team, I know I'm not as good at this as I need to be.”

Insight
Cook: Shadowing is necessary because leaders inaccurately describe their own methods
