48 – The Importance of Proactiveness in Leadership– Justin Ayars

What do you do when you feel you are treated unjustly?

Do you suck it up? Do you complain? Or, do you do something to fix the problem?

I prefer the latter because proactiveness is a characteristic of strong leaders.

I have always appreciated people who take the initiative to solve problems. That is why I was delighted to have Justin Ayars as a guest on “When Leaders Talk.”

Justin is a serial entrepreneur, CEO, and founder of EqualityMD.

His company is on a mission to address discrimination in healthcare for members of the LGTBQ+ community (yes, there is discrimination. It’s absurd, right?).

Justin and I explore his perspective on leadership, and taking advantage of Justin’s experience in the startup ecosystem, we also talk about the importance of getting ready, starting with building self-awareness, to increase the chances of success.

Of course, we talk about the LGBTQ+ community and how he has struggled to keep his sexual orientation hidden in some workplaces.

Justin is a fantastic human being who takes the initiative to make the lives of many better and easier.

Listen to him because there is a lot of wisdom from which to get inspired.
