I had a great conversation with a former FBI Special Agent and Head of CI Behavioral Analysis Program (RET) who spent 21+ years of working counterintelligence.

I was intrigued on what he had learned about reading people. What I was not prepared for was his relentless flywheel of learning that he has developed to become a better person and leader.

The tools he developed are used to achieve self-mastery in observation, communication, and execution from a foundation of humility and transparency, whether it is with your perceived enemy, an employee, or a friend.

Robin Dreeke spent 21 years in the FBI before starting The People Formula and authoring a number of books on leadership and trust including It’s Not All About “Me”, The Code of Trust, and his latest, Sizing People Up.

As you can imagine, you can’t help but immerse yourself in his world and come out a better person as a result.

Enjoy the conversation.
