The Leadership Lie | Steve Curran | TEDxSavannah

What if the leaders we celebrate are actually the ones holding their organizations back? Steve Curran spent 23 years in the U.S. Navy, discovering that real leadership has nothing to do with being the strongest person in the room and everything to do with building people who will eventually surpass you. Steve Curran is the CEO of Khaki Consulting, where he works with growth-minded founders and leadership teams who look successful on paper but feel trapped because everything still depends on them. A retired Navy Chief, he trained leaders for high-stakes operations and now challenges a deeply held cultural belief that great leadership is about personal achievement rather than multiplying others. He lives in Savannah and is fiercely proud of his family and unapologetically devoted to the Philadelphia Eagles. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
