Dr. Jessica Tracy is the Director of the Emotion and Self Lab at the University of British Columbia, and someone I have been looking forward to interviewing for a long time. Back in 2016 she published a book titled: Take Pride: Why the Deadliest Sin Holds the Secret to Human Success.The title grabbed my attention.Largely because the form of pride that I have seen more often discussed is hubris. Which shows its face in different ways:An overinflated egoPeacockingFlaunting success Dominance and instilling fear as a leader, etc.This hubristic side is well known, but what Jessica's work shows is that pride has another face. One that is essential for helping us become our best, brightest selves. In the right doses and the right contexts, pride has been proven to boost creativity, motivate altruism, and confer power and prestige on those who display it. Today we'll dive deep into this, covering hubristic pride, but also really exploring this less often discussed form of pride. What she calls authentic pride.Which when harnessed may just hold the secret to success. In today's episode:How to cultivate authentic pride, including practices of getting quiet, listening to your life, and asking big questions about who you want to be and becomeKey differences between hubristic and authentic prideIntriguing findings that Jessica and her team have discovered about pride, both it's drawbacks, and surprising benefits in life, at work, and in relationshipsDominance and prestige - two leadership styles that manifest from hubristic and authentic pride and the impact each style has on teams, and organizationsWhy authentic pride can be a catalyst for creativity, innovation, and thriving organizational culturesThe connection between pride and grit - how experiencing authentic pride can be the fuel for perseverance toward very long term goalsHow cultivating authentic pride can be a path to living wellI hope you enjoy the conversation with Jessica as much as I did!Did you find this conversation inspiring?

Sign up for the event at Bamboo, Royal Oak, June 27th Sign up for The Automotive Leaders Letter When was the last time you stepped away from your job for more than two weeks? Not a working trip when you're available by phone and email, but a true, unplugged vacation? Jan recently did just that — a four-week trip to her native Wales to reorder her priorities and recharge her soul.For most leaders in the automotive industry, a four-week vacation sounds like a fantasy. Or if it's possible, it sounds irresponsible. Who would lead the company? How would work get done? Yet Jan found that time off was not only an opportunity to refill her tank but also a chance to trust and empower her team.“I don't care if you're gone for a day, for a week, or for a month, you empower somebody else to make decisions,” Jan says. “Allow others to step up and lead.”Join the adventure on this special episode of the Automotive Leaders Podcast as Jan recounts long walks by the sea, watching sheep from a coffee shop, and the inspiration she took from some of the most exciting and innovative Welsh automotive companies.Work culture in America too often sees vacation as a sign of weakness or a lack of commitment to a job, but current executives have an opportunity to break the stigma and celebrate authentic rest. Through a deeply personal journey through her homeland, Jan gives a blueprint for other leaders to follow.Themes discussed on this episode: A contrast of American and European work culturesThe new perspective found on vacationCreating Space for CreativityHow to rewire your brain with new habitsFinding projects that fuel your soulThe team leadership benefits of extended time offFeatured Expert: Jan Griffiths (Host)What she does: Jan is the co-founder and president of Gravitas Detroit, an organization dedicated to cultivating authentic leadership in the automotive industry by providing courses, workshops, speaking events, and more. She is also the host of The Automotive Leaders Podcast.On leadership: “Leadership is identifying somebody to take your place. I don't care if you're gone for a day, for a week, or for a month. You empower somebody else to make those decisions.”Episode HighlightsTimestamped inflection points from the show[1:42] Back to her roots: Jan shares why she left her corporate job in the auto industry and, more recently, how that same motivation led her back to her native Wales for four weeks.[3:36] Breaking the habit: Jan lists her priorities for her trip and the daily routines she wanted to change. More than a personal challenge, this was a battle against American work culture. Unlike many European nations, America does not guarantee paid vacation.[5:24] West Farm: Jan's favorite place in South Wales helped her hit the reset button on her life. Check out her coastal retreat at West Farm.[7:12] Data behind the break: Taking more vacation days increases the likelihood of receiving a raise or bonus within three years. Jan explains why the work-first culture in automotive may be harmful in the long term.[9:56] Into the whitespace: Leaders should be...
