It’s not easy being a leader. Some would argue that you were either born a leader or not. The same could be said for being a great supporting coach to a hard-charging leader. Enter executive fellow at Harvard Business School and former Medtronic CEO Bill George. George is viewed by those in the C-suite as one of the most successful CEOs to ever have done it. While driving major growth at the healthcare device company, George has been able to also serve on the boards of the world’s largest companies such as Target (TGT) and ExxonMobil (XOM). Since leaving Medtronic as CEO in 2002, George has focused on spreading leadership lessons learned from a career that started in the Defense Department in the mid-1960s. Based on his experience, George thinks Vice President Kamala Harris picked the right running mate in Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. He believes Boeing (BA) just picked the right CEO in Kelly Ortberg, and Starbucks (SBUX) in Brian Niccol. And for good measure, he thinks CEOs make too much money!

Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi goes in-depth with George on these hot-button topics and much more.
