Four Themes For Successful Maestro-level Leaders  
[Episode #56 of the Third Turn Podcast with Mark L. Vincent](https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/dBJGzupoEtb)

We change it up a bit with this episode!

Every week, participants in our Maestro-level leader cohorts receive a short note called the Maestro-level letter. On occasion, one of those cohort participants serves as the writer. Many of the weeks they come from me – digging into the four themes we believe need to be addressed for successful Maestro-level leaders. 

1. A job description for this season of leadership.
2. A map toward succession.
3. A future balance sheet for enterprise recapitalization.
4. A clear and communicated leadership philosophy.

We spin around these themes across the four years of cohort participation, intending to create a forward momentum that helps to slingshot successors into the future.

To further introduce these four themes, we feature a letter written on each theme, with a brief introduction to each and why I wrote it. To intrigue you further here is a one-sentence descriptor of each letter. What theme do you think each represents?

1. *Why should Mr. Putin ask for forgiveness?*
2. *A grand tapestry of profound effect. Weave on!*
3. *Moses fled from Pharaoh.*
4. *Expecting an enemy at any moment.*
