OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

Christopher Williams

ARCHETYPE

The Navigator

Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.

Christopher Williams reads as The Navigator because he treats adversity as intelligence to steer by. Surviving a 24 day coma and emerging paralyzed, he systematically rebuilt ownership of his masters, his label infrastructure, and his creative identity, recalibrating without ever losing direction. His chess not checkers framework, applied equally to business betrayals and personal transformation, marks a leader who reads conditions others miss and plots the course accordingly.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY NAVIGATOR

I realized young that no one really cares. And that's not a bad thing, because most of us are trying to get an understanding of what life is instead of getting an innerstanding of what your purpose in your life is.

ON SURVIVAL AND SELF-DIRECTION

I wanted equity ownership. As you start to understand how your store works — I've always been a person who wants to know how the FedEx package actually gets there, every detail.

ON LEARNING THE MUSIC BUSINESS

I started seeing that I was clearly a little bitter, but I knew I wasn't ready to address it because in adverse situations I had reacted violently instead of like a smart, mature man — and those were things I needed to change.

ON STRATEGIC SELF-CORRECTION
