He shared a fresh and honest perspective on sales leadership: “We tend to promote our best salespeople into leadership roles, but just because you’re good at sales doesn’t mean you’re going to be a great leader.”
We talked about:
- Why organizations struggle when they promote performers, not servant leaders
- Where you spend your team, determines where you place your value

Authenticity in communication is very important for leaders who represent a brand or a team.
As much as you want to write a script and as much as you rehearse, at some point you have to be able to put the script down and speak authentically.

Whether you're a seasoned leader or you're aspiring leader, you're in the business of making decisions.
Wouldn’t you love a guidebook for decision-making?
I was excited to bring onto the Leadercast podcast an insightful leadership coach and author, Greg Bustin. (He wrote our book of the month for July, How Leaders Decide!)
Greg’s book is 52 vignettes intended to be read weekly, which feature decisions made by leaders during some of the biggest moments in history, from Julius Caesar to George Washington.
We talked about leadership, decision-making, evaluating decisions, and how accountability is essential to leadership success.
If you’d interviewed over 16,000 people, you’d learn something, too.
Leadership lessons from world-renowned athletes, like what it really means to be tenacious. And how to leverage mentors and not rest on your laurels.
We got to interview a professional interviewer, Kate Delaney, sports radio broadcaster, speaker, and author of most recently Deal Your Own Destiny. She shared with us the challenges she overcame in sports radio and how to find (and embrace) your wow.
“It took 500 rejections for me to get my first show as a sports talk show host,” Kate said.
Being a captain in the United States Army Reserve prepares you more than you might think to become Miss USA.
Whether you’re an experienced leader in a new leadership role or brand new to leading others, you may be feeling a little uncertain.
The wrong way to go into a new leadership role is not to listen at all and change everything all of a sudden.
The right way...? It’s nuanced, but you can do it.
That’s why we sat down with Naphtali Hoff about his transition from education leadership to leadership coaching--to hear the lessons from his book, Becoming the New Boss, that he wishes he had when he was a new leader.
“The challenges to a large degree are universal,” Naphtali said. “The idea of understanding what you're getting into and building relationships is frankly what leadership is all about.”
Being a captain in the United States Army Reserve prepares you more than you might think to become Miss USA.
Both require conquering your fears, and both teach leadership lessons.
Today we’re joined by Deshauna Barber, the first Miss USA currently to serve in the United States military, who will give us a preview of some of her wisdom for the Leadercast Women event on October 18th in Atlanta.
“It was two sides of Deshauna. You have Captain Deshauna Barber, and then you have Miss USA Deshauna Barber. So it's good to show that women are diverse, and we have so many elements to us,” Deshauna said.
Two things can happen when you play basketball.
You can win, or you can lose.
Nancy Lieberman, one of the biggest names in U.S. basketball and the first female head coach in a men’s professional league, has gained insight on fearless leadership from her decades of playing and coaching basketball.
“I'm a basketball player,” Nancy said. “I'm wired to win, and I'm wired to compete.”
Nancy has essential tips for leaders about how to handle fear, how to trust your team, and how to balance work and life.
In the U.S., about 70% of people are overweight, and about 40% are obese.
Over the last 30 years, there’s been a threefold increase in overweight children.
This isn’t healthy for us, our families, or our teams. In this episode of the Leadercast podcast, David Nico, a peak performance strategist, keynote speaker, certified coach, and author of Diet Diagnosis, will explain how health optimization can positively influence work culture.
“A poor diet, the drug culture--I want to emphasize--this is not normal,” David said.
Leaders don’t live on islands.
They grow best in communities of leaders who invest in them.
Susan Packard, the cofounder of Scripps Network Interactive (and speaker at our upcoming Leadercast Women event in October), attributes her success to examples she could follow, tools she could use, and people she could inspire.
She isn’t an interior designer or a gardener, but was instrumental in establishing HGTV.
She isn’t a financial guru, but was the backbone of the growth of CNBC.
For Susan, it wasn’t about what organization she was leading, but the people she could lead.
“You get a team of people together that can help you to make something successful,” she said.
Andy Stanley is the Founder of North Point Ministries, which has grown from one church in 1995 to seven now in the Atlanta area, plus a network of more than 90 churches around the globe.

In this episode, Andy shares the leadership principles that have guided North Point’s growth, including his thoughts on how to hire well, creating a brand that people want to be aligned with, and how to establish flourishing teams.
Dysfunction has the power to derail leaders, their teams, and their organizations.

Brandon is here with us on the Leadercast Podcast to talk about how inconsistent leadership is the most dysfunctional leadership style--and how leaders can combat it.
Everybody wants to address team dysfunction, but nobody really wants to talk about it.
It's uncomfortable.
And where do you even start?
Our guest on today’s episode of the Leadercast podcast is Patrick Lencioni, a team health expert. Patrick literally wrote the best-selling book on the subject, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. He’s also the Founder and President of The Table Group, a management consulting firm specializing in team health.
Patrick walks us through how to be a leader who recognizes and addresses team dysfunction confidently and from a place of vulnerability.
Communication is the lifeblood of leadership.
If you can’t communicate, you simply can’t lead.
Good communication starts with good conversations. Conversations that are real. Conversations that matter.
In this episode, we're joined by Celeste Headlee, an award winning journalist, professional speaker, and author of We Need to Talk: How to Have Conversations that Matter. Celeste tells us about how a failed conversation spurred her to learn about how leaders should communicate.
Celeste tells us what’s wrong with communication, how to set it right, and how leaders can start having better conversations.
As humans, we are wired for community.
But isolation is reaching epidemic levels in the United States.
Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist. She has authored numerous books and travels the world as a speaker encouraging people to seek community to improve their mental health.
In this episode of the Leadercast Podcast, we spoke with Dr. Leaf about how we can control our thoughts, the mind/brain connection, the importance of self-regulation, and the power of a community mindset.
White space.
Even the sound of it is rather refreshing.
It immediately signals there is a blank canvass, ready for your creativity.
That’s exactly what many companies strive for: creative concepts that lead to innovative products and services. So … How do we get more white space in our workplaces? How do we create an environment that allows creativity and innovation to flow freely?
That’s exactly what guru of white space at work, Juliet Funt, shared with us on this episode. (Technically, she’s the CEO of WhiteSpace at Work, whose clients include brands such as Nike, Sysco, P&G, and Anthem.)
She’s dedicated her life’s work to enhancing productivity and creativity in workplace environments.
Seven out of ten employees are not actively engaged, which means the majority of employees aren't feeling fulfilled by meaningful work.
On this episode of Leadercast podcast, we hear from Dr. Randy Ross, author of Remarkable and Relationomics, about how harnessing the power of relationships enables teams to thrive.
With a new year, leaders around the globe have set new goals for themselves, their teams, organizations, or communities.
Sometimes new goals require drastic changes. How do we leaders implement change without causing panic or confusion among our followers?
We chatted with Craig Springer, executive director at Alpha USA, to discuss change management and how to provide effective leadership to help followers thrive in the midst of change.
Craig shared with us on Leadercast Podcast his insights about how to thrive - and what to avoid! - during times of change.
If you have a life purpose - a life mission - you can easily adapt to the unexpected and get right back on track.
On this episode of the Leadercast Podcast, we chat with Marilyn Tam, former CEO of Aveda group, president of Reebok, vice president of Nike, and current speaker and entrepreneur, about finding your life purpose.

“When we have purpose, when we know what our life mission is, everything else falls into place,” Marilyn said.
Self-awareness is the key predictor of success for leaders.
No, really.
It can be hard for leaders to focus on themselves--their mentality, behaviors, actions--and to really understand why they're doing what they do.
On this episode of the Leadercast podcast, we hear from Ian Cron, author, speaker, and Enneagram teacher, about how personality types can grow leaders' self-awareness.
Most leadership training target c-suite executives and other team leaders to help them improve their skills. But how can you be a leader when you're not in charge?

On this episode of the Leadercast Podcast, host Bart Keeler chats with the Founder and CEO of Headbands of Hope, Jess Ekstrom. Jess talks us through her decision making process and how entrepreneurship has helped her be intentional in making decisions that affect both her business and her personal life.
How do we find success at work and fulfillment in our life?
The answer has nothing to do with achievement and everything to do with character.
I recently had the privilege to discuss the strong correlation between success and ethics with Dr. Jim Loehr, a world renowned performance psychologist and cofounder of the Johnson and Johnson Human Performance Institute in Orlando, Florida.
What he learned applies to leaders and people who want be someone others want to follow. He calls it leadership with character.
“They show compassion for others. Those are leaders that we want to follow,” Jim said.
Navy SEAL Commander and New York Times best-selling author, Rorke Denver, draws from his 20+ years of military training to share his biggest insights on staying calm and thinking intentionally in high-pressure situations on this week’s episode of The Leadership Podcast.
It’s something that matters more than money, success, and even retirement.
It’s investment in people.
This is the truth that David Salyers. Chick-Fil-A marketing executive and author of Remarkable, has learned in his career at Chick-Fil-A, which began four hours after his college graduation and has been more than he could have imagined.
I recently had the privilege of chatting with him about why he chose a career at Chick-Fil-A, even though it offered him 75% less salary than the other opportunities he had upon graduation.
Rather than trying to retire as fast as he could, David chose to pursue work he wouldn’t want to retire from--work he wouldn’t want to quit at the first opportunity.
“If you love what you do, you'll never work another day in your life,” he said. “And so I feel like I've spent my whole life not working a day because I've loved what I've done, who I did it with, and the mission we were on.”
We’ve all encountered a workplace zombie at some point or another. I know you know what I’m talking about. Those are the people who are physically present in the workplace, but they aren’t engaged in the work that they are doing. Maybe you’ve even been a workplace zombie before.
In this episode I speak with Ginger Hardage, the former Senior Vice President of Culture and Communications at Southwest Airlines, responsible for building and sustaining the organization's legendary culture and communications enterprise. We talk about the power of purpose - and the power that it has on building a culture of greatness in our organizations.
Have you ever wanted to get everything you wanted from a negotiation? Unfortunately that’s not possible. But there’s a caveat... The better you are at developing business relationships, the more you’ll reap from negotiations and the more the other party will too.Molly Fletcher is a keynote speaker, four-time author and the CEO of the Molly Fletcher Company, which she founded after years of working with the world’s best athletes, coaches and broadcasters. Why?

Flying was in my blood.”
Carey Lohrenz is a CEO, keynote speaker, executive leadership Coach, aviator, and author of the book Fearless Leadership. She also happens to be the first female F14 Tomcat Fighter Pilot.
Growing up, Carey’s father was in the Air Force, and her mother was a flight attendant. She used to play with her brother, imagining they were flying high in the skies accomplishing all sorts of daring and incredible feats.
Carey always knew she was going to become a fighter pilot, but she had no idea how challenging that career path would be, particularly as a woman. In this episode of the Leadercast Podcast, we talk with Carey about the courage, fearlessness, and resilience she has learned about from her time in the cockpit.
Almost every leader acknowledges the importance of culture.
But few actually know how to build an engaging and lasting culture for their business.
Billy Boughey is the Founder & President at Elevate Experiences. Billy had a brief stint as a professional baseball player for the Philadelphia Phillies, but now he and his team at Elevate serve to show organizations the importance of culture. They know a healthy culture sets your company up for both the present and the future.
Growing up, Billy thought baseball was a solo act. He’d get on the mound and attempt to conquer the other team by himself. But over the years, he learned he needed the entire team, and he fell in love with the concept of bring different people’s gifts and talents together onto one team.
Billy was also raised by Hip Hop music (The Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest), and developed a love of storytelling. After his professional baseball experience, he saw there was a gap in the market for taking brand experiences and translating them to the marketplace. His background in team building and storytelling made this new career as Founder of Elevate the perfect match.
In this episode of the Leadercast Podcast, we caught up with Billy to hear about how he built his culture at his own company, and how he helps other organizations build engaging cultures themselves.
Mitch Rumppe, Associate Coach at The Whiteboard Room, shares stories of success and failure in personal development, focusing on the honesty it takes to see real results.

Kat Cole didn’t have the easiest time growing up.
At a young age, her family had to leave her father, leaving them with little opportunity or resources.
Kat is now the COO and President at FOCUS Brands, North America. She got to where she is in large part because of the behavior her mother modeled as they were growing up. As a single mother she showed her family how to be resilient. On a meager income, they were able to survive on a food budget of $10 per week.
This upbringing taught Kat how to figure things out. She never knew all of the answers, but she knew that if she kept searching, she could make the best out of any situation. This led to Kat’s journey of continual self-improvement and modeling personal change in both her professional and private life.
In this episode of The Leadercast Podcast, we speak with Kat about her story and the importance of acting on personal and professional feedback.
How do you handle failure?
Do you count up all of the ways the odds are stacked against you?
Or do you make the decision that regardless of circumstances, you are not going to let failure define your career, relationships, or life?
Scott Hamilton is an Olympic Gold Medal winner and a 4-time World Champion figure skater. From 1981-1984, he was on top of the world - the best in his sport. But Scott wasn’t always a winner, and his life has not been perfect (before or since). He has had his fair share of losing, disappointments, and difficult circumstances.
One thing has remained constant throughout Scott’s life throughout it all: he never gives up. In his new book, Finish First: Winning Changes Everything, Scott demonstrates the principles of winners who know their purpose and chase it with open hands and open hearts.
We sat down with Scott to hear about his journey and his book, and how the two are intertwined.
How busy are you?
Do you wear your busyness as a badge of honor, always looking for ways to fill up the tiniest bit of room in your schedule?
Chris Barez-Brown, author of Wake Up! believes that most people are so busy that they are on autopilot from the time they open their eyes in the morning to the time they close them at night. Their brain is so used to their routines and patterns that they are not fully present in the moment.
There is nothing wrong with filling your day with meaningful activities, but it’s tough to make the conscious choice to pay attention to your world around you. So how do you snap out of this autopilot mode even when you are doing things you enjoy like spending time with friends and family?
Chris wrote Wake Up! For these exact reasons, and he lives for helping people become more happy in the world around him. In this episode of the Leadercast Podcast, Chris talks about writing his book, the concept of being on autopilot, and balancing the conscious & subconscious parts of our brain.

People who care.
