I have always believed that optimism and empathy are two of the most powerful leadership traits. Change, especially technological change, can bring anxiety. The role of leadership is to manage that anxiety with honesty and transparency. Tell your people the truth: this will be hard, but it will also open doors you didn’t know existed. In our industry, disruption is constant. Instead of ignoring the challenges, we should help others see what’s possible beyond them.

When you set up a business, you tend to be across everything, and as the business and your team grows, there are challenges and opportunities as you let go of some things and embrace a different role. In this episode of the Grow Your Influence podcast, we are talking about some of the challenges we face as our role changes and we need to move from working mostly ‘in’ the business, to needing to work more ‘on’ the business. This transition can be difficult, particularly if you are a technical specialist and a ‘doer’. Letting go of the doing, trusting others to deliver and stepping into the strategic side of the business can be a huge challenge. We discuss how you can make this shift in small ways so you build trust with your team and build your confidence in them delivering on your goals. You can listen to this episode on Spotify (or anywhere else you enjoy listening to your podcasts): https://lnkd.in/gZk8FTTg Have you transitioned to a more strategic role as your team grew?

In many family businesses, the CEO is chosen by default: the oldest sibling, or next in line. But as Adam Blecker explains on the Growing Up B2B Podcast, real success comes from asking: Who's the right leader for the business? By focusing on what the company truly needed, his family made the right call and kept both relationships and results strong. 💡 How has your business approached succession planning? 🎧 Listen to the full episode on Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/enTWTQDZ 🎧 Listen to the full episode on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/e2aV4J8p 🔗 Full Episode: Link in the comments 🎙️ Want to be a guest on the podcast?

The wrong people in the room will always cost you. Too many executive meetings look like leadership theater: too many titles, too few decisions. Somewhere between updates, turf battles, and “let’s circle back,” real business momentum dies. In this episode of The Talent Sherpa Podcast, I dig into the high price of bad room design. Every unnecessary voice adds a “time tax” that quietly erodes execution speed, clarity, and accountability. When you build your executive team around titles, you get politics. When you build it around decisions, you get performance. The best CHROs and CEOs design their rooms for outcomes, not optics. They ask who sharpens the decision — and who slows it down. “Titles don’t move a business forward. Decisions do.” Listen and watch wherever you get your podcasts and videos — search for My Talent Sherpa. #TalentSherpaPodcast #LeadershipPerformance #HumanCapitalStrategy #CHROInsights #DecisionVelocity Watch the entire episode here: https://buff.ly/DLyRIsU 🎧 Listen on YouTube | Spotify | Apple Podcasts
