Leadership is Tricky was born in 2019, as a platform to share experiences in exercising formal and informal leadership with a broad and diverse audience across a wide spectrum. A by product of us living our PURPOSE to serve and give back to servant leaders everywhere.
Joe has spent years curating the wisdom of practitioners, and in this episode, we strip away the theory to get to the grit of what leadership actually looks like on the ground.
We tackle the hard stuff:
- Why writing is the single most effective way to sharpen your decision-making.
- How to build a culture of curiosity in organizations that are naturally wired for compliance.
- The reality of "leading in the gray" when the stakes are high and the path isn't clear.
If you’re tired of the buzzwords and looking for actionable, battle-tested insights to sharpen your edge, this conversation is for you
