Retail Leadership with Steve Worthy

About Retail Leadership with Steve Worthy

You’ve earned your position. Now let’s make sure you lead like it. Retail leadership isn’t what it used to be. And if you’ve been doing this long enough, neither are you. The job gets bigger. The expectations get louder. But the guidance? That usually disappears right when you need it most. And most leaders are left figuring things out quietly while still being expected to have all the answers. This podcast is for experienced retail leaders who’ve already proven themselves and know there has to be a better way to lead than just carrying more. I’m Steve Worthy. I’ve spent over 30 years working across retail — from boardrooms to regional and district markets, through restructures, reinventions, and the parts of leadership no one really prepares you for. I’ve coached thousands of retail leaders and advised teams that support the retail industry, and this podcast exists for one reason: To give you the perspective and clarity most leaders are expected to figure out on their own. Now let’s make sure how you lead actually matches it.

   Everyone Leaves! But is it your job to keep them?
