** More About the Episode **

This episode peels back the layers on fostering a result-driven mindset and transforming your leadership style to build a culture that thrives on excellence.

A fascinating revelation in our talk is the absence of a formal or informal onboarding process when promoting individuals into leadership roles. This common mistake, as Kyle points out, often leads to the replication of behaviors seen throughout their careers. We break down this cycle, emphasizing becoming the leader we never had.

Still, it's not all about leadership; we also dive into the concept of accountability, exploring how a workplace culture that encourages action and accepts mistakes paves the way for growth.

Lastly, in an age where leadership often equals invulnerability, we challenge the status quo and discuss the power of vulnerability. I'm sure you'll find Kyle's belief that obstacles are in fact invitations as refreshing as I did.

We wrap up our conversation with the importance of choosing challenges in business, taking responsibility, and being a good human - all vital in fostering a culture of excellence. Tune in for an episode that goes beyond insightful discussions and offers a valuable resource for improving leadership skills and team dynamics.
