#8: John Spence

In this episode, I speak with the extraordinary John Spence, an author, speaker, and executive coach recognized as one of the top business thought leaders and leadership development experts in the world. John has made a career out of simplifying and communicating very complex concepts and was named by the American Management Association as one of America’s Top 50 Leaders to Watch.

I'm seriously impressed by John's work. Few thought leaders can recognize and articulate dysfunctional patterns and formulate functional solutions as capably as John. You will see that he does that brilliantly, both in discussing business and life.

Tune in to hear John's take on facing new realities as a business owner in times of a sudden crisis with no real end date; his thoughts on taming control by emphasizing what you can control and dismissing what you can't; why feelings of safety, dignity, and purpose are key to retaining satisfied employees or followers; and his tried-and-true blueprint for being a great leader, "a living example of what they hope their followers will one day become," based on competence, concern, and a healthy balance of IQ, EQ, and AQ.

This episode is part of our Silver Linings theme.
