Leadership resiliency isn’t built in comfort—it’s forged through failure, change, and the relentless pursuit of growth. Mike Lepper, CEO of Impact Networking, shares how his rise from entry-level sales to the C-suite was fueled by grit, adaptability, and a shift from a “driver” mindset to a “multiplier” approach that empowers others to succeed. In this conversation with Adam Markel, Mike unpacks the challenges of promoting great performers into leadership, the role of managers in retention, why culture thrives on transparency and trust, and how embracing change with clear communication builds both personal and organizational strength.
