No one brings their A-game to work for a manager who doesn’t “walk the talk.”
In this episode, executive coach Kent Vaughn joins us to explore what it really takes to lead with integrity… starting with yourself. From self-leadership and personal accountability to giving (and receiving) feedback, Kent breaks down the core habits that separate great leaders from the rest.
You’ll learn why intentions don’t build trust, how to use the “mirror test” to stay aligned with your values, why vulnerability accelerates leadership growth, and how strong manager-employee relationships impact both retention and performance.
