Have you ever found yourself in a leadership role—whether guiding a team, driving a client project, or shaping a business—without an official title? In this episode, I sit down with leadership expert and author Kevin Eikenberry to unpack the power of flexible leadership and how it can drive both relationships and revenue. We explore how great leaders don’t just react—they lead with confidence, even in uncertain times. Kevin shares insights from his latest book, Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence, diving into how leadership is a verb, not a title, and how adaptability is the key to long-term success.

We cover everything from defining a clear vision to leading through uncertainty and creating buy-in with your team. Kevin’s practical, real-world strategies will help you navigate change, communicate effectively, and inspire action—even when the future feels unpredictable. If you’re ready to step into leadership with confidence, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways you won’t want to miss!

Topics We Cover in This Episode: 

  • The surprising truth about leadership (and why it has nothing to do with your job title)

  • The biggest mistake leaders make when setting a vision—and how to avoid it

  • Why uncertainty isn’t your enemy—and how to turn it into an advantage

  • How to adapt when your plans are blown up a week after you make them

  • The “IKEA Effect” and why it’s the secret to getting your team fully bought in

  • The one leadership practice you should be doing every single month (but probably aren’t)

  • Why over-communicating is the key to trust—and how to do it without sounding repetitive

  • A mindset shift that will completely change how you handle challenges in leadership

Tune in now to discover how flexible leadership can help you navigate uncertainty, inspire action, and build lasting success.
