What does it mean to really lead with positivity? This week on MissionCTRL, Ramon and Jorge chopped it up with Tom Matthews, Managing Partner at M.C. Fence, to unpack how intentional optimism and emotional intelligence are reshaping the workplace.
Tom doesn’t just talk about leadership—he lives it. From fist bumps and thank-you notes to sharing tough truths with grace, he’s mastered the balance between being relentlessly encouraging and refreshingly real. In this episode, he breaks down the difference between regular positivity and toxic positivity, and why it’s crucial for leaders to set the right tone everyday in the office.
They dive into how sports coaching and business leadership overlap, why soft skills deliver hard results, and how to lead a multigenerational team. Tom shares actionable takeaways you can bring to your business right now, including how to promote progress, build trust, and eliminate gossip culture in the workplace.
With insights from decades of leadership, Tom shows us that great leadership isn’t about ego, it’s about empathy. Whether you’re a startup founder, a coach, or business owner, this episode is packed with strategies, actionable steps, and heart. Tune in and learn how to lead with humility, consistency, and trust.
