In this episode of The Leadership Exchange, host Jason Zickerman, CEO of The Alternative Board (TAB), welcomes Jim Liptrot, a purpose-driven leader whose career spans engineering, education, and executive leadership.
Jim’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and leading with heart. From rebuilding a struggling business to guiding organizations that serve youth outside of traditional education systems, Jim has always believed that people — not products or profits — are what make a company truly great.
This conversation dives deep into what it means to lead with values, stay grounded during periods of rapid change, and build culture through small, often-overlooked human moments. Jim shares personal experiences of taking career risks to pursue meaningful work, mentoring emerging leaders, and the impact of surrounding yourself with people who align with your purpose.
