In this week’s episode, I explore why passionate leaders are essential for building great businesses.
If leaders lack passion, their teams simply can’t find the spark to deliver extraordinary results.
Drawing on current political examples, I contrast Peter Dutton’s passionless leadership and the disastrous election results for the Liberal Party with Donald Trump and Bobby Kennedy Jr., who both embody the courage that comes from deep passion.
Passion gives leaders the energy to innovate, to care, to speak the truth, and to drive progress even when resistance is fierce. Without passion, fear dominates, mistakes are hidden, and truth is avoided.
I outline why passion creates spiritual energy that enables leaders to care deeply for their teams—and how this caring translates into high performance. I also explain how passionate leadership invites others to care, contribute, and go the extra mile.
If your leaders or teams are struggling, it may be because they’ve lost touch with their passion. This is what I help unblock.
For a spark of inspiration, I share the empowering message from the song Flashdance...What a Feeling. Take your passion, make it happen - and build something extraordinary.
