13. Becoming the Purpose-Driven Leader Your Team Needs with Patrick Brensinger of Trinity Growth Advisors

In this episode of the Power of Change podcast, host Michael Praeger engages with Patrick Brensinger, a senior advisor at Trinity Growth Advisors, discussing the intersection of leadership, technology, and personal growth . Patrick shares insights from his diverse career journey, including the significance of purpose-driven leadership, especially in high-growth environments. Whether you’re a C-suite executive or a new manager, this leadership episode is full of wisdom you can start implementing in your role today.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Rather than trying to be a good “answers” leader, try to be a good “questions” leader. Your job as a leader isn’t to have all the right answers; it’s to ask the right questions and encourage your team to do the same. Then, you can figure out the answers together.

• One of the biggest challenges we’re seeing emerge is creating business objectives that align the company’s core values with your team’s personal values. When our teams are deeply and personally invested in the work they’re doing, the impact is infinite.

• When you’re planning objectives with your team, start with the 3-5 year vision, then the year-at-a-glance vision, and then break that into 90-day objectives. Implement self-care routines to win the day and the week, and achieving that 5-year vision will be inevitable.
