In this episode, we’re joined by Jeffrey Sanow—former Senior Intelligence Officer for the CIA, strategic leadership presenter, author of Humint for Humanity, and a storyteller with a wealth of real-world experience in the highest-stakes environments.
Together, we unpack why change management is never just about systems—it’s about people.
Jeffrey shares sharp insights on what makes communication work across personalities, power structures, and cultures. We explore how great leaders tune into what others need (not just what they want), why inexperience is often an asset, and how ego—when left unchecked—silences innovation.
You’ll hear:
- Why psychological safety is the ultimate litmus test for ego in the workplace
- The critical role of listening in effective leadership
- How diverse, committee-based decision-making unlocks creativity
- Why failure isn’t the enemy—it’s the sign you’re pushing boundaries
- What it really means to lead by serving those who work for you
This episode is a masterclass in human intelligence—strategic, relational, and emotional. If you’re a leader, coach, or just someone who gives a damn about people and performance, don’t miss this one.
