## Resource

When I worked for David Stagney , I learned what leadership during disruption really looks like.Dave believes that innovation doesn’t start with new technology — it starts with people who are willing to challenge assumptions. In this episode he talks about how 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 — 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.That perspective shaped how I lead today.Because in every transformation I’ve seen, the biggest obstacle isn’t resistance — it’s comfort.And leaders like Dave remind us: 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦.👉 Who’s a leader that taught you how to face disruption with courage instead of fear?
