Summary
Is obsession with "The Win" actually preventing it? John Leach CEO of FLS Transportation shared with me that fixating on the win is the fastest way to lose control. He breaks down what happens when he walked away from "personality-first" leadership to build a system where success isn’t a roll of the dice. It made me reflect on some of my own team's results where we delivered short term but they weren't always sustainable. Wish I'd chatted with John years ago! We discuss: The End of the "Charismatic" Leader: Why being "outgoing" eventually fails and the specific system that must replace it. Volatility Proofing: How to lead through government-induced market shifts and economic chaos. Transactional vs. Transformational: The only shift that allows you to scale a resilient team. The CEO Secret: Why elite performers ignore the final numbers to focus on controllable actions. Stop chasing the outcome. Start mastering the activity. Question: Could your team repeat last year's wins without you looking over their shoulder? ----- Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben Fanning Speaking and Training inquires Subscribe to my Youtube channel LinkedIn Instagram Twitter
