Leading with Character: Timeless Traits of Impactful Leaders

Prepare for another powerful episode of Powerhouse Perspective: Empowering Leaders for Business Breakthroughs!

In episode 18, we're diving into a topic sparked by a recent conversation we held regarding the people we've met, the impressions they made, and what those interactions revealed about leadership.

Drawing from the 14 leadership traits taught in Marine Corps officer training—memorized with the acronym “BUCKLE DID TIE JJ”—we reflect on the values that have shaped our approach to leadership for decades.

In this episode, we discussed:

✅ How first impressions have shaped leadership presence over time

✅ The enduring leadership traits that influence trust and perception

✅ Why being mindful of these traits has the power to strengthen—or weaken—every interaction

This wasn’t a scripted breakdown—it was a candid conversation on leadership, character, and the subtle ways in which everyday moments reveal a leader’s true values.
