In this episode of Leadership Lost and Found, we dive into the intricacies of effective leadership, exploring the importance of understanding when to step up and how core values influence leadership decisions. Recorded at Jonathan’s Grill, this episode delves into historical leadership examples and personal anecdotes, including the founding of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and valuable lessons from Rosa Parks. Join Randy and Jim as we unravel the complexities of leadership, discussing the distinction between management and leadership, and the defining moments that shape leaders. Whether it's knowing when to speak up or the importance of standing firm on your values, this episode provides insights for leaders at all levels.

Spotting talent takes....talent. You cannot rely solely on HR for assistance...you as a leader must know what good looks like...and be able to see it (or the potential for it) in others. Join Jim Desmond and Randy Fields as they talk about talent assessment (from hiring it, grooming it, and promoting it).
