Keynote speaker, Customer Success Coach and Podcast Host Bob Mathers is warning all of us not to fall into the trap of thinking everyone else but yourself in your organization, industry and social media has all the answers. In talking to some of the most successful business leaders in the world, Bob discovered something fascinating. "They're riddled with the same insecurities and fears as the rest of us." This gap between perception and reality is killing authentic leadership. Bob advocates for the "three-legged stool" for every major leadership decision: Is it good for the company? Is it good for the team? Is it good for me? "If we can't find a positive for all three legs of that stool, we need to keep looking for a solution." Even with all the change and uncertainty an AI world brings, Bob reminds us to remember our humanity. "Maybe it's as simple as just being human, leaning into tht things AI will never be. It will never be curious. It will never be vulnerable and never be creative." Walk your talk as a leader. Your team is always watching, looking for alignment between what you say and how you act. Once you lose that trust, it is nearly impossible to win back. This episode has been sponsored by Meter. Head to meter.com/marketimpact to learn more.

Howard Behar, who as President took Starbucks from 28 stores to more than 15,000 across five continents. realized early on that impactful leadership is about accepting limitations. "I couldn't control everything. It was impossible." He literally flipped the script, embracing a simple, powerful servant leader approach focused on a constant curiosity and asking questions. "We weren't in the coffee business serving people. We were in the people business serving coffee." It was hard to get fired for missing your numbers. But mess with people? You were done. Empowerment in a growth environment is everything. "Let the person who sweeps the floor choose the broom." Be the servant leader who helps your people grow as humans, help them grow as professionals and help their achieve their personal goals in life.
