Leadership for Every Generation: Managing Up, Feedback, and Bridging Experience Gaps
On today’s McCoy Leadership Podcast, I sat down with executive coach John Little to talk all things leadership growth. John shared how his journey from sports and broadcasting to coaching taught him that practice and personal development never stop—no matter your career stage. We dug into overcoming limiting beliefs, building your leadership brand, and why accountability is truly the highest form of kindness. If you’re ready to level up your impact, remember: keep showing up, keep practicing, and never stop learning. For more insights, check out the full episode!

Here are three key takeaways for anyone looking to elevate their leadership:
✅ Practice isn’t just for athletes or musicians—it’s critical for leaders, too. Ongoing self-development, whether through reading, feedback, or new challenges, is the key to sustainable success.
✅ Building strong teams starts with intentional onboarding and training. If your team isn’t performing, first look at the processes and preparation you’ve provided—not just the results.
✅ Your identity as a leader is your brand. You can (and should) evolve it! Consistency, vulnerability, and a growth mindset help you connect with your team and create a culture of accountability and continual improvement.
