Leading As A Whole Human And The Power of Second-in-Command Leadership, With Kristie Clayton

Welcome back to The COO Solution Podcast! In this episode, host Derek Fredrickson sits down with Kristie Clayton, founder of Herverse and a seasoned second-in-command leader turned visionary, to explore what it really means to thrive in leadership.


Kristie shares her journey from COO to CEO, the power of Integrator–Visionary partnerships, and why embracing “whole human leadership” transforms not only how we lead, but also how we live. From the sandbox analogy for vision and execution to building trusted communities for women executives, Kristie’s insights are packed with wisdom and practical takeaways.


If you’ve ever wondered how to balance strategy with emotional intelligence—or how to step fully into your role as a leader without losing yourself—this conversation is a must-listen.


In This Episode:

  • [01:32] Kristie’s journey from second-in-command to visionary leader.
  • [06:21] The “energy boost vs. vampire” test: how to find your leadership sweet spot.
  • [10:42] Why visionary–integrator partnerships are essential for scaling.
  • [16:07] How to say “no” without stifling your visionary’s ideas.
  • [20:59] The sandbox analogy: creating space for ideas before execution.
  • [23:35] Whole Human Leadership—bringing strategy + emotional intelligence together.
  • [28:38] A real-world story of leading with empathy instead of just data.
  • [33:55] The origin of Herverse: building community for women second-in-command leaders.
  • [41:30] What to expect from Herverse membership, mastermind, and annual summit.
  • [45:22] Kristie’s gift: a special discount for listeners to join Herverse events.


📌 Why This Matters

True leadership isn’t about titles or doing it all—it’s about alignment, energy, and leading as your whole self. By embracing the integrator–visionary dynamic and connecting with supportive communities, you can grow faster, lead with confidence, and create lasting impact.


✅ Action Steps for Listeners:

  • Identify whether your current role is giving you energy or draining it.
  • If you’re a visionary, give your ideas a “sandbox” before execution.
  • As an integrator/COO, practice saying “tell me more” instead of “no.”
  • Explore communities like Herverse to surround yourself with peers on the same journey.
