    Key Drivers of Engagement: Strategy, Leadership, and Execution In this episode of Virtus in Action, Genaro Torres dives into the real drivers behind employee engagement—those that truly sustain commitment over time, far beyond perks or motivational slogans. Building on the previous conversation about levels of commitment, this episode answers a crucial question: what actually drives people to stay engaged and give their best? Genaro breaks engagement down into three essential pillars. First, strategy, understood not as slides or documents, but as purpose translated into everyday work. When people know why their work matters, effort becomes contribution. Second, leadership, the bridge between vision and engagement. Leadership is not a title, but a daily practice of trust, recognition, communication, and emotional intelligence that helps others grow. And third, clarity of execution, the often-overlooked foundation of high performance. Clear roles, expectations, priorities, tools, and resources create momentum, while confusion silently erodes commitment. Through practical reflections and powerful questions, this episode invites leaders, collaborators, and individuals alike to examine how they are strengthening—or weakening—each of these drivers in their own context. Because true engagement is built through purpose, human connection, and clear execution. Hosted by Genaro Torres Virtus in Action — Where strategy gives meaning, leadership builds trust, and clarity turns energy into results.

    Motivation and Commitment - E86

    In this episode of Virtus in Action, Genaro Torres explores what it truly means to be engaged—not in theory, but in daily action. Motivation and commitment are not one-sided expectations; they are shared responsibilities between leaders and collaborators, teams and individuals, and between who we are today and who we aspire to become. You’ll reflect on the real meaning of engagement as energized commitment: showing up fully, consistently, and with purpose. Genaro introduces three levels of commitment—actively committed, ambivalently committed, and actively uncommitted—and challenges you to honestly assess where you stand in your work, relationships, and personal projects. This conversation also dismantles a common myth: motivation does not come from outside. It isn’t the job of a boss, a partner, or circumstances. True motivation is intrinsic, and lasting commitment emerges when both sides take ownership—collaborators by recognizing what energizes them, and leaders by creating spaces for meaningful dialogue, trust, and co-creation. Whether you lead a team or lead yourself, this episode invites you to stop waiting and start contributing intentionally to a culture where motivation is contagious and commitment becomes a way of being. Hosted by Genaro Torres Virtus in Action — Where energy, responsibility, and purpose turn into results.

    How to Create an Accountability Culture - E85

    In this episode of Virtus in Action, Genaro Torres breaks down what true accountability really means—and why it has nothing to do with micromanagement. Accountability is built through structure, rhythm, and human connection, and in this conversation you’ll learn how to make it part of your culture in a practical, sustainable way. The episode explores three essential ingredients to embed accountability in teams and in your personal life: 1️⃣ Structured follow-up meetings that focus on what’s important, not just what’s urgent. 2️⃣ Clear commitment tracking, using simple tools like roles, deadlines, and progress indicators to turn decisions into results. 3️⃣ One-on-one conversations that strengthen trust, ownership, and personal growth beyond metrics. You’ll discover how documentation, defined roles, and consistent cadence transform execution, while meaningful dialogue creates engagement and responsibility. When accountability is done right, people don’t feel controlled—they feel empowered, trusted, and aligned. Whether you lead a team, run a business, manage a family project, or want to strengthen self-discipline, this episode gives you a clear framework to move from good intentions to real follow-through.

    How to Take Your Strategy to ACTION - E84

    In this episode of Virtus in Action, Genaro Torres takes you to the most critical—and often neglected—level of growth: execution. Vision without action stays aspirational. Strategy without discipline fades. Real transformation happens at the operational level, where habits, systems, and daily actions bring everything to life. Using a clear and practical pyramid model, this episode connects the dots between strategy, tactics, and operations. You’ll learn how long-term vision and SMART goals translate into 90-day tactical priorities—and how those priorities must be supported by repeatable daily routines, tracking systems, and standards if you want consistent results. Genaro shares how execution works both in organizations and in personal life: documenting the “how,” creating simple operating systems, tracking what truly matters (not just urgent tasks), and building review rituals that reinforce discipline. Drawing from the Four Disciplines of Execution and real-world leadership experience, this episode breaks execution into actionable principles you can apply immediately. If you’ve ever felt clear about your goals but inconsistent in results, this episode will help you move from intention to traction—and from planning to progress. Hosted by Genaro Torres Virtus in Action — Where strategy meets discipline, and discipline becomes transformation.

    Which Are Your Tactics to Give Life to Your Strategy? - E83

    In this episode of Virtus in Action, we go one level deeper—into the tactical layer, where strategy finally comes to life. A clear vision, purpose, and SMART goals are essential, but without movement, they remain ideas. Tactics are what activate strategy. You’ll learn how to translate any goal into 90-day tactical actions that generate traction and momentum. Through practical examples, this episode explains how tactics act as the bridge between planning and execution—whether you’re saving for a personal goal, leading a business, or managing multiple roles as a founder or professional. We explore how effective execution requires structure: role clarity, aligned organizations, defined responsibilities, and the right tools and support systems. You’ll also discover why focus, energy, and accountability are as critical as the tactics themselves—and how choosing a small set of clear priorities can transform results. This episode is an invitation to stop overplanning and start executing with discipline, clarity, and courage. Strategy sets direction. Tactics move you forward. Hosted by Gennaro Torres Virtus in Action — Turning vision into results through focused execution.

    What Does It Mean to Have a Strategy? - E82

    In this episode of Virtus in Action, Gennaro Torres breaks down what having a real strategy truly means—not only in business, but in your personal life. Strategy is not wishful thinking or ambition; it is clarity, direction, and disciplined execution aligned with what matters most. Using a powerful visual framework, this episode guides you to define your vision, clarify your purpose, and identify the values that act as your personal code of honor. From there, you’ll learn how to translate long-term dreams into SMART goals—specific, measurable, actionable, relevant, and time-bound—so intention becomes progress. You’ll also explore how classic strategic thinking, like the Balanced Scorecard, applies beyond organizations and into life itself, helping you create balance across health, relationships, finances, learning, spirituality, and contribution. Because true strategy is not about doing more—it’s about doing what truly matters, consistently. This episode is an invitation to stop improvising your future and start designing it with intention. Strategy is choice, focus, and trade-offs—and execution is where it all becomes real.

    Humility, Essence, and the Samurai Spirit - E81

    In this episode of Virtus in Action, Gennaro Torres invites you to reflect on humility as the true beginning of mastery and the foundation of continuous growth. Drawing inspiration from Japanese martial arts and the timeless philosophy of the samurai, this conversation reframes success—not as a destination, but as a lifelong path of learning, presence, and self-discovery. You’ll explore why every achievement, every “black belt,” is not an end but a new beginning. How humility opens the door to deeper learning, sharper awareness, and a more authentic connection with your essence. This episode challenges you to let go of ego, question assumptions, and rediscover the power of curiosity as a daily discipline. Gennaro also introduces the idea of the modern samurai: a person committed to personal excellence, emotional intelligence, discipline, and service to others. Someone who balances hard skills with empathy, resilience, and purpose—living by values rather than titles, and choosing honor over recognition. This is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with the present, and align your actions with what truly matters. Because fulfillment is not found at the finish line, but in how you walk the path.

    Etiquette, Respect, and Victory Over Yourself - E80

    In this episode of Virtus in Action, Gennaro Torres continues his journey through Japan, sharing a deeply personal reflection on etiquette, respect, and the true meaning of victory. Rooted in the traditions of Budō and inspired by the 128th anniversary of the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai, this episode goes beyond martial arts as technique and reveals them as a path of character, discipline, and inner growth. From training in the legendary Butoku Den Dōjō to participating in sacred purification rituals at the Ise Grand Shrine, Gennaro explores how Japanese culture embodies kokoro—the unity of heart, spirit, and essence. Every bow, gesture, and ritual becomes a lesson in presence, humility, and respect. This episode invites you to rethink hierarchy, etiquette, and daily discipline not as rigid rules, but as tools for self-mastery and service to something greater. Through stories of kata, silence, cleaning the dojo, and mindful repetition, Gennaro shares a powerful truth: the real victory is not over others, but over yourself. You’ll be invited to reflect on your own life as a living kata: Are your actions aligned with your principles? Are you honoring your word in the small things? What does “victory” look like for you by the end of this year? A contemplative episode about honor, consistency, and refining your character—one conscious action at a time.
