    #280: Jay's Weekly Five: The One Thing Every Great Leader Needs

    Trust takes years to build and seconds to lose. This week on The Jay Young Show, Jay’s Weekly Five explores the idea of trust—and why it may be one of the most important currencies in business, leadership, relationships, and life. Jay shares a lesson from Proverbs 3:5 about trusting God when you don’t have all the answers, a powerful idea from Stephen M. R. Covey’s The SPEED of Trust, and a podcast that explores what it takes to build trust within a team. And even this week’s TV pick, Neagley, has a lesson about knowing who you can rely on when things get difficult. But there’s a bigger question behind all five: Are you someone people can actually trust? Jay breaks down why keeping your word, following through, telling the truth, and taking responsibility when you’re wrong matter far more than what you say about yourself. Because your reputation isn’t built by what you say once. It’s built by what you consistently do. Plus, Jay shares his Weekly Five recommendations for what to read, listen to, watch, and think about this week. Listen to this week’s Weekly Five on The Jay Young Show.

    #277: Excellence Is in the Details | Jay’s Weekly Five

    What does excellence really look like? In this week’s Jay’s Weekly Five, Jay Young shares why excellence isn’t about being perfect.

This week’s five: Word of the Week: ExcellenceBible Verse: Daniel 6:3Book: The Excellence Dividend by Tom PetersTV Show: Chef’s TablePodcast: The EntreLeadership Podcast Daniel stood out because of his exceptional qualities and the way he carried himself. That same principle applies today. Excellence is often found in the small things: how you treat people, how you serve others, how well you execute, and whether you’re willing to go beyond “good enough.” This week, ask yourself one question: Whatever I’m doing, how can I do it just a little bit better? That’s excellence. Subscribe to The Jay Young Show to never miss an episode.
