Learnings and Missteps Jesse & Rene

From my early days as a plumbing apprentice to a seat at the senior management table, my path has been anything but predictable. Along the way, I've discovered that the essence of leadership is not just about giving orders but about listening, learning, and lifting others up. In this presentation I'm spilling the secrets that have allowed me and my teams to thrive—secrets rooted in servant leadership, crystal-clear communication, and the kind of advocacy that doesn't just benefit the individual, but the entire organization. You'll hear stories and strategies that shatter the conventional job description, offering an authentic look at the messy, yet rewarding craft of guiding others toward their potential while keeping the business sailing smoothly.

Navigating the sea of modern technology can be treacherous, as one general manager discovered in the quest for efficiency through Power BI dashboards. It's a tale of data gone wild and the dramatic course correction that followed when collaboration and humility became the compass points. We then cast our gaze to the horizon, where departmental efforts align with an organization's true north, ensuring our work is less about spinning our wheels and more about driving meaningful progress. Whether it is through shedding light on mental models or distinguishing between mere activity and real productivity, this episode is an exploration of leadership that not only inspires but creates a workforce pulsing with motivation and purpose, all aimed at achieving exceptional business outcomes.
