Jody will tell a story about how he crushed himself for a project that was redone the moment he left and what he learned from it.

Ask yourself, when is the last time my emotional and mental well-being was at the forefront of my happiness? This part of being healthy is often overlooked.

Hoop Morgan, the creator, and owner of Forte Institute joins Jody and Morgon this week to discuss his system and how personality assessments/profiles can be of great benefit to leaders and organizations as a whole. We talk about assessment vs. assumption, how systems like Hoop's can serve as “check engine lights” for leaders and Hoop blows our minds with how accurately his program profiled us. If you want to get in touch with Hoop you can find him on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/c-d-hoop-morgan-iii-702592/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/c-d-hoop-morgan-iii-702592/).  Jody and Morgon share a passion for leadership, love, and people. “That L Word” is their brainchild born over the best Mexican food downtown Jacksonville, NC has to offer and is meant to evoke the word, “Love” in the same conversation as, “Leadership.” We believe that leadership and love belong in the same sentence and aren't afraid to cut past the noise and talk about what really matters.  On “That L Word” we talk about love, empathy, trust, loyalty, listening, life, and ALL of the other things that people are afraid to say out loud in the same sentence with leadership. Leadership is ALL about people and people have feelings, leaders included - so get in here!

Compassion, understanding, empathy and honesty aren't always puppies and rainbows. Sometimes leaders have to show love to their people by letting them know they're not performing at the level they should. We call this honest love and it can be uncomfortable but is absolutely necessary for leaders that care for their people. When a leader fails to give someone honest feedback they are robbing them of the ability to grow.  Jody and Morgon share a passion for leadership, love and people. “That L Word” is their brainchild born over the best Mexican food downtown Jacksonville, NC has to offer and is meant to evoke the word, “Love” in the same conversation as, “Leadership.” We believe that leadership and love belong in the same sentence and aren't afraid to cut past the noise and talk about what really matters.  On “That L Word” we talk about love, empathy, trust, loyalty, listening, life, and ALL of the other things that people are afraid to say out loud in the same sentence with leadership.
