The Clint Betts Show

What makes a good leader? This is a question Clint is devoted to exploring to discover what it really means to lead with excellence. Something that great leaders have in common is a philosophy of unity and accountability. They understand when it's time to convince versus when it's time to convene and great leaders spend more time bringing their people together, rather than pushing them in a single direction.

Where are the grandchildren? Someone needs to sit these boomers down to explain how and why encrypted technology exists. Or maybe a millennial staffer could show them how much money the government they happen to lead spends on cybersecurity every year. Either way, an intervention is needed.Thank you for listening.

I asked Traeger Grills CEO Jeremy Andrus how we get out of this current economic downturn. "How do we get out of this? he replied. "For better or worse, we don't all get out of this. This is part of the culling process of an economy, and it's the invisible hand that fixes it, that takes care of all these things. And it's the intersection between things right-sizing themselves, inflation right-sizing itself." Read more at CEO.com. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ceonewsletter/message

I was born in Utah and, God willing, I'll die in Utah. To live in this state, one must have some sort of relationship or view on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Rumor has it they founded this state. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/clintbettsshow/message

One thing I like about the news is the formality. They create an aura of professionalism and seriousness, which somehow makes you forget they're incapable of either. Don't get me wrong—I like a good charade. Why not dress up like you're going to a cocktail party every night while reading words someone else wrote off a teleprompter? The deadly combination of formal wear, an expensive haircut, and a somber look can change the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/clintbettsshow/message
