What if the key to exceptional leadership isn't commanding authority but leaning into vulnerability? What if the moments you feel most uncertain are the ones that hold the greatest growth opportunities?In this week's episode of Where Brains Meet Beauty, host Jodi Katz delves into these questions with Henry Davis, CEO of Sakara Life, and Debbie Perelman, a partner at InviNext Growth. Together, they explore how leading with radical candor, authenticity, and empathy can ignite team transformation.Debbie opens up about how Kim Scott's Radical Candor changed her perspective on leadership through behavior. Instead of fearing difficult conversations, she learned to approach them with honesty and care. For Henry, navigating leadership with ADHD has further shaped his belief that vulnerability isn't a weakness—it's a superpower. When leaders are transparent about their challenges, they create environments where teams feel empowered to do the same.But what does radical candor look like in practice? For Debbie, it's focusing on recognizing each player's strengths and guiding them toward a collective goal. Henry emphasizes the importance of continuous feedback, creating space for authentic dialogue that drives accountability and growth.Throughout this conversation, the group explored how even small shifts can transform leadership. Jodi introduces the idea of walking meetings—a simple yet powerful change that fosters open dialogue. Both Henry and Debbie swear by the clarity that comes from moving side by side, whether along the Hudson River Greenway or through Prospect Park. There's something about the rhythm of walking that breaks down walls and sparks honest reflection.And it doesn't stop at the workplace. Debbie's advocacy with the Child Mind Institute, inspired by her daughter Maya's journey with anxiety and selective mutism, exemplifies leadership in action. Her commitment to mental health advocacy serves as a reminder that strong leaders don't just drive business results—they champion causes that matter.Mentorship also takes center stage. Henry reflects on the mentors who shaped his path, offering not just guidance but unwavering belief. Debbie emphasizes the responsibility of paying it forward, encouraging today's leaders to nurture the next generation with genuine support and actionable feedback.So, what's the biggest takeaway? True leadership isn't about knowing all the answers. It's about showing up, asking the hard questions, and creating space for others to grow.

Being the boss isn't about power trips—it's about leaving your jerk card at the door. Turns out, surviving the workplace often comes down to one simple rule: don't be an asshole. Kim Scott and Amy Sandler sit down with Stanford's Bob Sutton, author of The No Asshole Rule and The Friction Project, to talk about how real leadership means treating people like people, not just cogs in a machine. Bob gets straight to the point about why toxic behavior kills productivity, how organizational “friction” can be both helpful and harmful, and what it takes to build teams that fight fair and thrive together. They also tackle why efficient isn't always effective, how to spot—and stop—assholes before they do lasting damage, and why the best bosses aren't afraid to show up with both candor and care. As Kim puts it, sometimes it's better to have a hole than an asshole. Whether you're leading a team or just trying to survive one, this conversation is your reminder that treating people with decency is never optional—and if you're stuck choosing between keeping an asshole or leaving a hole, always go with the hole.
