Do you believe that starting a business with nothing is possible? The American Dream is typically defined as the idea that the opportunity of achieving your highest aspirations is possible for anyone willing to put in the work. Jay Samit, laid out his case and experiment for this very idea in his latest book, Future Proofing You. Glenn Stearns, producer and star of the Discovery show, Undercover Billionaire, put himself to the test with $100, no contacts, no help, and just 90 days to build a million dollar business because he deeply believes the American Dream is still alive and possible. Although the playing field is not equal for everyone in every opportunity, it is still possible. Glenn's story is shocking and relatable for many because his honesty and vulnerability shows that attitude and belief are still king in how you decide to live your life and make moves.

In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainty reigned in the salon industry. Questions like “When will I be allowed to open back up?” “Is it worth the risk to go to work?” and “Will my company survive this?” were on the minds of owners and staff. Leaders had a choice: put on a brave face for their workers, or be honest about their fears. Our guest Derek Reynolds says learning to be vulnerable helped him connect with employees on a deeper level. Also during the pandemic, the motivations of salon pros shifted more towards flexibility and time with family. In this episode, Derek and host Blake Reed Evans discuss how to navigate this new landscape with compassion, and why it's okay not to be okay. Derek is the team leader for the Leadership Division and a salon consultant with Summit Salon Business Center, general manager of Cutler Salons in New York City, and a certified Enneagram practitioner.To learn more about Summit's leadership coaching and retreats, visit summitsalon.com/wellness-culture/summit-leadership-systemSUMM IT UP is produced by Erica Furgiuele.

What's the ROI of vulnerability at work? It's big—personally and professionally. In today's Leadership Spark, I explore why being a vulnerable leader pays off. We'll break down the concept of Mismatch Theory—why the “tough boss” style of the past doesn't cut it today and why leaders who don't evolve may get left behind. Vulnerability—when done right—not only boosts your team's trust and engagement but also directly contributes to business success. Yet, less than 11% of employees view vulnerability as a strength in their leaders, which leaves a lot of untapped potential. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

It's one thing to talk about being open and authentic, but how do you actually do it without losing your team's respect and trust? This is a conversation I had with with Robert Glazer on his Elevate Podcast. In this episode, I explain the difference between just being vulnerable and leading with vulnerability. We explore why so many leaders today are struggling with decision-making and accountability, and how the post-pandemic era has challenged many leaders to redefine their roles. We'll get into why having too much psychological safety can actually backfire, why flexible work policies need clear boundaries and standards to succeed, and how you can balance being empathetic with holding people accountable in your organization. I also share insights from the 100 CEOs I interviewed for my new book, Leading with Vulnerability, on how to handle that fine line between showing your human side and maintaining confidence and authority. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Trust and connection are the cornerstone to building a high performing team in today's world, and vulnerability is at the center of that. Take a listen to a former Marine and construction worker talk about his journey with vulnerability and how that is the foundation of the work he does today. "People will follow great leaders to the ends of the earth. They'll follow a title only to a certain extent." "What do you need more of, and what do you need less of from me as a leader?" "Give people room to try things. support them, but also hold them accountable. That's what creates that trust." "If you're a little bit uncomfortable thinking about this, you're already doing good work because that means you're starting to build awareness."

True leadership is not about showing strength, but embracing vulnerability. George Oliver, Chairman and CEO of Johnson Controls, believes that being a good leader is all about being genuine and open. It's important to treat everyone fairly and share personal stories to connect with the team. George recalls about the times he felt unsure, especially during COVID. But he feels that being honest and admitting when you don't know something is a strength, not a weakness. Real leadership is about being responsible, truthful, and understanding towards others. For George, a great leader is one who listens, is honest about their feelings, and always tries to do right by their team. George Oliver leads a company with over 100,000 employees.

In today's leadership spark, I spoke with bestselling author and Stanford Graduate School of Business professor, Chip Heath, about the power of numbers in instigating change. The conversation revolves around the importance of providing comparative context to data for clearer understanding, rather than presenting standalone figures. Chip emphasizes the pivotal role emotion plays in data interpretation. For immediate practical application, Chip suggests starting with the simplification and contextualization of a single data point in presentations. He illustrates this with the striking revenue comparison between the video game industry and Hollywood. The core takeaway is the ability of relatable and emotionally resonant numbers to drive change and inspire action. Chip Heath is one of the 100+ CEOs I interviewed for my new book, Leading With Vulnerability which is coming out in October: https://www.amazon.com/Leading-Vulnerability-Superpower-Transform-Organization/dp/1119895243/ __________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

In today's leadership spark, I chat with bestselling author and Stanford Graduate School of Business professor, Chip Heath, about the challenges and nuances of communicating with numbers and data. Chip underscores the difficulty people often face with fractions and percentages, as seen with A&W's marketing misstep against McDonald's. Chip also mentions the "curse of knowledge", where expertise can cloud one's understanding of a novice's perspective. Throughout our conversation, we delved into the significance of making data relatable and meaningful. By converting abstract numbers into tangible concepts, like likening the number of preventable sepsis deaths to annual cancer diagnoses, data becomes not only more understandable but also emotionally resonant, effectively engaging and motivating audiences Chip Heath is one of the 100+ CEOs I interviewed for my new book, Leading With Vulnerability which is coming out in October: https://www.amazon.com/Leading-Vulnerability-Superpower-Transform-Organization/dp/1119895243/ __________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

In today's leadership spark, I speak with Chip Heath, Professor at Stanford University and New York Times Best Selling Author. Chip discusses his motivations behind his latest book, "Making Numbers Count: The Art and Science of Communicating Numbers." He emphasizes the challenge most people face in understanding and communicating numbers effectively, as our brains naturally struggle with large numbers. By comparing unfamiliar figures to relatable concepts, people can better grasp and remember data. This skill of translating numbers into digestible information is crucial for both personal and professional decision-making and change initiatives.

In today's leadership spark, Professor Sydney Finkelstein of Tuck School at Dartmouth, delves deep into the intricacies of modern leadership. Sydney highlights the need for innovation in talent management, pointing out HR's slower evolution compared to other business functions. He describes 'Super Bosses' as leaders who actively engage with their teams, foster both collaboration and competition, and recognize the value of employee growth beyond just retention. The conversation pivots to actionable advice, suggesting questions potential hires might ask to identify super bosses, such as inquiring about their vision, delegation habits, and relationships with former employees. Finkelstein also discusses millennials' unique workplace needs, suggesting that the super boss approach can enhance engagement by making work more meaningful for all. The goal is a workplace where employees are more fulfilled and leaders inspire greater achievements.

In today's leadership spark, I chat with Professor Sydney Finkelstein of Tuck School at Dartmouth. We discuss the "super bosses," leaders who deeply mentor their team and value direct communication. These leaders might be tough, but they genuinely care about the professional growth of their team. Moreover, the concept of being a super boss isn't confined to large corporations but can be seen in small startups, freelancers, and even in educational settings. Sydney notes that anyone can be a super boss. Blending good management with real care for the team's growth are key. These leadership qualities are teachable and aren't tied to age or rank.

In today's leadership spark, I chat with Professor Sydney Finkelstein of Tuck School at Dartmouth, and he delves into the characteristics and types of "super bosses" that he studied for his book. Sydney identifies 18 notable super bosses, and not all super bosses are easy to work with. Some can be quite challenging.
