Listen "Lead From the Frontlines"
Episode Synopsis
In Episode 3 of our Endeavor 2 Discover series, Chris Messer, Executive Vice President of Endeavor Business Media's Transportation Group, is joined once again by Mike Jones, President and CEO of Discover Leadership.
Today's focus is on frontline leadership—what it truly means to lead from the front lines. Chris and Mike challenge the conventional wisdom around servant leadership. While it sounds good to lead from the back or "eat last," without visibility to the vision and clear communication of direction, your team will never know where they're going. The conversation explores how effective leaders ensure everyone understands the outcome, how to inspire people who don't naturally see themselves as leaders, and how individual contributors can manage up by showing up with hunger, asking hard questions, and demonstrating commitment.
