Listen "Orbital Influence"
Episode Synopsis
In the first episode of 'Grody & Unprofessional', host Justin McMenamy emphasizes the critical need for leaders to actively study and practice leadership as a skill, rather than relying on superficial engagement. He argues that many leaders spend more time on trivial pursuits like fantasy football than on understanding effective leadership strategies. McMenemy introduces the concept of assessing leadership effectiveness through external feedback, using the analogy of a solar system where different groups of people hold varying degrees of opinion about a leader based on relational distance. He shares personal anecdotes about his own leadership style and the importance of collecting honest feedback from team members to improve. The episode highlights the necessity of humility, transparency, and continuous learning to become a better leader.
