Episode Synopsis
“Failure…A Catalyst For Personal Growth ”
Join me and my guest Tim Lupinacci, CEO and Chair at BakerDonelson (BakerDonelson.com), one of the oldest (130 years) law firms in the country. Tim leads over 1,300 individuals in 23 offices across the Southeastern US. A life-long leadership student, Tim recently launched a nonprofit called Everybody Leads (everybodyleads.org), focused on empowering individuals in underserved communities with basic leadership skills and confidence to better lead themselves, lead others, and lead in the community. As a self-professed “leadership junkie”, Tim’s journey as a leader began 30-years ago as a young lawyer after disappointing a boss with an epic failure. The boss challenged Tim (after significant yelling and tough love!) by saying he saw Tim as a strong young leader who needed to recognize that he was a leader, and step up to own his work, his career, and his ambitions. BTW, the “Baker” in the firm’s name refers to Senator Howard Baker who was also President Reagan’s Chief of Staff.
