Special Guest: Brett Russell, Part 2

This is the second half of Nic’s interview with Brett Russell, retired Fire Chief for the City of Clinton, Oklahoma, and small business owner. What’s one of the biggest leadership lessons you’ve learned? Do you appreciate the power of presence and proximity as a leader? Are values something you just put on the wall or something you actively reinforce every day? As a true leader, what really matters to you? How do you inspire your team to want the same thing? Brett has learned and applied these lessons—and like a true leader, is still learning.

It’s funny what happens when we don’t read the fine print. It’s also funny how ah-ha’s arrive when we least expect it. And men, do you feel you’re serving your wife because you joined in what she wanted? But did you complain the whole time? Are you really serving from the heart or making your wife pay emotionally for dragging you along to an event you didn’t really want to do?

REPLAY | EP10: Be Curious, Not Judgmental

This episode originally aired on April 22, 2024. How do you as a leader develop your men and women to become problem solvers? Or will you remain frustrated rather than get curious about how to lead differently? Good foremen recognize that for many of the people they lead, this is their first real job. Do you remember your first job and all the mistakes you made? When we remember our own growth we begin to appreciate the difference between being curious versus judgmental.
