Leadership Defined
Sunday Jul 18, 2021
Sunday Jul 18, 2021
We explore the nuances of:
- Myths about leadership
- Leaders are such long before they get the title
- Authority or position is not leadership, and sometimes it prevents us from leading
- How light and leadership are similar
- Leadership is authentic engagement
- How lots of leaders use their time and resources to look good
- How Fredrick Douglas showed up in leadership, and what we can learn from him
- We look at problems between us, instead of in front of us
- The brain can’t help but look for shortcuts
As a bonus, Dan and Adrian work out a current breakdown in their partnership, real-time on the mic.
Show Notes:
This is a repost of an episode of the Naked Leadership podcast that originally went live in January of 2020.
It is one of our most downloaded episodes and lays so much foundational work around the topic of leadership.

Last weekend we had an amazing experience partnering with Lodgewell to host a party and discussion called Lodgewell Presents!
The food, drinks, and popup shops were top-notch.
But undoubtedly the best part of the night was having the privilege of hosting the panel and getting to hear from Jeni Britton Bauer of Jeni's Splendid Iced Creams, Alli Webb of Drybar and Becket & Quill, a Lauryn Bosstick of Skinny Confidential.
They were on point, vulnerable, open, and powerful!
This episode is a recording of that panel discussion.
