196: Nothing Fixes Itself - 40 Years of Leadership Lessons
from Grow With Purpose · host Joey Brannon
Every owner who sits down with us asks for the same thing: more accountability. Almost none describe it as a leadership problem. Chris Romine has spent 40 years in financial services, and he leads his market inside a large institution the way an owner leads a company: a P&L he answers for, a mission he can say out loud, and a team he refuses to let one person grind down. Joey and Chris get into the hard conversation, the mentors who cared before either new what a mentor was, and the sustained discipline required to make it all work. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:• Why the businesses that stand out in a community are the ones whose owners are genuinely bought in to the community, and how customers hear that on the first phone call.• How to open a hard conversation calmly, tie it to the mission, and close it well.• What it costs the rest of your team when you insulate yourself from a problem instead of addressing it• Why discipline outlasts motivation, in savings and in leadership DOWNLOAD THE LEADERSHIP GUIDE: Episode 196 - Nothing Fixes Itself (Chris Romine)HELP US IMPROVE THE SHOW: Take our 30 second Survey📞 Have a question?
