With your Permission, We'll even play your message live on the air!We’re drowning in leadership advice, yet trust in leadership keeps slipping and that’s not an accident. Today we sit down with leadership strategist, speaker, and author Yogi Mueller to get honest about what’s missing: leaders who can take feedback, stay coachable, and choose growth over image. Yogi’s idea of “The Great Slapping” nails a truth most of us recognize the moment we hear it. The feedback that stings the most is often the feedback that saves you, because it comes from someone who believes in you enough to tell the truth.We also talk about why accomplished leaders can become the least curious people in the room. When the job becomes constant production, “doing more with less,” and running at 1,000 miles an hour, leadership starts to shrink into pure delivery. Culture follows the same path and soon everyone feels like a machine. From there, we get practical about leadership burnout, even for people who love the mission. Yogi explains burnout as a fire that’s going out and the responsibility to tend your own flame before you try to ignite anyone else.That’s where his upcoming book, Leadership Fuel, comes in: 366 “sparks” you can use to reconnect with purpose and to lead better team conversations around trust, accountability, change management, and decision making. We also dig into the Grit Index and what it reveals about self-awareness and what you actually do with feedback, not just what you say you believe. If you’re hungry for real mentorship, healthier workplace culture, and leadership development that works on Monday morning, this one’s for you.
