You Need Leaders Who Are Fully Alive (Jeremy Pietrocini)

Two in ten people love what they do. The other eight show up disconnected, going through the motions, or actively working against the team.Jeremy Pietrocini pulls from Gallup data to show how leaders misread this problem. They try to fix teams instead of looking at the energy they bring into the room each day. He and Phil discuss the difference between employees who are simply present and those who are actively disengaged (the ones who would make the organization more productive if they stayed home). The shift starts when leaders examine their own state. A leader who is fully charged creates trust, stability, and hope. A leader who is drained creates fear, confusion, and withdrawal. Jeremy ties this to simple patterns like how leaders listen, how they create freedom, and whether people feel safe to show up as themselves.The result is a move from compliance to real engagement, where people bring effort, ownership, and energy because they feel it from the person leading them.0:00 Intro02:10 Jeremy’s Backstory05:10 The Leadership Reality of Disengagement08:18 What Drives Engagement11:00 Aliveness as the Real Leadership Test14:15 What to Do When You’re Running on Empty18:00 Trust, Compassion, Stability, and Hope22:24 Work Life Integration vs. Balance27:19 Listen, Love, Liberate33:15 Freedom Inside Organizations38:21 Authentic Leadership and Psychological Safety43:52 Faith and Leadership at Work51:23 RECREATE Work’s MissionResources Mentioned:Connect with Jeremy:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-pietrociniRECREATE Work:https://recreatework.comGallup:https://www.gallup.comCliftonStrengths:https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths📚 Fully Charged by Tom Rath📚 Strengths Based Leadership by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie📚 First Break All The Rules by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman📚 Beyond High Performance by Jason Jaggard📚 12: The Elements of Great ManagingFollow @PhilOnPurposehttps://www.instagram.com/philonpurpose https://www.facebook.com/philonpupose
