Leading At The Next Level

We've had a solid friendship with Scott Glover for nearly a decade. The more we interacted, the more we realized we had in common; background, friends, and business associates. When we had a pressing insurance need, Scott provided us with better service than we could have asked for - and he's done the same for every friend, family member, and business associate we've sent in his direction. In addition to all that, Scott serves in one more capacity that's near and dear to us; he's the current Board Chair for New Creation VA - our 2026 LeadershipLegacy Experience Community Partner. In this session, we'll talk with Scott about his clear purpose for accepting leadership responsibility professionally and while serving New Creation, and we'll discuss the values he bases his decisions on daily through each of his roles. We'll also discuss our partnerships on The 2026 LeadershipLegacy Experience, with Blue Ridge Insurance Services and New Creation VA.

David Bates and I met around six years ago through a civic organization we became involved with at the same time. Since then, we've developed a great friendship and a solid business relationship.

After close to two decades of successfully managing stores in a large restaurant chain, Scott decided to make a career change and started taking vocational classes at night. Not long after that, I interviewed him for a role as an HVAC service tech apprentice.

Fast-forward almost a decade and Scott has earned a Master HVAC license, his contractor's license, and has launched Repair Air.   In this session, I have the honor of talking with Scott about the clear purpose that's driven him to do all he's done over the last decade in pursuit of this dream and the values that serve as the foundation for everyone interacting Repair Air.

Bourbon Sons continue to deliver standout tracks with their debut full length album, "4 Shots of Whiskey," released on October 7, 2025. The title track, a lively, tongue-in-cheek party anthem, follows the misadventures of a man who turns to a few drinks to escape his troubles and find a little fun along the way. With its upbeat energy, clever storytelling, and irresistible charm, "4 Shots of Whiskey" is a feel-good track that showcases Bourbon Sons’ ability to craft both heartfelt ballads and crowd-pleasing anthems. Not only does Dallas Dwight perform lead vocals and play guitar, he writes most of the music and does most of the band's production for each song (and album) they release. As talented as he is as a musician, he's every bit as good at the business side of the music industry. In this session we'll talk with Dallas Dwight about the clear purpose that drives him in all that he does and how he's able to apply The Values Advantage.

We recently hosted The 2025 Executive Summit, the FIRST EVER event of it's kind geared at providing mid-level managers, executives, and business owners with an interactive day focused around a common theme - Applying The Values Advantage! Approximately 60 leaders from close to three dozen organizations worked through the simple practices they'd need to implement to model their organizations' core values, the behaviors they'll practice routinely to provide their teams with a consistent example, and how they can set sustainable expectations for how each of their team members build those values into their own roles moving forward. While this will serve as a recap of that event, it's just a starting point!&nbsp;The Values Advantage is scheduled to be released on Feb 20, 2026 and we'll be hosting a special Pre-Order event featuring several leaders who are contributing to the final chapter, detailing "Real World Examples" how values impact an organization. And you can get in-person access to it all at The 2026 LeadershipLegacy Experience where The Values Advantage will be the event theme!

We recently had the opportunity to provide three separate sessions as part of a large client's "Professional Development Days" curriculum. Two were based on keynote presentations we've shared with thousands of people over the years but the final session was a variation of a lesson from our "Leading At The Next Level" program, likely back in 2021 or 2022, that we've only shared publicly a time or two. To our surprise, that session was packed... While I can't share it all here, this will hopefully serve as a solid starting point you can use for "Setting Priorities" that help you create systems that yield great results.

Passing on the Knowledge As we looked at the cost of a poor promotion, I shared stories about a few different rock star employees I had worked with over the years. One of them had been an assembly line lead for nearly four decades but refused even to consider taking the next step into a supervisory or management role. Another was as knowledgeable as anyone I ever knew about every piece of equipment in the department he worked in but struggled mightily when he moved into a team lead role for that same department. I realize both examples were from a manufacturing environment, but I’m willing to bet you can picture similar examples in any industry you’re currently in! At some point in our leadership journey, we’ll all face the reality that not every outstanding performer on our teams will be interested in climbing the company ladder. And as hard as accepting that will sometimes be, our challenge then becomes helping them be the best they can be right where they are AND providing them with the tools they’ll need to pass their expertise on to the team members coming behind them. While some folks may not be interested in chasing or accepting promotions, that doesn’t mean they’re not a critical part of our succession planning process! While I still fancy myself as a decent carpenter, and I could probably teach you how to operate a 250-ton stamping press to make the blanks that get rolled into tubes for inside a muffler, Cindy and I have been very intentional about not giving the perception that we’re the people to teach the technical skills necessary in any industry. In most cases, you’ll have experts in-house who can do that. And even if that’s not the case, I’m doubtful I have the time at this point in my life to be the technical expert you need. But we have helped the experts in the organizations we’re working with become incredibly effective at passing on what they’ve worked so long to learn. There have been a few cases where those folks have been supervisors or managers who had already completed our Emerging Leader Development course. Still, the most significant need for this has been with those without interest in those positions. Either way, our approach to Developing Effective Trainers combines much of what we provide to help leaders communicate more effectively with the concepts I detailed before for having tough conversations. We add a healthy dose of the necessary steps for earning influence and buy-in, so anyone receiving the training is actually willing to listen without having their lives threatened! For more on this, you're welcome to reach out to us directly at [email protected] to get a 45 Day Trial Access to our COMPLETE Leading At The Next Level program or you can check out Wes's first book, What's KILLING Your Profitability? (It ALL Boils Down to Leadership!) that was a #1 Best Seller on Amazon!

We Can’t Blame HR for Everything… Early in this process, we looked at two separate profitability killers that nearly always feed off each other and contribute to just about every metric a company tracks: the cost of high turnover and the cost of constant recruiting. In far too many cases, the responsibility for each lands squarely in the lap of someone in the human resources department. When that person takes even the slightest bit of initiative, they’ll work their tail off to produce the results their team needs. I say that with confidence because I’ve been the one to carry that responsibility for a few different organizations. Several times through this process, I’ve referenced hiring 225 new employees in eighteen months for one facility, and the total head count increased only by about ten. As we looked at steps leaders could take to address the cost of an unaccountable workforce, I even shared how 150 of those 225 were for one specific job title, a role that likely had the most direct impact on the overall quality of the products our customers depended on. You may think this was an isolated example that couldn’t possibly impact your company’s bottom line the same way, and as this was the first role where I held direct and complete responsibility for the hiring process, I couldn’t imagine that this same thing could be going on anywhere else either. I was dead wrong! In nearly every organization I’ve worked with since, whether through providing support for their HR and recruiting needs or through the resources we’ve shared with the entire leadership team, I’ve seen pockets that showed nearly identical patterns. While the numbers weren’t nearly as exaggerated, the ratios were eerily similar, primarily due to most of those companies having much lower overall head counts. I’d argue that the costs made even more of a dent in the overall profitability since those smaller organizations didn’t have as much room to absorb them. For more on this, you're welcome to reach out to us directly at [email protected] to get a 45 Day Trial Access to our COMPLETE Leading At The Next Level program or you can check out Wes's first book, What's KILLING Your Profitability? (It ALL Boils Down to Leadership!) that was a #1 Best Seller on Amazon!

Improving YOUR Profitability By Building Better Leaders Let's circle back to something I shared as we began our look at What’s Killing Your Profitability: "Organizations of all sizes invest significant amounts of time, money, and energy in improving their processes with hopes of becoming more profitable. Sometimes this is based on the goal of becoming best-in-class, but sometimes it is just to stay competitive with customers or to attract talent. All too often, though, the things that can have the most immediate impact on profitability (as well as the lives of everyone involved) are overlooked or entirely written off because those things are considered to be intangible. What are those things? Those are the skills needed to build an organizational culture that produces world-class results and makes the best people in your respective industry beg to be part of your team! Those skills tie back to a word that’s frequently misused: leadership…" Just in case I haven’t been clear enough in addressing each of the issues responsible for killing so much profitability in every single industry we’ve dealt with, I’ll stress once more how much of that lost profitability can indeed be captured by building better leaders! That said, this is not and cannot be done by poking the issue with a stick. I’ve seen far too many organizations attempt to pull a deck of slides from the Internet, read it as quickly as possible to their supervisors and managers before going through the rest of their canned message in the quarterly meeting, and call it done. That’s not how any reasonable person would approach learning something we consider a hard skill, so why in the world would anyone think it could possibly build a better leader? Truth be told, I don’t think that even the ones who take that approach expect it to work! I’m also convinced that most of them don’t understand the real impact each of the profitability killers we’ve looked at can have on the bottom line, how to measure them effectively, or how to truly teach the supervisors and managers on their teams how to prevent them. That’s exactly what I want to give you a framework for as we tie this all together. For more on this, you're welcome to reach out to us directly at [email protected] to get a 45 Day Trial Access to our COMPLETE Leading At The Next Level program or you can check out Wes's first book, What's KILLING Your Profitability?

Why do you do what you do? As we opened The 2025 LeadershipLegacy Experience, Cindy and I went into significant detail covering how important it is for every leader to have a clear purpose for accepting all that comes with leading a team. But let’s be honest, very few things in life worth having come easy. Regardless of what you’re engaged in, personally or professionally, a clear purpose is absolutely critical for rising above the muck and making a positive impact for the people counting on us! Working too much doesn’t burn you out; not getting fulfillment from the work you’re doing burns you out. Compensation is a factor in why we choose certain career paths, but it’s not THE factor! Our son made a career change several years ago at a critical time in his life, giving up 20% from just his base pay alone. And if it were all about compensation, we wouldn’t see so many people actively engaged in non-profits or civic organizations; the cause - or the purpose - drives them People don’t shy away from tasks because of risk or difficulty. Some of my best friends have served for decades as volunteer firefighters, risking their lives for people they don’t even know ON THEIR OWN DIME and on their own time… And let’s be honest, even the paid firefighters don’t do it for the money alone… Here’s the reality: having a clear purpose matters in every aspect of our lives! If you can’t define yours with absolute certainty, let’s connect!

In recent episodes of The Leading At The Next Level podcast, we've worked to provide an overview of what participants can expect from The 2025 Executive Summit and to provide practical steps anyone else listening in can take to lay a foundation with values, build a culture around values, and create a legacy through values. My newest book - "The Values Advantage" - is scheduled to be released in early 2026 and ties right in with that theme. Broken down into several segments, this book will outline a case for values-driven leadership, practical applications for building a values-based culture, and provide a detailed framework for ensuring your core values have a lasting impact. I'm also working with business owners and executives across all segments of our economy to create an closing chapter with "Real-World Examples" for why values are critical in EVERY organization.
