In our latest conversation we sit down with Dorothy Wood Vance and Dr. Garland Vance to unpack why business pain points often trace back to leadership choices and blind spots. We talk through the “leash” feeling leaders get when responsibilities outgrow abilities and how to turn that tension into growth.
• every problem in business starting as a leadership problem and why that is empowering
• leadership as more than a title and why most leaders are made not born
• the “leash” concept and the common signals like imposter syndrome and blame
• why leaders need a shared definition of leadership to align expectations and hiring
• how teams decide whether a leader feels like a hero or a villain
• the Decide, Discern, Deliver process for pausing before you act
• the seven issues behind most leadership challenges: character, competence, capacity, clarity, community, culture, consistency
• why clarity and capacity tend to be the biggest repeat offenders

In this episode, Scott Mitchell and Dr. Aidin Brown explore what it really means to flourish at work and why thriving is less about chasing outcomes and more about building the conditions for healthy growth. We connect personal purpose to team dynamics and organizational culture, then get practical about trust, belonging, and the kind of leadership that strengthens people instead of draining them.

You'll here about:
• defining flourishing as holistic thriving and purposeful living
• separating success and achievement from the ongoing process of flourishing
• using pruning as a model for growth through hard seasons
• building conditions for flourishing through psychological safety and trust
• spotting “not flourishing” through micromanagement and low safety
• distinguishing flourishing teams through belonging and high-quality interactions
• moving from compliance to commitment as a sign of healthy culture
• recognizing organizational markers like collaboration, tone at the top, and clear accountability
• treating employee development plans as real growth paths, not box-checking

We sit down with executive coach Kisha Wynter to name the leadership skill almost no one teaches: power literacy, the ability to navigate organizational power dynamics and build influence without formal authority. Kisha breaks down the mystery of why top performers still get stuck and how plugging “power leaks” helps leaders speak up, advocate for their teams, and drive enterprise impact. Plus, we explore and discuss:

• power literacy as a core leadership competency beyond hard work and expertise
• why cross-functional influence determines promotions and initiative traction
• the shared responsibility between leaders and organizations to build this capability
• reframing power as values-based and generative rather than destructive
• power leaks as learned survival responses, not personal failure
• common leaks like hesitation, over-accommodation, weak boundaries, and avoiding visibility
• practical ways to plug leaks through preparation, speaking early, and voice practice
• decoding the visible org chart versus the invisible influence web
• “who influences the influencers” and why decisions happen before meetings
• framing, trigger words, and adapting language to organizational context
