In this episode of Together We Are Stronger: Leadership Straight, No Chasers, Scott Brandt and George “Big G” Dovolis sit down with Rick to explore how patience, curiosity, and better questions can lead to stronger decisions and sustainable success.

Rick shares why leaders need to understand the problem before rushing toward an answer. That includes gathering information, challenging assumptions, and surrounding yourself with people willing to tell you when your thinking may be wrong.

The conversation also explores how AI is changing problem-solving. Rick discusses using AI as a thought partner while maintaining human oversight, verifying information, and understanding the risks emerging within cybersecurity.

They also dive into leadership versus boss mentality, lessons from coaching youth sports, building teams that provide honest feedback, and why diverse perspectives can uncover solutions one person may never see alone.

Throughout the conversation, Rick returns to a simple idea:

Patience is an action.

Progress still requires movement. Strong leadership requires knowing when to gather more information before making the next move.
