What happens when the title, rank, or authority you once relied on disappears?

In Episode #41 of the Lead with Legacy™ Podcast, IOL Global’s Amanda Chambers and K. Sloane Lott welcome Dr. Brian Ables, senior program manager and founder of Capable Coaching, for a conversation about leadership, project management, service, and influence.

Drawing from his military service, government leadership, defence contracting, and project management experience, Dr. Ables shares how his understanding of leadership changed when he realized that influence cannot depend on a title or position.

The conversation explores leading without formal authority, building trust and credibility with stakeholders, mentoring mid-level project managers, and why the human side of leadership is becoming even more important as AI transforms the way we work.

Dr. Ables also shares the story behind The Ground Truth, his physical newsletter designed to bring more honest and vulnerable leadership lessons into the hands of readers.
