Are you leading your team through chaos, or are you just trying to survive it?

In this episode of Show Your Value, Lee Benson sits down with Wall Street Journal bestselling author and Vanderbilt professor Patrick Leddin to unpack the reality of constant disruption in business and life.

Drawing from his book Disrupt Everything (co-authored with legendary writer James Patterson), Patrick reveals why we need to stop running from struggle and start leveraging it. They discuss the danger of sleepwalking through your career on a never-ending treadmill, the difference between a positive and negative disruptor, and why sometimes the most disruptive thing a leader can do is simply to say "no."

Whether you are navigating the rise of AI, making high-stakes decisions, or trying to figure out how to be "productively vulnerable" with your team, this conversation provides a proven framework to turn adversity into massive material, emotional, and spiritual value.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• The 5 Crisis Roles: The specific roles leaders must choose from when disruption hits.
• Productive Vulnerability: Why forced or fake vulnerability is actually destructive to your team.
• The Anatomy of a Disruptor: The 16 behaviors of highly effective positive disruptors.
• The "Edge" Factor: Jack Welch’s concept of "Edge" and the exact way to handle tough conversations.
• The Disruption Loop: A four-step process (Discern, Behave, Achieve, Refine) to navigate any curveball life throws your way.
