In a business world obsessed with speed, why are so many leaders stuck in a constant, exhausting cycle of crisis management? John Golden sits down with leadership veteran Rob Marcus (Blue Stallion Solutions, author of Crossing the Divide) to uncover the root causes of organizational chaos and the profound shift needed to achieve genuine growth.
Marcus challenges the “heroic” allure of firefighting, exposing it as a symptom of deeper systemic flaws. The solution? Moving beyond performative leadership—the corporate facade of checking boxes—and embracing authentic vulnerability. Learn how Marcus’s journey, from Army intelligence to corporate development, reveals that true trust is built when leaders show they care about their teams as people, not just employees. We break down actionable steps to switch from reactive problem-solving to proactive, systems-focused management. Stop rewarding the fixers and start rewarding the preventers. Tune in to transform your leadership from burnout mode to forward motion.
