Are You the Spare Tire? | Lee Cage Jr. at DisruptHR Nashville | 15 Minutes With [Bonus]
15 Minutes WithShow Notes
Are you the spare tire? Invisible until the crisis hits, but the lifeline everyone counts on when it does?
In this bonus episode, Lee Cage Jr. takes the DisruptHR Nashville stage to ask the uncomfortable questions that make us rethink who we are, how we show up, and how we assess value. This one's for the disruptors, the audacious architects of change who know that "business as usual" is officially over.
You know the type. Invisible on a normal day, but when the pressure hits, their grit, hustle, and ability to thrive under pressure become the lifeline the whole organization leans on. Too often, all that hope, innovation, and true leadership stays locked in the trunk, waiting to be unleashed when the road gets rough.
So ask yourself: when the rubber meets the road, are you coasting, or are you the one who shows up when it matters most?
In this talk:
Why "business as usual" is officially over
How organizations overlook their most valuable people until crisis hits
Rethinking who you are and how you show up at work
Reimagining how we actually assess value
