Ep. 021: Cracking the Leadership Code: Your Blueprint for Mastery

Bred To Lead

Show Notes

THE HIGHEST PAID POSITION IN THE WORLD IS NOT A TITLE

Closing a conference in Delaware, Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs told the room that too many people want leadership roles before they have mastered where they are. Using the story of King David, who was the best at every role he held long before he became king, he lays out why playing the promotion game instead of the mastery game gets leaders exposed.

IN THIS EPISODE • The four phases to master in order: skills, people, the business, then scale • Why he would have a new director of periop spend three months in SPD before taking the role • How one department head got full funding once he stopped pitching passion and started speaking ROI • Self-check questions to tell which phase you are actually in

YOUR CHALLENGE Be honest about which phase you are in right now, then pick one area to strengthen this week before you ask for the next promotion.
