An unimaginable tragedy suddenly and unexpectedly placed Jim Rafferty in a demanding volunteer leadership role. The story of how that shattered organization picked up the pieces and not only survived but thrived forms the basis of his book, Leader by Accident.
Suddenly let go a few years later from the job he’d held for more than two decades, Jim came to realize that the challenges and lessons he’d encountered as a youth leader had applications far beyond scouting. He used those experiences to fuel a successful journey into entrepreneurship.
As a Scoutmaster, Jim imparted dozens of bite-sized chunks of inspiration and life advice to the young men of the troop. Leader by Accident transforms those lessons into life advice for business leaders.
In this episode, Jim and Adam discuss:

Everyone has dreams for themselves and their family, but most never get to them because of all the things standing in the way.
That was the situation Joe Perrone found himself in several years ago. As a small business owner, he had achieved greater financial success than he’d ever imagined, but he was not happy or at peace with himself.
As the owner of two businesses, Joe had to learn how to work ON his business instead of IN it. You’ll be amazed to hear that Joe spends just 15-20 hours each week on site. Today he works with other business owners who’d like to have more free time, energy and money.
Joining Adam in this episode, Joe shares the various ah-ha’s he’s had in his journey to greater joy in every part of his life.

Open minds are required for success – new, forward thinking is needed to keep up with rapid and ongoing changes in the global marketplace. Leaders of organization culture change understand the crucial need for new, upgraded skill sets and growth.
For culture to be elevated, dated assumptions and veiled beliefs must be put away for achievement of the organization’s true values and goals to emerge. In many organizations, this means leaders must change – personally and professionally – to ensure a successful future.
Making changes in an organization’s culture often requires customized training so individuals and teams can adjust, develop, and plan for the challenges the future will undoubtedly provide.
It often means choosing the right leadership to develop the best culture for the organization and investing in that leadership culture. Doing so allies leader behavior with operational strategies and the result is an organization that is purposefully transformed to meet the complex challenges now and in the future.

There are many ways to be “stuck” in an organization and hold back change. Organizations undergoing digital transformation often miss the mark — but that’s because they’re looking at technology as the solution, not people.
Even for organizations that reopen as the pandemic winds down, the workplace will never be the same: the pivot to remote and blended workforces, the rise of analytics and AI, and other changes have already taken place. Yet many employees and organizations still aren’t ready.
In his book, Stuck: How to Win at Work by Understanding Loss, Patrick McCreesh spells out three simple but powerful strategies for getting your people and your organization to “un-stick” when it comes to digital transformation.
He joins Adam to discuss those strategies as well as:

Whether it’s passing the torch, selling, or retiring, or just closing it down, you should have some sort of strategy and plan in mind.
Joining Adam is business strategist, Tanaha Hairston. Together they discuss:
Do you have an exit strategy in place? If not, (or even if you do) this is a must-hear episode.
