Protect Your Patch
Welcome to the Protect Your Patch podcast where we talk about all things that drive meaningful change through intentional actions, hosted by Dr. Mike Smith, former First Sergeant of the Air Force Thunderbirds and a corporate leader in Berkshire Hathaway Energy, and Rich Baron who is a master certified executive coach and Director of Culture Transformation and Training for John Mattone Global. With over 50 years of combined experience and leadership, we will discuss the important aspects of focusing on the foundation of getting back to the basics. So leaders and organizations can redefine who they are to recreate their legacy.
Together, we strive to bring common clarity to the chaos and confusion by partnering with leaders and organizations to uncover those areas that are creating stumbling blocks and turn them into stepping stones. Remember, the depth of your preparation determines the height of your performance.
Protect Your Patch
Is Your Check Engine Light On?
When the check engine light in your car comes on, do you have a tendency to ignore it? Hoping that if you don't look at it, it will go away? But the next time you start your car, there it is once again shining bright on your dashboard. It could just be a minor maintenance issue, or a sign that there is something very wrong.
How about as leaders? We don't have that check engine light to warn us that we need some personal maintenance, or that there is something very wrong.
Doc and Rich talk about the importance of heeding the warning signs in our leadership abilities on Protect Your Patch.
