In this episode of The Meta-Cast Podcast, Josh Anderson and Bob Galen dive into the "smells" of leadership—both the sweet and the downright stinky. From the signals that indicate strong leadership to the subtle (or not-so-subtle) signs of dysfunction, this episode will challenge leaders to assess their habits and identify where they need to level up. They discuss the power of listening, the dangers of canceled one-on-ones, the importance of clear vision and context, and why great leaders take full responsibility for building strong teams. Whether you're leading an organization, a team, or just yourself, this episode is packed with wisdom that will help you refine your leadership instincts.
