Podcast 1290: Catch People Doing Things Right: How the World Leads by Martha C. Lawrence

In this podcast episode of *Inside Personal Growth*, host Greg Voisen sits down with Martha C. Lawrence, the longtime collaborator, editor, and biographer of legendary leadership thinker Ken Blanchard. What begins as a conversation about her book *Catch People Doing Things Right* quickly unfolds into a deeply human story of intuition, optimism, faith, and a radically different way to lead. Through personal memories, behind-the-scenes moments, and powerful life lessons, Martha reveals how a man once told he couldn’t write or lead went on to shape how millions of people understand leadership—by leading with love, humility, and service. This episode goes far beyond traditional business advice. From a championship basketball shot guided by an inner voice, to the quiet influence of Ken’s parents, his partnership with his wife Margie, and his evolution from academic to spiritual servant-leader, listeners are invited into the moments that shaped a philosophy rooted in trust, acknowledgment, and values. If you’ve ever questioned whether leadership can be both effective *and* compassionate, this conversation offers a compelling, soul-level answer that lingers long after the episode ends. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - Why “catching people doing things right” is a timeless leadership principle that transforms relationships - How intuition, optimism, and faith guided Ken Blanchard’s most pivotal life and career decisions - The difference between power-driven leadership and servant leadership rooted in values - How acknowledgment and praise create trust, motivation, and lasting impact - Why leadership lessons often come from everyday moments—not titles or authority Our Guest, Martha C.
