Everything We Learned About Leadership Is Wrong: Larry Coval on How to Fix It

What if much of what we’ve been taught about leadership simply doesn’t work in the real world?In this conversation, Larry Coval, founder of ARCANE Leadership Concepts and author of Misled: Why (Almost) Everything We’ve Learned About Leadership Is Wrong and How to Fix It, challenges the leadership industry and the familiar advice that often sounds great in a conference room but falls apart when real people, pressure, performance, and results are on the line.Larry brings nearly four decades of leadership experience across organizations large and small. His philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: a leader’s job is to make their people successful. Leadership, he argues, isn’t about having the right personality, delivering inspirational speeches, or collecting management buzzwords. It’s a practical skill set that can be learned, sharpened, measured, and applied.We discuss why employee engagement continues to struggle, where traditional leadership development has gone wrong, what accountability really looks like, why some managers fail even when they mean well, and the lessons Larry learned while leading hundreds of employees and major revenue organizations.This is a conversation about stripping leadership back to what actually matters: people, execution, accountability, and results.Topics include: leadership, management, employee engagement, accountability, workplace culture, executive leadership, team performance, business growth, Misled, and the future of leadership.https://arcaneleadership.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.
