03/25/24 • 89 min
William "Bill" Leahy, founder of Renaissance Reliability (RR), is a visionary leader on a mission to elevate American manufacturing to global heights by championing innovation, reliability, and manufacturing effectiveness. In the aftermath of his brother's tragic suicide, a USMC Infantry officer, in December 2022, Bill turned personal grief into a commitment to combat veteran suicide. This led to the establishment of UNTURNING STEEL, aimed at bringing veterans and manufacturing together. The convergence of these missions has birthed a collective goal – "Reimagining what it means to be MADE IN AMERICA." Bill's dedication earned UNTURNING STEEL the prestigious 2024 “Best Cultural Innovation Award” from the University of Tennessee – Knoxville (UTK) and Everything Reliability. Bill has excelled in various roles in his manufacturing career, demonstrating expertise in Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), and other continuous improvement methodologies. A former US Army Captain, Bill's leadership journey began at the United States Military Academy, where he was an NCAA Division 1 Army West Point hockey player. His academic accomplishments include a BS from West Point, an MBA from the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, and a Reliability & Maintainability Implementation Certification (RMIC) from the University of Tennessee. Bill, residing in Southeastern New England, is dedicated to his family and contributes to the community as a Thames Club member and volunteers as a hockey and soccer coach for local colleges and youth sports organizations.

Ep 78 Leadership Intelligence
Our capacity for increased responsibility in our leadership journey separates the ordinary from the extraordinary. As our influence grows and we gain new titles, we face new challenges. Purposeful Accountable Leaders (PALs) understand where they are on their leadership journey and what is required to continue growing. How? Transformational leaders have Leadership Intelligence (LI). I defined LI as aligning emotional intelligence with the organization's needs and the operating environment. LI, at its core, means the less influence you have in your organization, the more you must do personally to succeed.
