To disabuse you of what might be your first reaction: this is interview is not about gratitude — although that’s part of one of the lessons.

Jim Edwards sent out an email years ago with 19 bits of advice for a colleague who was taking a leadership position. Little did he realize that the email would not only be a set of timeless principles for any manager, but that he would add more to it — including many true, harrowing, and funny anecdotes — enough to warrant an entire book.

Jim joins Timeless Leadership to discuss many of these stories, as well as tactics and strategies to help you become a more effective leader, no matter what level of management you’re in.

You’ll especially want to hear the story about his worst job that led to him discovering the three most important things about leadership.

Episode 44: Innovators Who Changed the World with Jim Webb

The world is a by-product of innovation. We know the names of famous innovators — people like Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, and Socrates — for every one of them, there have been thousands of anonymous innovators.

But there are common themes we can find in the stories of innovators and Dr. Jim Webb takes us through some of those stories in his new book Innovators Who Changed the World: Timeless Leadership Lessons from West Point, Green Berets, Sherlock Holmes, and Wall Street.

Jim joins us to talk about the leadership lessons he draws from these, plus others in his book that include such a variety of topics and personalities as judo, the Army Rangers, J.P. Morgan, Manchester United, and more.

How can you feel fulfilled and live your best life at any stage of your development?

Whether you’re enduring a midlife crisis, grappling with the effects of ageism in the workplace, or feeling as if you’ll never achieve the level of success you once did (or even a level you had once hoped for) — this discussion is for you.

The late Stephen R. Covey spent his career inspiring millions to make their lives more effective, compassionate, and meaningful. And his daughter Cynthia Covey Haller co-wrote and published his final book posthumously — a book that Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People — felt was his greatest work yet.
