Artwork for Lead Strong
It seems leadership across America is failing us. We once had leaders who believed in American ingenuity over their ego. Yet as a country, we are losing our footing. We are losing our global and local positions for innovation, growth, education, experimentation, and freedom. These unique advantages have made America strong and have been the platforms that the strongest leaders in government, schools, businesses, nonprofits, and families have built our country. We now face the intersection of what built our country and the compromises we made to persevere. Fairness based on race, religion, sex, and gender is rightfully challenged. However, they are challenged in exchange for the American virtues of trust, prudence, courage, justice, moderation, ingenuity, productivity, resilience, and perhaps most of all, freedom. As America blindly turns its lives and freedoms over to other powers beyond its own, we must explore the role of modern-day American leadership and how much we accept the ease of selling out our personal and national values. Have we given up our ability to fight or fight if we had to save ourselves? The Lead Strong podcast by Shelley Moore explores how to get back to the leadership that started our great nation with the practical, modern-day solutions that will keep America’s future leaders growing and relevant in the context of the complexities of today’s leadership environment. Since 1998, Shelley has started two businesses and worked with leaders in over 200 organizations that have achieved almost a billion dollars in growth. She has led high-profile projects for businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and startups, supporting leaders and teams in growth. These efforts have not been easy. Many leaders won’t admit to needing help building their teams. They can become defensive and not want to be further challenged. Many feel threatened by others outshining them and thrive to be publicly noticed, knowing behind-the-scenes the reality is not the same. As a result, they can easily discount others or self-sabotage their growth initiatives. As our nation’s risks and vulnerabilities rise, leadership today requires rising above trite insecurities and social decorums. Leadership is about the survival of the fittest—those who have a vision beyond their wealth and status to be committed to achieving a better future for their nation and communities. America was built on principles that made us a worldwide leader. In a growing global economy where America is now not first, we must refocus and rebuild our position based on American values. Who are these future leaders that will rebuild our country? What are the leadership practices that will rebuild the future of America? Who represents the next wave of leaders with the courage to step up and grow and fight in very challenging times? The Lead Strong podcast will include 15-minute Lead Set monologues where Shelley will share insights, methods, and tips to spur stronger leadership practices from you and your peers. Interviews with leaders and leadership practitioners will also break down the psychology, beliefs, principles, and experiences learned by leaders across all spectrums of government, education, business, nonprofit, and family to achieve community growth. What is the future of leadership? Join us to explore the characteristics, practices, and principles that will successfully expand the future of the experiment of our democracy for American freedom. Lead Strong will be available where you listen to your podcasts.
