Join Jason for a thought-provoking conversation with Ben Brooks, Founder and CEO of Pilot, an award-winning culture and leadership development firm. In our discussion, we challenged traditional definitions of leadership and unpacked why organizations often get leadership development wrong.

Jason and Ben explored how making leadership accessible to everyone—not just a select few—can positively impact organizational culture and business outcomes. They also discussed what truly makes leadership development effective, why traditional models often fall short, and how organizations can unlock hidden potential within their people to drive results and have a developed workplace culture.

Key lessons highlighted in our conversation include:

👉How true leadership is about mindset, behavior, and personal impact, regardless of rank or title.

👉 Clarifying the distinction between management and leadership, and why both are essential but different levers for organizational success.

👉 Mistakes organizations are making in leadership development and why traditional approaches are failing to create real impact.

👉 How to define what “good leadership” looks like in YOUR organization, ensuring clarity, simplicity, and alignment across teams and levels.

👉 Effective leadership development isn’t about more assessment; it’s about real, applied learning experiences that align with your organization’s strategy and culture.

If you’re ready to stop talking about leadership and start empowering it at every level, this episode is a must-listen.
