Listen Later

This episode offers you $79 worth of value—completely free. Read till the end for the gift.

In Part 2, Kevin introduces the core ideas behind his latest book, Flexible Leadership. He explains why leading isn’t about finding the perfect style—it’s about flexing based on the situation without abandoning your principles. We break down how intention, context, and flexors all work together, why rigid leadership labels backfire, and why the best leaders never stop adjusting how they show up.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

Why Human Nature Hasn’t Changed

“The tools have changed. People haven’t.”

Start with Intention

“Flexibility doesn’t mean random. It means choosing your leadership moves on purpose.”

Context Is Everything

“If you don’t read the situation right, no style will save you.”

Flexors, Not Labels

“You’re not just a ‘visionary’ or a ‘coach.’ Labels can help, but they can also trap.”

Compliance vs. Commitment

“Sometimes you need quick compliance. Sometimes you need lasting commitment. Know what you’re asking for.”
