56. John Lentini — Engineering Character: The 6-Dial Framework of Determination & Trust
In this episode, I sit down with leadership expert and author John Lentini to talk about why character—not talent—is becoming the rarest resource in modern leadership.
And if your character drifts… your results eventually will too.
John breaks down his "Engineering Character" framework and the six core dials that shape how we lead ourselves, lead others, and navigate pressure without losing who we are.
🎯 In this episode:- The six "character dials" every leader should monitor
- Why discipline without empathy eventually breaks trust
- How resilience and mindset work together under pressure
- The power of honest feedback and the 360 process
- Why creativity still matters in the age of AI
The Character Dashboard Visualize your life as a six-dial control panel. Which dial needs recalibration right now?
Diverse Empathy Different people require different communication approaches. Stop leading everyone the same way.
Ground Rules for Hard Conversations Before difficult conversations, create mutual agreement around honesty, openness, and intention.
