Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 1151 of the Arete Coach Podcast, where your host, Severin Sorensen, engages with the astute executive coach and Vistage Chair, Frank Fabela, in a riveting dialogue titled "Responsibility and Dissent." Broadcasting from Ontario, California, Frank Fabela is not only an acclaimed management consultant and adjunct professor but also a beacon of guidance for leaders navigating the complexities of the modern business landscape.

In a conversation that seamlessly blends personal narrative with professional expertise, Frank Fabela unpacks his transition from the structured world of engineering and manufacturing to the dynamic realm of executive coaching. He sheds light on the pivotal moments that sparked his transformation, especially his experiences in handling the inherent challenges within a family-owned business.

Delving into the philosophical underpinnings of his approach, Frank cites the indelible influence of the Peter Drucker School of Management, where lessons on moral leadership, the power of dissent, and the critical nature of responsibility took root. Severin and Frank engage in a thought-provoking exploration of the unique benefits of conflict-free Vistage peer groups, the evolving landscape of remote and hybrid work, and the non-negotiable necessity for metrics-driven accountability.

With a special focus on how Frank’s engineering acumen informed his foray into management, this episode also examines the power of storytelling as a tool for leadership, the adaptability required in changing business climates, and the perpetual journey of learning that Frank advocates.

Listeners are invited to join this enriching examination of what it means to care genuinely for one’s employees, to lead with a blend of humility and focus, and to seize opportunities while shouldering the weight of leadership. Frank's personal anecdotes and resonant quotations serve as a compass for ethical business practice and insightful decision-making.
