Everyone has been in a room where one person walks in and changes everything. In this episode, John shares a story from an executive team session where a CEO walked in and drained the energy out of a thriving room in minutes, and what it taught him about the power every leader carries without even realizing it. Drawing on Kim Cameron's heliotropic effect from his book Building the Best, John breaks down why people, like plants, gravitate toward what is life-giving and away from what depletes them.

"One leader can completely change the energy in a room or on a team."

You don't get to choose whether you affect the room. You only get to choose how.
