In almost 200 episodes I have not repeated a guest until now. Dr. Jeffrey Magee is an incredible leadership and business expert who works with business owners and leaders and someone I thoroughly enjoy speaking with.

Here are some highlights of our conversation on our second go around:

- Why business leaders need to pay more attention to human capital (because every problem and challenge you have in your business is because of human capital).

- The reality for most of us is that there are disruptions, interruptions, challenges, unforeseen opportunities, and problems that pop up for all of us every day so we need to understand that change is where we live.

- Transformational leaders are the people that create change. Transformational leaders are the people that write the rule.

- We operate in a time when people have not been taught how to make a decision so he often trains on the STOP method: stop and look at a new stimulant, target and think, organize options, and pick and proceed.

- The importance of diversified teams. Google evaluated the top 32 businesses that filed bankruptcy in America, one of the interesting phenomena is that no one in the executive team ever spent time in sales and marketing.

- The big challenge globally facing all employers is recruiting and retention and the disruption of the negative 10% of the workforce - but he provides his advice on how to deal with them.

- Why new businesses today need to focus on two things - scalability and sellability.

Dr. Jeffrey Magee CBE, CSP, CMC, PDM is often referred to as one of today’s leading Leadership Strategists. Dr. Magee believes that in both the start-up to mature-growth market business sector, the number one resource companies have is human capital and successful leaders bring out the best in people to help organizations thrive.

Dr. Magee is the author of over 30 books, three college graduate management textbooks, four best sellers, and is the Publisher of PERFORMANCE/P360 Magazine. He was recognized as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Americans by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce and twice selected to represent the United States at the World Congress as a Leadership Speaker.
