In this powerful episode of the Leadership Excellence Podcast, Dr. Tom Lawless and George Trachilis explore what it truly means to cultivate leaders through coaching and continuous growth.

Dr. Lawless begins with the concept of the Leadership Mirror — a challenge for every leader to look inward and ask, “Am I taking care of my people?” He reminds us that humility, respect, and accountability start by reflecting on our own behavior and choices.

George builds on this by sharing his Top Three Coaching Principles:
1️⃣ Coach each person to their true potential.
2️⃣ Coach through principles and patterns that guide growth.
3️⃣ Develop the right attitude and create space for reflection.

Together, they discuss how real leaders coach at the Gemba — the place where the work is done — and how presence, curiosity, and respect build trust and continuous improvement.
