In this episode of the Leadership Quotient Podcast, Tracey Abbott—global operator turned executive coach, founder of Leadership Current—shares how focus, culture, and curiosity accelerate value creation. From Kodak and Adidas to Bain, PepsiCo, Foot Locker, and owning a Chick-fil-A, Tracey distills lessons from the boardroom and the break room: prioritize the few things that truly move the P&L, translate finance into frontline action, and put culture squarely on the CEO’s desk. She also unpacks stakeholder management with PE boards, why “fast follower” thinking fails on the AI curve, and how assessments can pre-empt team blow-ups and build high-trust execution.
