In companies across the world, people are stepping up to the plate, taking on leadership roles – big and small and attempting to create change within organizations. From workplaces to schools, leaders emerge for better or for worse. Among those are leaders that put others first, showing us the value of a humanized business. Jim Jarrett, President of GBA is leading differently – listening rather than speaking, relatable rather than disconnected and compassionate above all. In this episode of Leader to Leader, Jim explains his leadership style and his vision for the future of GBA.

It has been said a great leader would never ask someone to do something they wouldn’t do themselves. This motto is something that our next podcast guest lives by. Jason Conklin has worked his way through the field and office to his current position as president of Infrastructure Solutions (I-Solutions).  Jason understands communicating can be difficult – particularly when employees work in the field and the office. Understanding how best to communicate is imperative when parties want to collaborate and keep moving forward.  In this episode of Leader to Leader, Jason shares his thoughts on how his career has molded his leadership and communication style and as a result, I-Solutions has experienced exponential growth. 

Paige Wixson has a very clear personal brand; she describes herself as a “unicorn in a sea of donkeys”. From a young age, she learned that standing out is better than blending in, and hard work achieves respect, admiration, and loyalty. 

In this episode of Leader to Leader, Josh Reeves had the chance to interview Paige about how she chose her career, how she entered the federal construction market, her communication style and why she is passionate about recruiting young grads. Over the years, she has learned to wear multiple hats and has positioned herself well for growth and leadership.
