On this week’s episode of the Vibrant Leadership Podcast, we speak with former radio producer and personality, Jeff Brown. Jeff is now a “boss-free” entrepreneur and host of the Read to Lead Podcast, a four-time Best Business Podcast nominee. On his show he interviews some of today’s best business and non-fiction authors; on our show, he shares what he has read and what he has learned about leadership, work-life balance, and habits for success.

Jeff’s idea of leadership has changed over the years, from “command and control” to “servant leadership.” His reading and interviews with the likes of Alan Alda, Nancy Duarte, Stephen Covey, and Seth Godin have led him to key leadership insights, including:

• 3 skills all leaders need
• Why we should default to “no” when we receive requests for our time
• How to use an “Ideal Week” spreadsheet
• The DREAM habits for success
• And more

He also takes a look at the post-pandemic future of business. With part-time of fully remote options becoming the new normal, Jeff considers ideas of time and productivity and cautions leaders not to get into the weeds trying to track the hours of remote employees.

Glean some genius from Jeff, and don’t miss his free book offer for listeners!
