  • From CEO to EOS: Clay Harris on Leading, Leaving, and Letting Others Grow

    Today’s guest, Clay Harris, did something few leaders dare to do—he rose to the top of an organization… and then chose to step away.

    In this episode of Projecting Grandeur, we follow Clay’s rare journey from entry-level hire to CEO of WorkSmart, and his bold decision to leave that role to become a full-time EOS Implementer. What drives someone to walk away from the very thing they helped build? And what happens when your definition of leadership shifts from being the decision-maker to being the guide?

    Clay opens up about ambition, self-awareness, and how true leadership sometimes means moving out of the spotlight to help others shine. If you’re navigating growth, identity, or a career pivot—this one will resonate deeply.

    🎧 Clay’s story is a reminder: Projecting grandeur isn’t always about scaling up. Sometimes, it’s about stepping into something more aligned.

    🎧 This is your wake-up call to lead with belief, not desperation—and to make selling feel as good as buying.
