On today’s Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black takes on one of the most misunderstood leadership traits: flexibility.
Using the Marines’ battle cry “Semper Fi”—Always Faithful—Mr. Black introduces a lesser-known but equally critical leadership principle: Semper Gumby—Always Flexible. Great leaders know when to adapt, when to pause, and when to pivot… but they also know when not to move an inch.
Drawing from Dr. Viktor Frankl’s powerful insight—“Between the stimulus and the response there is a space. In that space is our power and our freedom”—Mr. Black challenges listeners to examine how they respond under pressure and what that reveals about their leadership.
This episode explores the core existential questions every leader must answer:
Who am I?
Whose am I?
Why am I here?
What will I never compromise?
Through the lens of Social Learning Theory, Mr. Black reminds us that leaders are always being watched. People don’t just hear what we say—they model what we do. That makes understanding influence, example, and integrity non-negotiable.
Mr. Black is joined by Kelsey Pritchard of the Susan B. Anthony Foundation for a timely and direct conversation about one of those leadership “lines in the sand”: the Hyde Amendment—where flexibility ends and conviction must stand firm.
This is an Hour of Power for leaders who want both wisdom and backbone—who know when to bend and when to stand.
Because who you are matters.
And it’s time to LIVE like it matters.
