The Greatest Leadership Lesson Randy Gravitt Ever Taught me

10 minutes

Most leaders obsess over the scoreboard in the boardroom. But the one that really matters is at your dinner table. In this episode of 10 Minute Masterclass, Trey Sheneman shares one of the most personal and important leadership lessons he's learned: if you win at work but lose at home, you still lose. This episode is a call to redefine success beyond business growth and invest in the people who matter most.

Key Takeaways

If you win at work but lose at home, you still lose.

Inspired by Randy Gravitt's book Winning Begins at Home.

Don't trade significance for success.

Four core principles for leading at home:

You can't outwork a broken home life – Business wins won't mask the guilt of neglect.

Be a leader, not just a provider – Provision is more than financial; it's emotional and spiritual.

Have rhythms and plans at home – Just like work has one-on-ones, budgets, and planning meetings.

Redefine your success story – Make sure your legacy is about your family, not just your business.

Prioritize connection time: even 30-minute blocks can change how your family feels.

Your work team is important, but your home team is the first team.
