What happens when you put leadership on Santa’s naughty and nice list? In this Monday Mindset episode, Nick and Wil break down the leadership moments of 2025 that built trust, protected culture, and served people well. From servant leadership and title-free influence to what power really reveals about character, this episode is a fun, honest end-of-year reminder that the way you lead always shows.

Key Takeaways:

• Servant leadership is about helping others grow into their potential, not making yourself the center of the story.
• The best leaders don’t need a title to lead because influence comes from action and consistency.
• A strong leader needs both heart and spine because empathy without accountability creates frustration.
• If people don’t see fairness and consistency, trust erodes even when performance looks “fine” on paper.
• Employee morale drops fast when leaders preach values they don’t actually live out.
• Power doesn’t create character, it reveals it.
• Leaders who blur emotional lines at work can unintentionally create long-term culture damage.
• “We’re a family” can become a red flag when it’s used to soften hard business decisions.
• Investing in employee growth is one of the smartest long-game retention strategies a leader can make.
• Expanding wealth-building opportunities beyond the top levels strengthens loyalty and ownership across the organization.
• Supporting mental health and caregivers is not a perk, it’s culture strategy.
• Integrity failures at the top don’t stay at the top because employees and customers always pay the price.
• Cutting corners that endanger people isn’t poor leadership, it’s criminal behavior.
• Leaders should reward results based on role expectations, not personal preference or likability.
• A leader’s private choices often become public consequences, especially in a world with cameras everywhere.
