How to Eliminate Leadership and Career Stagnation - Steps 2-5

The discussion argues that inclusive innovation is a system, not a department, and that many organizations are hindered by overlooking their mid-level managers. These managers should be appreciated as crucial for translating strategy into action and for possessing vital insights from both the C-suite and the front lines. Excluding them from innovation processes leads to stalled initiatives, lost insights, and leadership drain. True inclusive innovation involves not only who is within the company but also innovating for and with consumers, with mid-level managers playing a key role due to their proximity to both. In conclusion the discussion suggests that changing this requires a mindset shift, structural adjustments, and cultural reinforcement to include and value the perspectives of mid-level leadership.

How to Handle Leadership Limitations S1-89

What makes a leader truly transformational? Is it their vision, their charisma, or their ability to inspire lasting change?

In this talk, we apply the principles of charismatic and transformational leadership to analyze and compare the leadership styles of four influential figures: Steve Jobs, Jack Welch, Rudy Giuliani, and Beth Galetti—Senior Vice President of People at Amazon.

Grounded in leadership theory, we explore how each leader embodies or challenges key dimensions of influence, including vision creation, emotional expressiveness, narcissism, leadership polarity, and communication style.

This session highlights:

How Steve Jobs turned product vision into cult-like influence
How Jack Welch prioritized performance through transformation
How Rudy Giuliani demonstrated crisis charisma—and its limits
How Beth Galetti leverages structured empowerment and trust-building in one of the world’s most complex people systems

We also explore the contrasts between socialized vs. personalized charisma, and what makes someone a truly transformational leader—one who reshapes people, cultures, and outcomes.

This talk aligns with leadership learning goals such as:
Understanding the traits and behaviors of charismatic leaders
Breaking down the visionary and moral dimensions of transformation
Identifying ethical concerns and blind spots in charismatic influence
Developing authentic presence rooted in trust, values, and vision

Whether you’re a student, a business leader, or someone curious about leadership in action, this session offers practical insight into what it means to lead—and be followed—in today’s complex world.

How Leaders can Stop Overworking S1-92

Power is real. Politics are inevitable. The question is: will you use them well—or be used by them?

In this bold and practical leadership session, Dr. Claude B. Kershner IV breaks down the realities of power, empowerment, and organizational politics—and gives you the tools to lead through them with wisdom, effectiveness, and integrity.

Drawing from timeless research and real-world insight, this talk explores:

🔹 The 7 core sources of power—and how to build influence beyond your job title
🔹 What empowerment really means (and why delegating isn’t enough)
🔹 The difference between personal power and positional authority
🔹 How to become a leader who multiplies others’ potential, not just controls outcomes
🔹 Why organizational politics are unavoidable—and how to navigate them ethically
🔹 The line between strategic influence and unethical manipulation
🔹 How to control dysfunctional politics and protect your team from toxic behaviors

We explore practical leadership behaviors such as:

Giving away credit to gain trust
Asking for advice to build political capital
Avoiding the blunders that sabotage reputations
Practicing self-leadership to model empowerment from the top down

Whether you're leading a startup, managing a team, or developing your leadership style, this talk will help you see power and politics not as dirty words—but as essential leadership tools that must be used with character, courage, and clarity.
