Be More Radar, Less Lighthouse

In today’s episode, I offer a fresh perspective on one of the concepts I’ve shared time and time again: leadership is not about having all the answers.

Using the metaphor of a lighthouse versus a radar, I explore the subtle but powerful shift in mindset that enables great leaders to navigate with agility, listen deeply, and respond wisely.

Where the lighthouse stands still and broadcasts in one direction, the radar constantly scans, listens, and adjusts.

That’s what today’s most effective leaders do: they ask more than they tell.

In this short episode, you’ll learn:

• Why strong leaders don’t need to have all the answers
• The power of asking questions over giving instructions
• How this mindset shift can unlock new insights, ideas, and engagement
• A memorable “brain tattoo” to guide your everyday leadership
