Building the Best: John Eades on Leading Indicators, the Free Three, and Leading at Home
John Eades, CEO of LearnLoft and author of Building the Best, joins Greg Aden to talk leadership principles, measuring leading indicators, and politics at work.
John shares how failing as a leader twelve years ago, and finding no road map he could actually use, led to seven years of studying leaders and a book built on stories to inspire, models to teach, and principles to remember. He walks Greg through the Free Three, a daily one point self check on how you think, what you do, and how you behave, and explains why he cares more about the inputs than the scoreboard, even while insisting that ignoring results is malpractice for leaders today.
Greg and John also get personal about being famous at home before chasing being famous at work, including the habit of having his kids read the day's Optimistic Outlook out loud in the car so they practice speaking up before the stakes get high. They dig into his article The Silent Rebirth of Leadership, the Rick Pitino story behind the title, what a LinkedIn Top Voice honor really means, and why pretending politics does not exist inside a large organization is its own leadership mistake.
