About this Episode:

In this episode of The Transformative Leader Podcast, I’m happy to be speaking to leadership expert, speaker, author, and all around kindred spirit, John Eades. John is the CEO of LearnLoft, a leadership development company that exists to turn managers into leaders and create healthier places to work. He was named one of LinkedIn's Top Voices in Management & Leadership with his blogs and videos, reaching over 7 million people last year. He is the author of the new book, Building the Best: 8 Proven Leadership Principles to Elevate Others to Success, and he is also the host of the wonderful Follow My Lead Podcast, which has been downloaded over 500,000 times.

I got to know John on LinkedIn about 4 years ago and have been following him ever since. He’s a powerhouse in the leadership development space, specifically with respect to those elusive “soft skills“ such as self-awareness, inspiring commitment, building trust, cultivating a servant leader mindset, and so on. It was great having John on the show, and I know from personal experience that his practical insights will make a huge difference for both existing and inspiring leaders, so be sure to check this episode out.

Some topics discussed in this episode include:

• How John went from professional golfing to leadership development guru.

• Thoughts on why interest in leadership training has exploded in popularity in recent years.

• The five leadership styles that most people fall into.

• The difference between love and discipline in the context of organizational leadership, and why both are needed in today’s leaders.

John Eades graduated from the University of Maryland and spent a couple of years as a professional golfer before calling it quits to pursue his true passion, leadership development. He resides in Charlotte with his wife and 2 children. In his spare time, he stays involved with the Special Olympics.
