Inside Leadership's Mind: What So Many Leaders at Work Get Wrong ft. Heath Luikart

In our fourth installment of Insider Access, Heath Luikart, Chief Operations Officer (COO), joins to unpack what really separates good leaders from great ones, and why that definition often depends on who you ask. Drawing on tools like the Hogan assessment and the 360-degree review process, we explore how the people being led see leadership differently than the leaders themselves, why leadership isn't tied to a title, and how individual contributors can build real leadership skills regardless of their role. We also dig into practical strategies for staying motivated under toxic leadership, and how to build a culture that's both feedback-rich and psychologically safe, whether that's built by design or shaped by experience along the way.
