Leadership has become a buzzword. In this podcast, Dr. Larry Little skips the over-used cliches and industry jargon about leadership and digs deep into the moments when real people have been faced with hard decisions about what kind of leader they want to be. Leadership doesn’t happen in the vacuum of an office or boardroom, but in the moments when we strive and fail and try again to show up for our team, our friends, our families, and ourselves. This series will feature personal interviews with leaders from all walks of life, and give you insight into how they showed up in the moments that made them who they are today- the moments when they chose to cross the line.
