Leading With Conviction: The Courage to Say Amen - Part 2

Potential Leader Lab

How can leaders effectively demonstrate where they stand on issues through actions and statements, rather than just their words?

🤔 Our Discussion 🤔

In part two of this discussion, we explore what it means to lead with conviction, and have the courage to say "Amen" as a metaphor for commitment, alignment, and intentionality. We'll unpack the definition of "Amen" and how the term symbolizes a profound belief in future outcomes. We'll touch on the idea of "echos" and why leaders must be keenly aware of the ripples their actions and words can create. We'll also dig into the "Growth Mindset", and why a lot of leaders who believe they have it are dead wrong...

Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.

These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab. He wanted to offer those who share his beliefs the space and safety to explore transformative ideas, experiment with new behaviors, and evolve into the leaders they were meant to be and that the world needs.

This is a framework he has used again and again with his Vistage peer advisory groups and companies like Turn-Key Tunneling, Convergint, Haughn & Associates, I Am Boundless, Ketchum & Walton, LSP Technologies, and Ahlum & Arbor.

Perry lives and works on the shores of Buckeye Lake in Ohio, in the mountains of northwest Georgia, and on the beach in Anna Maria, Florida with his amazingly creative wife Lisa. They have 2 rescue dogs and are intermittently visited by their 3 wonderful children throughout the year. Perry & Lisa are living life in crescendo and focused on exploring, experimenting, and evolving their vision of a life they have no desire to retire from.
