Description

When you’re building a business, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle, the metrics, and the systems. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by team challenges, struggled to motivate others, or wondered why your leadership isn’t landing the way you hoped, this conversation is for you. 

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Sam Adeyemi, a globally respected executive coach, leadership strategist, and author who has trained over 52,000 leaders through his Daystar Leadership Academy. He’s coached CEOs around the world, and what sets Dr. Sam apart is his passion for people-centered leadership. In this conversation, he breaks down why your people, not your processes, are your most valuable asset and how learning to lead with empathy, strategy, and vision can transform your business from the inside out.

  • Why focusing on results and processes alone leads to burnout and turnover

  • The mindset shift every leader must make to become people-focused

  • How to build trust and loyalty without sacrificing accountability

  • Ways to create a values-driven culture
