In this segment of the Leadership Singularity podcast, the host apologizes for unintentionally revealing the title of an upcoming book, “Disrupting the Disruptors,” and then shares the pivotal insight that led him to found Trident Strategies. He describes witnessing how a single point of leadership failure can cascade through an entire ecosystem—affecting employees, customers, and families—underscoring the far‑reaching impact of poor leadership decisions. He references a guest’s phrase that “leaders are chosen, not self‑appointed,” arguing that self‑appointed leaders create many “kings” without kingdoms, leaving organizations without necessary structure. The host notes a growing, universal hunger for better leadership across cultures and markets, which he sees as validation for Trident Strategies’ mission. He concludes by asking fellow guest Virginie Glaenzer to share her own aha moment.

Chapters

I would like to apologize to our audience for, for Jonathan revealing the name of our second book, Disrupting the Disruptors. I'd like you guys to just kind of skip past that last part there because he's completely given away our marketing scheme. What the biggest aha moment for me really was the whole reason for starting Trident Strategies, very personally in my experience, was that I watched how a single point of leadership failure, you know, at one instance can affect an entire ecosystem and affect hundreds of employees, can affect business, can affect customers, can affect and the families of their employees. Bad decisions in leadership affect everybody. They just do. That's why we call them leaders. That's in our other podcasts that we had. What was the terminology that we had from one of our guests, Virginie Glaenzer? It was, um, leaders are chosen, right? And today, uh, too many leaders would like to be self-anointed, self-appointed. And the problem with that is you can have a lot of kings, but you won't have any kingdoms., and people need structure in which to operate. And, uh, for me, the aha moment in, in seeing each of your guys' individual independent unscripted approaches to the problems of leadership and marketing kind of allowed me to realize, damn, I guess, I guess, um, I guess we are onto something. I guess I am onto something as it relates to the general consensus. Not that so everyone believes the same thing, but a lot of people today no matter where you live or what you believe, are asking and they're desperate and they're starving for better leadership. Right? So, for me, that was the aha moment. What about you, Virginie? What was your aha moment?
