What makes a leader truly great? For Jim Salvucci, it begins with being a decent human being. On Leadership 101, the author of Greater Than Great shares how his father’s kindness and integrity shaped his understanding of leadership—and why fame, status, and titles matter less than the character behind them.
Jim draws on his experience as a professor, dean, vice president, leadership coach, and consultant to explore the book’s three guiding ideas: learning, logic, and life. He explains why leadership involves both teaching and continuous learning, how values and sound reasoning inform decisions, and why leadership is a way of showing up throughout life, not only at work.
The conversation also introduces Jim’s four Cs of leadership: character, communication, compromise, and collaboration. He explains how self-awareness and character help leaders communicate with meaning, build trust, work through differences, and create collaborative cultures. This episode offers a thoughtful look at leadership grounded in everyday behavior, clear thinking, and human decency.
