Unlocking Peak Performance | The Leadership Toolkit

This week on The Leadership Toolkit, host Mike Phillips sits down with Dr. Rob Lion — leadership expert, professor, consultant, and fly-fishing enthusiast — to dive deep into what it really takes to transform workplace cultures. From research-backed leadership strategies to people-first engagement models, Dr. Lion shares how you can build thriving teams that don't just survive — they soar.

Through the episode Dr. Lion emphasizes the importance of placing people in positions to win. At the center of leadership strategies, he asserts, “My primary objective at the end of the day is totally performance, but not at the expense of the individual.” This mantra signifies the necessity of creating workplaces where employees thrive—not just in terms of output, but in life overall.

I love what Dr. Rob Lion shared on the three vital aspects of leadership that, when addressed, can significantly cultivate an advanced company culture.
1. Competency: Are your team members confident in their skills? If not, competency development must occur to facilitate both their growth and the organization's success.
2. Autonomy: Empowering individuals at work inspires creativity and ownership of tasks that leads to higher engagement levels. How can you delegate effectively to allow your team to lead portions of the project?
3. Relatedness: Encourage connections among coworkers, creating a supportive network where individuals feel safe sharing insights and concerns. What initiatives can you adopt to promote team bonding?

When connecting with your people, have you checked their CAR?
