“Approachable is not about being your best friend or even that nice. The question [about a leader] is ‘Is this person someone you feel safe coming to?’”

- Phillip B. Wilson

In this episode of The Pivotal Leader, Gina Trimarco interviewed Phillip B. Wilson, Founder and Chief Evangelist of Approachable Leadership, a leadership consulting firm.

For over two decades as a labor expert, Phil has helped thousands of companies survive – and triumph over – life-or-death employee relations disasters. Over and over, he’s been an eyewitness to leadership train wrecks.  Over years of watching what doesn’t work (including a lot of traditional leadership advice) he’s stumbled upon what he calls “the One Ring of leadership,” approachability. Yeah, he’s also a self-proclaimed nerd.

Like all business owners, Phil is a leader too. He is an Entrepreneur's Organization board member and owner of an Inc. 5000 consulting business. Before that, he was a labor lawyer and HR Director of a riverboat casino (really!) – he has struggled through the same leadership challenges each of us face every day.

Podcast Topics Include:

  • Going from broken to positive leadership
  • The employment relationship – a different kind of marriage
  • Leveraging leadership to turn things around
  • The “one ring” of leadership philosophy
  • Understanding leadership styles
  • Focusing on connection and approachability
  • The 3 most important questions a leader should ask
  • “Power Distance” – a leadership failure
  • The “Stop, Listen & Confirm” approach
  • Strategies for leadership training consultants
