In this episode of "Lead, Learn, Connect," host Alan Krieger sits down with Dennis McIntee, a business consultant, gifted keynote speaker, executive coach and author. Dennis shares his unique "drama-free" approach to leadership, focusing on how leaders can transform frustration into productivity and navigate emotions effectively.
It’s not an emotionless approach. Dennis explains how embracing emotions like frustration and irritation can actually fuel creativity and action. Dennis also talks about how grief and missed expectations accumulate like emotional “rocks in a backpack”—and how leaders can help their teams let go and move forward.
Dennis shares practical tools for reducing workplace drama and fostering a culture of choice and accountability. And has a free offer for people who listen to the end! Dennis is the co-founder of the Leadership Development Group and is from Greenville, South Carolina.
Whether you're a new coach, experienced facilitator, or organizational leader, this episode is packed with insight and practical tools to build a stronger, more emotionally resilient culture.
