Defining leadership and why people really leave their jobs

My interview with Russel Lolacher, Communications & Leadership Expert

Hey Brave Listeners,

In this special episode of The Brave Collective, I’m so excited to welcome my very first guest, Russel Lolacher, host of the Relationships at Work podcast.

Russel is a self-proclaimed “leader and communications nerd” with almost 25 years of experience, and we dive into his journey from working in the service industry to becoming a corporate leader who prioritizes employee well-being and trust. We hit it off over on Threads, and I knew I had to get him on the show!

During our conversation, we dig into how early career experiences shape our ideas about leadership and what it means to create healthy workplace cultures. We also talk about the seven deadly sins of leadership—things like negligence, apathy, and deceit—and how they can allow bad leadership to thrive.

Don’t miss Russel’s thoughtful insights about how self-awareness, situational awareness, and communication are the true pillars of effective leadership. If you're looking for ways to improve your leadership or create a better work environment, you’re going to love this conversation!

Hope you enjoy,
