Episode Details

What makes people truly want to follow a leader — not out of obligation, but out of trust and belief?

In this episode of Called to Flourish, Jim Brown, Founder of OrgHealth and leadership coach, challenges the myth of perfect leadership and shares why authenticity, humility, and curiosity are the real foundations of influence. Drawing from decades of coaching executives and leadership teams, Jim explains how trust deepens when leaders stop pretending, invite honest conversation, and prioritize people over image. This conversation offers practical wisdom for leaders who want to build cultures where trust grows and leadership becomes worth following.

You'll gain insight on:

• Why "perfect leadership" undermines trust

• How vulnerability and authenticity strengthen influence

• Why great leaders ask better questions instead of having all the answers

• How healthy culture multiplies organizational performance
