The old leadership playbook—the top-down, command-and-control model—is officially obsolete. But what has replaced it? In this actionable episode of Engage & Inspire, host Scott Liles maps the complete evolution of leadership for the 21st century.

We break down the three distinct eras of leading effectively:

1. The Past: The Command Architect – Why the industrial-era hierarchy fails in a fast-paced world.
2. The Present: The Catalyst & Connector – Discover the four data-backed pillars that define successful leaders today (featuring research from McKinsey, ICF, and BCG), translated into simple, actionable steps.
3. The Future: The Systems Architect – Learn the three critical competencies you need to build now to lead resilient, adaptable organizations tomorrow.

This episode moves beyond theory to provide a clear blueprint. Whether you're a new manager or a seasoned executive, you'll learn how to shift from directing people to designing the ecosystems where they—and new technologies—can thrive. Plus, we've got an exclusive offer from our sponsor, Pins & Aces.

Tune in to redefine your influence and learn how to architect lasting success.

Is your calendar a never-ending series of Zoom calls and conference room bookings? Do you leave most meetings wondering, "Couldn't this have been an email?" You're not alone—and today, we're fixing it.

In this actionable episode of Engage & Inspire, host Scott Liles delivers a practical, research-backed framework to revolutionize how you think about meetings. You'll discover:

• The Three-Question Litmus Test - A simple checklist (that you can download!) to determine if a meeting is truly necessary before you ever send that calendar invite.

• Shocking statistics about meeting productivity (spoiler: over 60% of meetings fail at their primary goal).

• The hidden cost of meetings—including the 20-minute"recovery time" that nobody talks about.

• The Meeting Blueprint - How to design necessary meetings that actually inspire action instead of drain energy.

• Practical alternatives for every type of meeting trap (what to do instead of that weekly status update).

• How to shift your team culture from meeting-by-default to conscious collaboration.

Whether you're a team leader drowning in back-to-backs or an individual contributor tired of irrelevant invites, this episode gives you the tools to reclaim your time, protect your focus, and transform meetings from productivity killers into strategic accelerators.

This is it. The final letter of the HELM leadership framework series.

Most company missions are "Foam Finger Philosophy"—big, loud, and ultimately empty. They're designed for the 'About Us' page, not for the human heart behind the keyboard. But what if your team's mission could be the electric jolt that turns "I have to" into "I get to"?

Join host Scott Liles for the powerful conclusion of the HELM series as we unlock the final, pivotal letter: M for Mission-Driven. This isn't about writing a better slogan. This is about discovering the strategic engine that rewires your team for innovation, inoculates them against burnout, and builds radical trust with your customers.

In this episode, you’ll get:

• The Three-Part Architecture of Innovation: How a true mission acts as a channel for creativity, turning scattered ideas into focused breakthroughs.
• The Cognitive Triage System: How a living mission directly battles the three roots of burnout—exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy.
• The Trust Multiplier: How a mission transforms your sales from transactions into invitations to join a shared cause.
• Three Actionable Tools: Implement the "Task-to-Impact" Translator, the "Mission Filter" meeting ritual, and the "Mission Moment" Spotlight to weave purpose into your team's daily rhythm.

Your mission statement isn't a sentence for your website. It is the genetic code for your organization's decisions, energy, and growth. You’ve built your ship with Humility, charted the seas with Empathy, and secured your crew with Loyalty. Now, learn how to catch the wind.

Your HELM is complete. It's time to find your horizon and chase it.
