Leading Today. Ep 11: The Authenticity Paradox: What Leaders Need to Know

In this episode, Dr. Lisa Bagby explores how authenticity and leadership maturity work together to build trust, clarity, and stronger team relationships. You’ll hear practical insight on how leaders can communicate with honesty, emotional awareness, and intention in ways that support both people and performance. If you want a deeper understanding of authentic leadership in workplaces, this conversation is for you.

Leading Today. Ep 8: Why Good Leaders Employ Strategic Space.

What is Strategic Space? As a leader do you know how to use this important skill with your team? High-performing leaders often believe constant hustle is the only path to results; but what if the real strategic advantage is the space you protect? In this episode of Leading Today, Dr. Lisa Bagby shares a pivotal lesson from her USC doctoral journey about stepping away from nonstop research and writing, and how that shift unlocked deeper creativity, sharper analysis, and true innovation. Listeners will explore the science of incubation, the power of psychological safety, and three practical tools emotionally intelligent leaders can use to create space where creativity and critical thinking come together for maximum impact.

Leading Today. Ep. 7: Are good intentions sabotaging your leadership?

What happens when self-awareness quietly leaves the room… but confidence stays? In this episode, we explore how good intentions can morph into subtle overreach, how “helping” can become hijacking, and how one person’s blind spot can destabilize an entire team. If emotional intelligence is the foundation of strong leadership, what does it cost when self-reflection disappears? For those interested in leadership development, emotional intelligence, inclusive leadership, healthcare leadership, this is for you.

Leading Today. Ep. 6: Isolation is a bully tactic: The leadership cost of exclusion

A powerful insight from my daughter sparked this episode: “Isolation is a bully tactic.” In this conversation, I unpack the subtle but damaging difference between isolation and exclusion—and why both undermine trust, engagement, and performance inside teams. More importantly, I challenge leaders to examine how their everyday behaviors may be shaping a culture of silence rather than belonging. Drawing on the work of psychologist Albert Bandura and his Social Cognitive Theory, we explore how workplace dynamics are learned, modeled, and repeated often beginning in family systems long before we enter corporate life.

Leading Today. Ep. 5: How Smart Leaders Use Business Intelligence with Emotional Intelligence

Leaders are surrounded by dashboards, metrics, and analytics, yet still face challenges with turnover, morale, and innovation. This conversation unpacks how emotional intelligence strengthens business intelligence by helping leaders ask better questions, interpret data in context, and create environments where people perform at their best.

Leading Today. Ep 4: Leadership and EI in Conflict Resolution

Conflict is inevitable. Chaos is optional. Emotionally intelligent leaders don’t avoid conflict they manage it responsibly, in a way that builds trust even when outcomes are imperfect.

Leading Today. Ep 3: BONUS- Empathy and Compassion — The Leadership Behaviors Hiding in Plain Sight

Bonus episode- Many leaders believe they are empathetic and compassionate. And often, they intend to be, however…

Leading Today. Ep 3 : Compassion as Power as a Leader

This episode honors Dr Martin Luther King Jr. It is a short lesson about my take on Dr. King’s leadership.

Leading Today. Ep 2: Why leaders should apologize!

Today’s episode of ‘Leading Today’ is about one of the most underused, high-impact tools in a leader’s toolkit: the words, ‘I was wrong. I’m sorry” The element most leaders miss is an apology directed at their own team; done well, that single move can dramatically increase trust, psychological safety, and engagement on a team. An authentic apology is not a soft skill extra, it is a hard-edge leadership behavior that directly affects performance, retention, and culture.

Leading Today. Ep 1: What kind of leader are you?

Today’s episode is my personal story and experience as a young college student observing and experiencing work life early on, and what a good leader is NOT!
