In Part 2 of this powerful series on leadership, Andrew Reed turns the spotlight on the Seldom Spoken Aspects of Leadership — the stuff you won't find in standard training manuals. From the illusion of control to the pursuit of self-mastery, this episode dives deep into the emotional, psychological, and spiritual strength required to truly lead. Drawing from decades of REAL-WORLD experience, Andrew challenges leaders to stop managing outcomes and start cultivating "conditions for success".

With themes ranging from emotional regulation to visionary clarity, this session reveals how Leadership is less about command and more about character. It’s about modeling excellence, inspiring trust, managing energy, and creating a standard-driven culture. Reed’s message is clear: you can’t ask others to grow unless you’re willing to evolve first.

If Part 1 was a wake-up call, Part 2 is a guide for building internal strength and external systems that reinforce real results.

Adapted from MVI’s Empowerment Hour: The COMPLETE Seldom Spoken Aspects of Leadership

In the first installment of this four-part series, Andrew Reed strips leadership down to its raw, unsanitized truth. Recorded live during Multi-View Inc.’s Empowerment Hour, this episode focuses on the often-unspoken REALITIES of Leadership — the kind of insight you won’t find in books or on stage. With decades of experience helping organizations place and grow real Leaders, Andrew speaks candidly about Courage, Risk Tolerance, Humility, Failure, and the Burden of Responsibility.

This episode unpacks the intangible — and essential — traits that separate true Leadership from title-holding. From overcoming imposter syndrome to demanding Accountability, from recognizing Intelligence to assessing real readiness, it’s a no-fluff guide for those called to lead. If you’re in a Leadership role — or preparing to become one — this message is both a wake-up call and a toolkit.

"A must or required listening for Executives and Managers of ALL areas and business sectors!"

VISION!!! Often seen as “squishy” - a waste of time, especially if you’ve sat through “Vision Statement Creating” meetings. However, Vision is, in fact, one of the most VALUABLE things a person, as well as an organization, can make! Why? A great Vision can change your LIFE! Literally! It seems that Human beings need a “Bright Horizon” to look forward to! Without a Life-Giving Vision, people perish!

In this episode, Andrew Reed dives into one of the most misunderstood — yet essential — elements of building a great organization: Vision. Far from being corporate fluff or an exercise in branding, Vision is described here as the foundational force that creates FOCUS. Without it, individuals lose direction, teams lose energy, and entire companies drift.

Broadcasting from a mountaintop in the Awakened Forest, Andrew shares how a compelling vision transforms not only organizations, but people. It sharpens decision-making, boosts morale, and fosters the kind of culture that outperforms competitors. From startups to M&A transitions, this episode explains how Vision informs Design, Culture, Leadership Development, Compensation, and Accountability — and how to build one that actually motivates real advancement.
