About this listen

What if the two most important leadership lessons aren’t about strategy... but about how you show up in a room?

In this Hot Takes episode of Sessions with System & Soul, Benj Miller and McKenzie Reeves Decker unpack two game-changing insights from leaders who have actually built legendary companies.

🔥 Bill Campbell, the trusted coach behind Apple and Google, believed success starts with something most leaders overlook:

“Get your 1:1s and team meetings right, and everything else will follow.”
When relationships are strong, results follow. Simple. Powerful. Overlooked.

🔥 Then comes Leila Hormozi, powerhouse CEO of Acquisition.com, with a hard truth:

“Only 5% of your team will be ready for your company’s next chapter.”
So what do you do with that reality?
Avoid it? Hide it? Or lead with clarity, even when it's uncomfortable?

🎙️ Inside this episode:

Why most teams underperform and how to change that fast
What the top 5% of high-growth team members all have in common
How founders unknowingly stall their growth
How to lead people through change without losing trust
And why your systems should protect your culture, not just your KPIs
