Have you ever stood at a crossroads, torn between the easy choice and the right one? I'm Tim Lansford, and together with Dr. Dean Posey, we tackle the hefty subject of how values and integrity act as the rudder steering our leadership journey. We get real about the times our principles have been tested, drawing from the well of our personal stories, like my ethical quandary leading to a job resignation, and Dean's gritty pursuit of his doctorate.

As the conversation unfolds, Dr. Posey and I peel back the layers of what it means to own our choices and their outcomes. We examine the intertwined nature of integrity, compassion, and the seemingly small act of punctuality. These aren't just buzzwords; they're the scaffolding for building a resilient character and fostering an environment where empathy and understanding flourish. You'll hear candid confessions of missteps and the wisdom gleaned from them, all served with a side of laughter and a few dad jokes to keep things light.

We wrap up by challenging you to think about the consistency of your values across all arenas of life. Whether we're setting boundaries like those at the Alamo or navigating the corporate maze, Dr. Posey and I share insights on living in line with what we stand for––and the profound impact it can have. So, if you're ready to explore the depth of your own values and learn how to apply them from the boardroom to the dinner table, this heart-to-heart is one you won't want to miss.
