LARRY COVAL EXPOSES THE “KEYNOTE CARTEL” THAT HAS BEEN LYING TO LEADERS FOR DECADES

Most leadership advice comes from people who have never actually led anyone.

Larry Coval is the author of the upcoming book, “Misled: Why Almost Everything We Learned About Leadership Is Wrong and How to Fix It.” He is also the founder and principal of Arcane Leadership Concepts.

With nearly 40 years of corporate leadership experience, including serving as an officer at a multibillion-dollar company, Larry has experienced leadership from the frontline to the boardroom.

In this episode, Larry breaks down:

• The “leadership industrial complex” and “keynote cartel”
• Why much of today’s leadership advice fails in the real workplace
• The real reason people show up to work, and why it is not passion
• How performance improvement plans lost their original purpose
• Why DEI struggled to deliver what it promised
• How AI can give leaders back their most valuable resource: time
• Why following tailwind success stories like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk can hide serious leadership gaps
• What leaders should do differently to produce measurable results
