Welcome to “Igniting the CEO Within,” your go-to podcast for inspiring and insightful conversations with today’s business leaders. Hosted by connector and leader Mark McFatridge, this podcast is an extension of the Quade community, bringing together visionary CEOs and business owners from the Quade network and beyond to share their stories, insights, challenges, and triumphs in leadership. We’ll dive into impactful discussions about fostering professional and personal growth, the power of diversity, the benefits of a strong CEO peer group, and actionable advice to enhance your leadership.
In this episode, Mark McFatridge sits down with Jerany Jackson, an executive coach with Maxwell Leadership, to explore what separates effective leaders from ineffective ones. Jerany shares how ego-driven decision-making, micromanagement, and lack of people development can limit leadership success, while emphasizing the importance of stewardship, empowering teams, and coaching-based leadership. She also discusses how evolving processes, investing in people, and embracing continuous growth are essential for leaders who want to build lasting impact and strong organizations.
