Leadership Lessons with Dr. Thom Mayer

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week, I’m eager to welcome Dr. Thom Mayer to the podcast. He is the Medical Director for the NFL Players Association and was recently nominated to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Dr. Mayer was the originator of the entire NFL Concussion Guidelines program and thus has changed the nature of concussion diagnosis and management worldwide. He served as the Command Physician at the Pentagon Rescue Operation 9/11, Incident Commander for the inhalational anthrax outbreak in Washington, DC, that same year, and led a Team Rubicon Mobile Emergency Team in Ukraine following the outbreak of war. But if that isn’t enough, he's written 25 books, including his most recent, Leadership Is Worthless...But Leading Is Priceless.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone looking to sharpen their leadership skills.    TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… leading through a crisis requires more than just quick decision-making but resilience, adaptability, and a team-first mentality. Dr. Mayer draws on his experience to explore how leaders can navigate uncharted territory while inspiring growth and innovation.    Key takeaways:  - It’s better to build relationships than to build a resume. - Burnout occurs when you become disconnected from your deep joy. - There’s no such thing as a “future” leader. We’re all leading in some way.  - Everybody will fail, but those who learn to make their failures their fuel will grow from setbacks.    WHAT I LOVE MOST… Dr. Mayer says the three common qualities of standout leaders are: thinking about leading as a verb, acting on it within a week, and innovating not at the speed of genius or creativity but at the speed of trust.    Running Time: 24:05   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani Online: Facebook LinkedIn X   Find Dr. Mayer Online: Website  LinkedIn    Dr. Mayer’s Book:  Leadership Is Worthless...But Leading Is Priceless

Welcome to the What’s Next! Podcast. I’ve met so many brilliant people as I traveled the globe and have had some fascinating conversations that I’ve wished had been recorded so I could share them with you - this podcast was a way for me to recreate those moments and let you in on some fantastic insights. My current conversations center around one objective: what's next for companies and individuals as they look to innovate and grow. I hope these conversations inspire you as much as they have inspired me. Whether I am preparing for a keynote speech or writing for publications such as Harvard Business Review and Huffington Post, these are my go-to people. My goal with the What’s Next! podcast is to keep you thinking and to challenge you to think about What’s Next!
