Leading with Integrity: Navigating Leadership, Growth, and the Weight of Responsibility

In this episode, we dive deep into the real-world challenges and profound rewards of leadership.

I’m joined by Jonathan Bennett—Executive Advisor, Professional Mentor, and Strategist—who helps leaders find clarity, confidence, and purpose amid the pressures of high-stakes decision-making. Jonathan shares insights from his own journey: from being an executive in a large hospital system, to founding and scaling a successful management consulting firm, to ultimately creating an advisory practice focused on supporting the people behind the roles.

We talk about navigating mergers and acquisitions, building psychologically safe cultures, knowing when you need an advisor versus a coach, and how leaders can carry the weight of responsibility without losing themselves in the process. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone in a leadership role—or aspiring to step into one—who wants to lead with integrity and make a meaningful impact.
