Author: Jon S. Rennie August 29, 2020 Duration: 47:52
Today, my guest is Jeff Akin. Jeff is a former submariner who has more than 20 years of leadership experience in both the public and private sectors. He’s also a motivational speaker, voice-over artist, and podcast host. In fact, I think Jeff has the most unique leadership podcasts on the planet (and maybe other planets as well). He is the host and creator of the Starfleet Leadership Academy podcast. If you’re thinking Star Trek, you are correct. In this podcast, Jeff breaks down episodes of Star Trek and points out all of the important leadership lessons. You don’t have to be a fan of Star Trek fan to really appreciate the creativity of what he is doing. In a world crowded with leadership podcasts, the Starfleet Leadership Academy podcast is truly unique.  Starfleet Leadership Academy podcast Jeff Akin website Jeff Akin on Twitter Jeff Akin on Instagram _____ Learn more about my bestselling leadership book "I Have the Watch: Becoming a Leader Worth Following" here.

For anyone who’s ever felt that leadership advice can be too theoretical or disconnected from reality, Deep Leadership offers a grounded alternative. Host Jon S. Rennie operates from a simple, powerful belief: “Leadership is a People Business.” This isn’t about abstract concepts; it’s about the tangible, often messy work of guiding teams and organizations. Jon brings a unique perspective shaped by his time as a Cold War Submarine Officer and over two decades leading within Corporate America before founding his own manufacturing company. In each episode, he translates that extensive experience into practical, actionable insights you can apply immediately. The conversations here delve into the core of what makes leadership work-or fail-across business, culture, and society. You’ll hear from Jon and a variety of expert guests as they explore the philosophical and practical dimensions of guiding people, discussing everything from daily management challenges to broader cultural forces that shape how we work. This podcast is built on the conviction that leadership matters profoundly, and that getting it right requires depth, reflection, and a relentless focus on the human element. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that cut through the noise and get to the heart of leading well.
