#0112 – Leading with Grit with Jerry Adams

Author: Jon S. Rennie April 10, 2022 Duration: 42:50
Today I’m joined by Jerry Adams. Jerry is a veteran leader in the steel industry. He’s the guy who steel mills call when they need to improve operational performance. What I love about Jerry is that he doesn’t just focus on the results, he focuses on the people. He knows that people will ultimately deliver the results when properly supported and motivated. He knows this because he’s been there. He started his career from the bottom and worked his way up. He is the founder of Men of Grit where he teaches men what it takes to make an extraordinary impact on their families, their jobs, and their communities. I’m excited to have him on the show to talk about how grit and perseverance can help us all become better leaders.

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.
