#0121 – Leadership in the Wild with Kim Troy

Author: Jon S. Rennie May 21, 2022 Duration: 42:03
Today my guest is Kim Troy. Kim is the Founder & CEO of Civilis Consulting which advises leaders in fast-growth businesses. A lot of what she learned about teams and leadership was through her work with wildlife conservation organizations in Southern Africa. How do you lead a team when you are completely out of food and water? What do you do when an elephant herd is blocking your only route back to camp? This was a fascinating discussion about the realities of group dynamics in difficult situations. I know you are going to love this episode!

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.
