#0211 – Everyone Needs a Fool with Paul Glover

Author: Jon S. Rennie May 20, 2023 Duration: 46:24
Today, I’m joined by a returning guest to the show. You might remember Paul Glover from back in episode 120. Paul helps us understand why everyone needs a fool in their lives. He is an Executive Performance Coach, Speaker, and Author. He spent 20 years as a Federal Court Trial Lawyer before making the transition to helping leaders. Paul is returning to the show to discuss his recent Tedx talk called Everyone Needs a Fool in Their Lives. In this performance, Paul shares why having a fool in our lives, someone we trust enough to give us the psychological safety required to tell us the truth, is essential so we can see our blind spots and break our patterns of self-destructive behavior. I’m excited to have him on the show to talk about this important topic.

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.
