Author: Jon S. Rennie December 30, 2023 Duration: 40:14
Today, I’m joined by Dr. Brian Smith, and we're talking about Mastering Positive Influence. Brian is the founder and senior managing partner of IA Business Advisors, a management consulting firm that has worked with more than 19,000 CEOs, entrepreneurs, managers, and employees worldwide. Together with his daughter Mary Griffin, Brian has authored a new book called Positive Influence: Be the “I” in Team. This book instructs readers in the fine art of transforming their influence into a force for good; for themselves, the teams they work in, and the environment around them. Now, John Maxwell said, “Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.” I’m excited to have Brian on the show to learn more about Mastering Positive Influence.

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.
