Welcome to Episode 176 of Building My Legacy.

 In this podcast we talk with management consultant and leadership coach Deb Coviello, who, for more than 25 years, has helped transform businesses from within, elevating the talents of their organizations to new performance levels. Having worked as an engineer in quality and operational excellence in manufacturing environments, Deb took the leap to form her own company, Illumination Partners, which works particularly with the CEOs of medium-sized manufacturers that are going through significant changes.

Deb’s discussion with us is especially timely as we look at what many experts predict will be a tremendous talent shift. As things stabilize, it’s estimated that between 40 and 70 percent of employees will look for a new job. Deb believes that, to prevent a tremendous turnover in your business, you need to recognize that people are the “greatest tool in your toolbox” and, by getting back on track to your “true North,” you can create a shared vision with your employees.

So if you want to know:

  • Why it’s better to be your industry’s “favorite” than its #1
  • Why thinking about how you can lead differently is more important than creating a to-do list
  • About the need for leaders to continue to evolve
  • The top three suggestions for CEOs operating in today’s world
  • Signs you’re losing the emerging leaders in your organization
