episode 1 - the word is sock

Welcome to the first episode of ‘The Word is Leadership’ podcast, where each week, our host, global leadership speaker, author and consultant, Emmanuel Gobillot, embarks on a unique journey by selecting a random word to extract valuable leadership lessons from it. In this inaugural episode, our word is surprisingly simple yet profound – sock.

We reflect on the unnoticed habits in our organizations, akin to the automatic act of putting on socks each day. Drawing parallels between organizational routines and the habitual nature of wearing socks, Emmanuel highlights the potential for embarrassment when we overlook ingrained practices.

This episode delves into the importance of periodically questioning the necessity and efficiency of entrenched systems to identify and rectify suboptimal processes.

In this entertaining and insightful journey through the seemingly mundane, ‘The Word is Leadership’ sets the stage for future episodes that promise to uncover leadership lessons from unexpected corners of the dictionary.
