Mainline Executive Coaching ACT
Steam Locomotives were some of the most powerful machines ever built. They represented vision, ingenuity, collaboration, and extraordinary human achievement. However, to get to the next destination, they had to be directed to the mainline. This required someone directing the train through a series of switches to reach the right destination. Just like these amazing machines, leaders and organizations alike need the right direction and “switching” to reach their destinations—this is the essence of Intelligent Leadership® (IL). IL is a transformational, results-driven leadership growth philosophy and process that ignites, cultivates, and polishes an individual’s heart, mind, and soul in support of creating a truly exceptional leadership and cultural capability in an organization.
At its core, Intelligent Leadership (IL) empowers leaders to unlock their full potential—transforming their leadership capabilities and the organizations they serve. Pioneered by John Mattone, recognized as the world’s #1 executive coach, IL provides a proven roadmap for achieving sustained leadership excellence and organizational success. IL provides the framework that is needed in today’s world for leaders and organizations to set the right direction and execute the required “switching” to reach their goals.
IL is not just a philosophy; it’s a process that addresses the dual dimensions of leadership—the inner core and the outer core. By developing character, values, and beliefs (inner core) alongside strategic competencies like communication, vision, and execution (outer core), leaders can achieve alignment and drive extraordinary outcomes. Intelligent Leadership has impacted the lives of millions of leaders and thousands of organizations across the globe—55 nations and still counting.

The Narcissism Tax: What Selfish Leaders Cost Their Teams
How often have you felt like "ME" replaced "WE" in your organization? If this is you, you are not alone.
In today’s episode — “The Narcissism Tax: What Selfish Leaders Cost Their Teams” — we’re unpacking one of the most destructive yet overlooked forces in organizations: self-interested leadership.
When a leader’s ego takes the driver’s seat, the whole organization pays the price — in disengagement, lost trust, stalled innovation, and the quiet exit of great people. We’ll explore how narcissistic or self-serving behavior shows up in subtle ways, why it erodes psychological safety, and what truly healthy leadership looks like instead.
Because every act of selfishness at the top carries a hidden tax — one that’s paid by the culture, the team, and ultimately, the bottom line.
Join Rich and Maikel as we uncover the real cost of narcissistic, self-serving leadership in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
