Character, Capability, and Connection: Clint Kofford’s Path
In this episode of On The Path, Chris and Colin sit down with longtime friend and leadership advisor Clint Kofford, President & Managing Director of LeaderWorks. Clint shares how a formative two-year experience in Russia at age nineteen first forced him to lead peers, hold them accountable, and care for their well-being—well before he ever had a corporate title. From there, the conversation traces how faith, family, and career have shaped his view that leadership is ultimately about who you are, not just what you do.
Together they unpack Clint’s framework of character, capability, and connection, why “declaring who you are up front” pays off, and how small compromises quietly erode the legacy you’re building. Clint talks about social capital without the sleaze of “networking,” the impact of being the same person at home and in the office, and why he believes legacy is a choice—a stack of daily decisions, not a single moment. The episode closes with a challenge for leaders stepping into bigger roles: shift the focus off yourself, center your purpose on others, and build simple practices—like daily reflection and meditation—that keep you On The Path.
