How to Elevate Leadership and Transform Teams: Beckie Barta of RB Elevate | Ep. 9
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Industry Ignited, Dr. Leeanne Aguilar sits down with Beckie Barta, Chief Elevation Officer at RB Elevate, to unpack what leadership looks like when it’s truly a catalyst for growth. Drawing on two decades in global operations, Beckie shares how clarity, confident preparation, and purpose-driven, human-centered leadership turn teams into high performers—especially through acquisitions, restructures, and rapid change. She tackles common leader traps like overcommitment and under-delegation (“treat time like currency”), explains why transformation must be managed like a product (not a project), and shows how data and storytelling belong together. Looking ahead, she argues AI will amplify the value of distinctly human skills—decision-making, communication, trust, and EQ—making now the moment for leaders to elevate themselves and, in turn, everyone around them.
