Podcast Description — Forge by Design: The 10 "I"s of Leadership
In this episode of Forge by Design, host Daniel Badillo breaks down a powerful leadership framework called the “10 "I"s of Leadership.” Moving beyond the outdated image of the distant, directive boss, this conversation explores how modern leaders succeed by being present, engaged, and people-focused.
You’ll discover why organizations shifted from authoritative, top-down management to collaborative leadership — and how that change transformed workplace culture, morale, and performance. Daniel walks you step-by-step through practical leadership mindsets like being involved, igniting, inviting, inclusive, informed, inspirational, innovative, in spirit and intentional— principles designed to help you connect with people, make wiser decisions, and lead with influence instead of control.
Whether you lead a team, run a business, serve in ministry, or simply want to grow in personal responsibility, this episode gives you a clear blueprint to develop trust, strengthen communication, and inspire others to perform at their highest level.
If you want to become the kind of leader people respect, follow, and grow under — this conversation will help sharpen your perspective and forge your leadership by design.
