January 9, 2026·51m

TRADITION WITHOUT EVOLUTION IS SLOW DEATH WITH BETTER BRANDING When Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs walked into a 30 year old organization and suggested change, leadership told him "that's not how we do things here." His answer: then how is that working for you, and why am I here? The room went silent. IN THIS EPISODE • The four stages of a slowly eroding industry, starting with losing young talent and ending in irrelevance • Why stagnant and stable look alike but are not, and why stagnant things rot • Five principles of innovative leadership, including building a coalition of the willing before you ask for the yes • Why gumption without systems is chaos, and why you lead with evidence, not just vision YOUR CHALLENGE Identify one tradition in your organization that everyone accepts but nobody questions, and ask why. If you can't get a good answer, start redesigning it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Bred To Lead is powered by SIPS Healthcare Solutions.
