Quote: "A tool can be useful without being proven; but the moment we treat it as truth, we cross a line" — Hosts of Points of Leadership Podcast

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for. Good leaders grow on purpose. Points of Leadership is where that growth happens.  

Hosted by Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, ordained minister, author, and leadership educator, alongside co-host Kristin Jaeck, CEO of ReWorking Strategies, combine over three decades of corporate leadership experience, this podcast delivers practical, faith-informed leadership development for leaders in any industry who want to lead with greater impact, integrity, and care for the people they serve. So, pull up a chair, call a friend, and take a listen.
 
In our last episode, we unpacked the first three gaps of leadership assessments models and addressed how companies can get the optimal outcomes using these leadership tools. Harvard Business Review (HBR) asserts that leadership tools must be scientifically validated for psychometric reliability and predictive validity to avoid all forms of bias and inaccurate use, especially for recruitment. In this episode of Points of Leadership, we dive into three more gaps, first exploring why scientific validation is necessary for leadership assessment tools. According to the Harvard Business Review effective assessments should move beyond face validity to measure specific, evidence-based dimensions, including foundational traits, growth agility, and career competencies.

Secondly, we provide some insights on why it is necessary for leadership assessment models and tools to be universally valued to avoid misinterpretation, abuse or confusion and models. Harvard Business Review analysis indicates that traditional leadership assessment models and tools were designed and implemented in a Western, corporate or individualistic context. When these leadership assessments are used outside of a Western context, the content, or knowledge of the assessment model require adaptation in the context of that culture at hand for it to be globally functional. It is important that any assessment tool meet and address different cultural contexts to provide the element of standardization.

Lastly, we address role oversimplification of some leadership assessment tools. Any grassroot leader understands that real work is messy and requires that people shift gears constantly. For example, a business leader might need to inspire employees, manage budgets, and collaborate with partners all in the same week or day. This means growth is inevitable and some of the leadership assessment tools create a fixed identity around something that might be fluid.

As always, the leadership principles we share here on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life on these additional three leadership assessments gaps. We appreciate all the feedback. Thank you for engaging with us.

Quote: "So that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.” — Colossians 1:10

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for. Good leaders grow on purpose. Points of Leadership is where that growth happens.  

Hosted by Dr. Feyi Obamehinti, ordained minister, author, and leadership educator, alongside co-host Kristin Jaeck, CEO of ReWorking Strategies, combine over three decades of corporate leadership experience, this podcast delivers practical, faith-informed leadership development for leaders in any industry who want to lead with greater impact, integrity, and care for the people they serve.

Leadership assessments have become a plumbline for many companies’ human resources operations. From DISC, Gallup, 360, Working Genius and more. These assessments help identify natural strengths, behaviors and gaps for growth. Since these leadership tools are designed by humans, we can expect some anomalies that deviate from what are expected functionally. Even though the anomalies could be in the 3-5 percent range, that is still a big enough gap to ensure the integrity of the leadership assessments, because people are unique in all aspects of their creation and being.

During our last episode, we examined the Working Genius model and how important it is to align people’s geniuses with their job-related roles. Companies like Michelin show us the great impact of investment in aligning their employees’ genius with their roles. Employees everywhere can benefit from this type of investment for optimal outcomes. In this episode we do a deep dive into some of the gaps and address how companies can get the optimal outcomes using leadership assessments models.

First, we examine how a team’s power dynamics can be omitted with the assumption that there are equal voices and psychological safety on all teams. We explain how each leadership assessments tool sees through an ideal lens, rather than real world teams. In an Harvard Business Review article, ensuring teams are fair and safe is critical. Leaders that care for their teams make impact as an outflow of that trust and psychological safety. When leaders “edge God out” their teams suffer and it is a tell-tale sign of inner turmoil.

Secondly, we provide some insights on how leadership assessment tools can be misused in recruiting and retention. In the era of artificial intelligence (AI), some companies use AI for several steps in their hiring process, such as screening. However, some of the AI models have not yet been fully refined for every people group and could be biased in its assessment results. To ensure the fidelity of leadership assessment tools, transparency is important to address the risks and ethics associated with using them.

Lastly, we address the lack of developmental pathways in some leadership assessment tools. For those that propose frustration areas without pathways for growth, seem to provide a license for disengagement and high turn-over. Instead, we applaud self-governance and leadership growth for employees that go the extra mile to find alternatives outside their organizations to intentionally grow.  

As always, the leadership principles we share here on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life on addressing these leadership assessments gaps.

​Quote: "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” — 1 Peter 4: 10

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for. Good leaders grow on purpose. Points of Leadership is where that growth happens.

The best companies and organizations work diligently to retain their effective team members. This is because of the high cost of turnover. In its 2025 article about cost of turnover, High 5 Test, states that replacing a leader in a company can cost up to 200% of their salary. For technical roles that is 80% of salary and frontline roles, that cost is 40% of salary. These data emphasize the high importance of return on investment of aligning people’s genius with job related roles.

Michelin is a company that understands this high importance of return on investment of aligning their employees’ genius with their roles. In a case study conducted by Havard Business Review since 2012, Michelin implemented an empowerment approach by tapping into a vast reservoir of human ingenuity of their employees, delivering over $500 million in manufacturing improvements by 2020. The article calls for organizations to create work environments where all employees can contribute meaningfully.

The concept of employees contributing meaningfully is exactly what Patrick Lencioni’s Working Genius is all about. The founder of The Table Group, Lencioni is the pioneer of the organizational health movement. Lencioni’s book Working Genius is guiding companies in aligning employees’ working genius with roles and responsibilities. From helping organizations understand the gifts of their teams, the Working Genius also help teams understand their team’s frustrations,

In this episode of Points of Leadership, we examine Lencioni’s six working genius and how that is applied to people’s strengths and uniqueness. From the genius of wonder, discernment, enablement, invention, galvanizing and tenacity, this is an episode that will equip leaders in ensuring their teams are well aligned by strengths and roles. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life.

Quote: "Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity there is no growth.” — C. S. Lewis  

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for. Good leaders grow on purpose. Points of Leadership is where that growth happens.

Growth is not a onetime endeavor, but rather a continuous marathon. At the center of organizations’ goals is ensuring their teams are emotionally intelligent and working collaboratively. In a 2025 article by Havard Business Review (HBR) in its collective on emotional intelligence, the article asserted that a collection of virtuosos does not usually make a virtuosic team. Similarly, in the Havard Business Review (HBR) collective on collaborations, a recent article explores how the labor of leadership mandates collaboration and engagement to ensure agency for the entire team and organization. When agency is low, or non-existent, restoring that is essential.
 
In this episode of Points of Leadership, we examine the final growth points in our series. First, we share three things that emotional intelligent team members possess to ensure continuous growth for the organization. Secondly, we share three ways to ensure successful collaborations that impact continuous growth for teams, families, and communities. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life.

Quote: "When we stop growing, we stop living and start existing.” — Warren Wiersbe 

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for.

Growth is like stretching during your regular exercise routine. A leader who commits to growing is consistently stretching beyond their limits. Now imagine a team that commits to growing together—they become an unstoppable force, stretching above and beyond any limits. In this episode of Points of Leadership, we are stretching in our growth points as we share the next two points in our series.

In a client stories publication, Harvard Business Impact shared how a top global brand is developing their next generation of leaders. Building a solid system of consistency and accountability, Imperial Brands believed that investing in its next generation of leaders was the most impactful way to develop a different caliber of leaders. 

The company CEO believed that empowering and equipping their people to achieve the extraordinary is the key to their company's future success. This can be applied to teams across many dimensions. In this second episode in this series, we provide practical examples of what integrity, consistency and accountability looks like in a team.

Secondly, we provide three ways for empowering and equipping our next generation of leaders to lead impactfully in their own lives and that of their teams. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life on these growth points for this year.

Quote: "The lighthouse of the Lord beckons to all as we sail the seas of life." --- Thomas S Monson

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for.

A few weeks into the new year, many organizations and companies are visiting their goals for the year. From team meetings to strategy sessions, team members are adding their piece to the overall goals for the year. Here at Points of Leadership, we are jetting into the year, unclogging and breaking down some of the growth points for this year. We kick-off the year with the first two points we shared in our closing episode last year.

In a recent Harvard Business Review article, we see how a leader can lead with authenticity during a time of chaos in a company or organization. The article asserts that sometimes it is the top leadership such as the CEO that causes most of the chaos in an organization or company. In that case, a leader on the team can lead with authenticity by being the source of clarity.  

In this 2026 kickoff episode, we provide three ways to provide clarity on your team. We also look to the oldest Book of life- the Bible; to glean insight on what chaos on a team, in an organization or company tells us. This is a great compass for Christian leaders in orienting their lives and leadership in alignment with orderliness.

Secondly, we examine how leaders can grow this year in the ethical use of technology. In an age of increasing deepfakes, leaders must know how to spot these fabricated artifacts that tend to look real. At this point AI is no longer science fiction, rather it has and continues to be an integral part of our everyday lives, whether we like it or not. We provide three ways for leaders to grow in their leadership of ethical use of technology. The most critical being the personal responsibility every leader has to ensure ethical approach to innovation and implementation.

As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life on these growth points for this year.

We appreciate your feedback. It helps us to continue to serve you with excellence. We look forward to growing with you this year in your leadership journey. Thank you for the privilege of serving you! We wish you and your team the best this year. a blessed 2026! Thank you for engaging with us and for being a growing leader!

“The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is to hand over your whole self- all your wishes and precautions to Christ!” --- C.S. Lewis

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for.

With just a few days left in this year, many organizations and companies have their plans laid out at least for the first quarter of 2026. Some of them even bring in outside consultants to help them develop their growth strategies for next year. Using smart goals and all that comes with it, organizations and companies have a nice package plan for their 2026 growth points. However, in a recent Havard Business Review article, these approaches in developing new year growth points might not be the best, especially for team members. This is because the people that implement and execute these nice, packaged growth points are not involved in the conception and development. That is typically not a great recipe for success.

In this episode, we provide some recommended growth points to consider with your teams, families or communities as you develop your growth points for 2026. These are some growth points our teams will be diving into. In alignment with the cited Havard Business Review, we emphasize the importance of providing clarity, transparency and courage as a starting point for your 2026 growth points.

As shared in our last episode, the best leaders know that it is what is routinely done and modeled that can be transferred to their teams. Additionally, the best leaders know it is critical to spend time with their teams to hear from each team member as they cast vision for the next year or quarter. In this last episode of the year, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck discuss and share their growth points for next year, which is a critical year for the USA- as we celebrate 250 years of exceptionalism as a nation.

From developing skills that are crucial for our time, to embracing ethical use of technology as we advance in AI, leaders are faced with new first world problems that need long term solutions. These solutions come as growth points, and take intentionality, design and application. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life on these growth points for 2026.

As we close out this year with this episode, be reminded that no matter who you are, you belong to God (spirit, soul and body)- whether you have acknowledged God or not, whether you love or hate God, whether you have your entire 2026 strategy plan or not, God holds in His hands everything that pertains to you. So, as you prepare to dash into a new year- dare not go alone and without Christ, including all your growth points of 2026. We have been blessed to serve you this year! Thank you for engaging with us and for being a growing leader! From our team here at Points of Leadership, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

“Real leadership is leaders recognizing that they serve the people that they lead.”    ---Pete Hoekstra​ 

Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for.
 
This time of year, most leaders across a variety of industries are not only reflecting on their team’s performance this year, but they are also casting vision and looking towards the next year. Here at Points of Leadership we are doing the same. We have dived into the great leadership lessons gleaned this year. And in our next episode we will dive into some of what we are excited about for 2026.

In this episode, we wrap up the leadership lessons from this year. What leaders routinely do and models can be transferred to their teams. Best leaders know it is critical to spend time with their teams to hear from each team member as they cast vision for the next year or quarter. In a recent Havard Business Review article, it asserts why it is important for leaders to reflect on leadership lessons. This is because leaders are under relentless pressure to perform in environments of increasing uncertainties and changes.

In this wrap up episode of leadership lessons of 2025, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck discuss and share a leader’s ability to know his or her own capacity, practicing high road leadership and embracing dissenting opinions. It takes great skill for a leader to seek out variety of opinions that will enrich his or her team for the best of everyone on the team or the entire organization.

Lastly, they discuss the importance of positivity and reconnection time to refuel, refresh and rejuvenate. The best leaders know that the “hero complex” can be dangerous and sometimes deadly on the human health. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.

                                         “The world is the true classroom” – Jack Hanna
Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for.
 
Every leader no matter what the industry at one point in time in their life has passed through a classroom. Whether that was in elementary, middle, secondary or university classroom, teaching and learning are woven into the fabric of our world. The best leaders see teaching and learning opportunities all around us with the world as their classrooms.
​
The Harvard Business Review in one of their past reports states that many leaders do not grow because they overlook one or more attribute that is foundational to a leader’s mindset. The report asks the question of why many companies are not getting more for their leadership programs. With the many programs we have, we need to see more effectiveness. Simply stated, to be a great leader requires the right mindset. 

In another Harvard Business Review article, it states that a mindset of learning from the world is a growth mindset. This means leaders can actively engage with real world issues and embrace all facets of any challenge as learning opportunities. In this reflective episode of Points of Leadership, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck discuss some of the leadership lessons they have learned this year. From vulnerability, cross functional leadership to rapid technological advancement, this is a great episode to help leaders reflect on their year. 

Lastly, they discuss the need for continuous learning, application and Dr. Feyi’s upcoming new book. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life. So, pull up a chair, call a friend and take a listen and share with any industry leader in your life.

​Quote: “Leadership is like exercise; do it every day”--- Simon Sinek
 
Points of Leadership is all about equipping leaders in maximizing their leadership for the people they lead and care for.

It is college football season here in the United States, and everyone is cheering on their favorite teams. The teams have spent countless hours training to ensure they are fit and ready when the season opens. Leadership is just like that- it takes consistent training and practice to ensure leadership fitness. From balance training to strength training, flexibility training and endurance training, each facet of fitness has its focus and benefit. So, it is for leadership fitness.
 
In a 2024 article by Harvard Business Impact, Belcher shares the importance of leadership fitness and how it empowers and equips leaders to see differently and hence lead differently. The article also highlights how leadership fitness ensures leaders thrive in life just like our favorite athletes on the field.
 
In this insightful episode of Points of Leadership, Dr. Feyi Obamehinti and Mrs. Kristin Jaeck explore and discuss the five ingredients necessary for leadership fitness. During their discussion, they explored the difference between strength and stamina, what an impactful mindset does for a leader, how leaders can harness and manage their energy and the great value of building the inner life.
 
Lastly, they discuss how to spot energy wasters and how to address them effectively. As always, the leadership principles we share on Points of Leadership are for any leader in any industry that desires to take care of those they lead well through the overflow of his or her life.
