894 Susan Drumm: The Leader’s Playlist

How to Build and Lead Teams Effectively

We all have a soundtrack running in the background of our minds as we travel along life’s highways, a sort of invisible GPS steering us and perhaps stalling us on our path to success. 

What if we could change that soundtrack with a “leader’s playlist” using music to help us change course and get out of any ruts or cul de sacs that slow or prevent our success as effective leaders?

If you are struggling to retain or engage your people, feeling burned out, struggling to delegate or trust your team to deliver, and you want to uplevel your leadership skills, today you’ll learn practical hacks to empower you as a leader so you can grow and scale your business.

Susan Drumm is a renowned leadership coach who works with billionaires, executive teams, and founders across startups, private equity firms and large corporations such as Oracle, Viacom, KPMG, A&E Networks, Genentech and others. Susan Drumm is the CEO and Founder of Meritage Leadership and host of the podcast The Enlightened Executive.

Today Susan opens up about her own journey using music to let go of limiting beliefs and stepping into her superpowers to succeed in business, and how her concept of a “leader’s playlist” can interrupt old patterns, create new neural pathways, and shift our state of being. She also shares other tools in her toolkit, including the Enneagram and how it helps executives get clarity on these questions and shift to a higher level of performance. She’ll share why this tool is far more powerful than traditional tools such as DISC and MBTI for leadership growth —and how it’s particularly impactful for you in unlocking team performance.
