Welcome to the Andy's Family Leadership Podcast, a conversation designed to help leaders

go further faster. On today's podcast, we'll conclude a two-part conversation on leading

and times of disruption. Andy, we kicked off this conversation last month as really the

as leaders is to take people on journeys to places they've never been before. And we have

certainly never been here before. The challenge, of course, is those of us who are in leadership,

we've never been here before either. But again, that's what makes leadership necessary.

We recently taught on leading through seasons of disruption. And you talked about three

essentials that should guide us as leaders. We looked at the first one last month and today,

we're going to dig into the last two. But before we do that, let's review for just a minute

the first essential. You said during disruption, your voice is more important than your words.
