What does it really mean to lead with humanity in a world defined by rapid change?

In this inspiring episode, host Troy Geesaman sits down with Tara Marotti, President & CEO of Burke, Inc., for a candid conversation about the leadership philosophy shaping Burke’s next chapter.

Drawing on Troy’s Humanity-Centered Leadership framework—rooted in humility, compassion, grace, and hope—Tara reflects on her own people-first approach and how these often-overlooked virtues drive real accountability, trust, and organizational strength. From navigating fast-paced technological change to fostering meaningful relationships across teams, Tara shares stories that reveal how humanity becomes a strategic advantage.

Together, Tara and Troy explore:

• Why humility unlocks better decision-making and stronger teams
• How compassion paired with clarity sustains accountability
• The quiet power of grace—in conflict, in growth, and with ourselves
• Why hope is essential for energizing organizations and envisioning the future
• What humanity-centered leadership looks like in practice at an employee-owned company

Whether you’re a seasoned leader or an aspiring one, this episode invites you to rethink leadership not as a set of tactics, but as a way of showing up for others—and for yourself.

Discover how leading with humanity can transform cultures, strengthen results, and create workplaces where people truly thrive.
