The inaugural episode of Leadership of the Leaf remains a timeless classic, prompting us to revisit its essence. Not only was it a nostalgic trip down memory lane, but it also exposed the need for an audio upgrade due to low sound quality. Fast forward to today, armed with new equipment and a stronger connection with our audience, the timing feels just right.
In this episode, we delve into the core of cigar aficionado wisdom, presenting five essential do's and five critical don'ts for cigar enthusiasts. The recanter of these insights opens the door for our hosts to share unique facets of their individual cigar journeys. Austin, sticking to his roots, opts for the classic Jacob’s Ladder by Southern Draw—a cigar that boasts a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers, delivering delightful notes of cedar, spice, and coffee. Meanwhile, Dice receives a fan-gifted La Imperiosa by Crown Heads, featuring an oily Ecuadoran Habano Oscuro wrapper and a blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers. This full-bodied cigar offers highlights of red pepper, fruit, earth, and leather.
Transitioning to the leadership segment of the podcast, reminiscent of our season one opener, we discuss the timeless principle of walking the walk and talking the talk. Leadership transcends titles; it requires an understanding of each subordinate's role. Gaining respect in a leadership role involves treasuring this aspect—how can one lead effectively without grasping the intricacies of their team's responsibilities?
As we kick off season three, we're eager for more engagement from our listeners. Have you ever encountered a leader oblivious to the tasks at hand? Share your experiences in the comments and let us know—we value your insights!
