Hi Leadership Community,

Episode 121 of the Leadership in Manufacturing Podcast is here — and it’s one of the most powerful episodes we’ve ever released.

In this special rerun, host Sannah Vinding revisits a standout conversation featuring insights from six respected industry voices: Don Akery, Walter Tobin, Maryellen Stack, Shane Zutz, Rob Brunson, and Tobi Cornell — all sharing their honest take on one deceptively simple question:

How do you know if you’re a good leader?

Through real stories and lived experience, each guest explores what leadership really looks like — from empowering teams and creating psychological safety to recognizing when to step back and let others lead.

🎯 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

✅ How great leaders measure success through team growth

✅ Why psychological safety and trust are non-negotiable

✅ What role authenticity and vulnerability play in strong leadership

✅ How listening and feedback create space for better decision-making

✅ What leadership looks like in action — not just in theory
