Leadership, Accountability, and the Shift from Me to We w/ Kyle McDowell | EP 55

Episode notes

Welcome to the first Perpetual Growth Podcast episode of 2026! Most leadership failure is not a strategy problem. It’s an ego problem. Kyle McDowell breaks down the shift from “me” to “we” that transforms culture, accountability, and results. In this powerful conversation with Kyle McDowell, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, internationally recognized keynote speaker, and former Fortune 10 executive who led tens of thousands of employees across massive global organizations. Kyle has spent decades inside high-pressure, politically complex corporate environments. What emerged from that experience is a radically different leadership philosophy rooted in principle over ego, behavior over title, and people over performance theater. This episode goes far beyond surface-level leadership advice. Kyle opens up about the personal and professional wake-up calls that reshaped how he leads, lives, and measures success. From walking away from toxic environments to creating the now widely adopted “10 We’s” leadership framework, this conversation is about building cultures that actually last.
