Why Great Leaders Take Responsibility With Guest Brad Henderson

In this conversation, Sherisse sits down with Brad Henderson to explore one of the great paradoxes of leadership: why the most powerful leaders are often the first to take responsibility when things go wrong. Brad unpacks how owning the blame — without shame, ego, or self-protection — can actually unlock higher trust, deeper accountability, and extraordinary team performance.<br data-text="true">Together, they talk about reframing failure, creating psychologically safe environments, and the courage it takes to say, “This is on me,” even when it isn’t entirely your fault.<br data-text="true">This episode is an invitation into a different kind of power — one rooted in humility, wholeness, and sacred leadership.<br data-text="true">Brad Henderson is a leadership coach and author of “The Consistency Effect: How to Turn Reliable Actions into Remarkable Success.” He believes that leadership is too important to be left to chance. Within every leader lies an extraordinary capacity for impact, often waiting for the right catalyst. Brad’s own early, isolated journey of leadership without guidance—and the profound awakening coaching brought him—has ignited his desire to be that catalyst.<br data-text="true">When leaders receive the mentorship they deserve, they create organizations that elevate people and unleash game-changing results that reshape companies and legacies. Drawing on his hard-won experience, he serves as a trusted, silent partner, providing the candid insights and unvarnished guidance leaders need to navigate their challenges and blind spots.<br data-text="true">His leadership journey spans over four decades as a CEO and senior executive across real estate, telecommunications, technology, and manufacturing including Sotheby's International Realty Canada, Dundee 360 Real Estate Development Corporation, CBRE, TELUS Communications, and Cushman & Wakefield. https://www.consistency-edge.com/<br data-text="true">https://www.pavitraleadership.com<br data-text="true">sherisse@pavitraleadership.com<br data-text="true">To get more of Sacred Leadership with Sherisse, be sure to visit the podcast page for replays of all her shows here: https://www.inspiredchoicesnetwork.com/podcast/sacred-leadership-with-sherisse/
