<p>In this episode, Joe Sanok speaks with NYT bestselling author Lawrence Armstrong about Layered Leadership and the role of creativity in effective leadership. Lawrence shares how drawing inspiration from the world around you, staying curious, and thinking in “synthesized layers” can lead to innovative strategies and solutions.</p> <p>He introduces the concept of “whole-brain thinking,” encouraging leaders to strengthen not only their natural abilities but also areas where they’re less skilled—engaging in continuous learning to become more adaptable. Lawrence stresses the importance of creating collaborative environments where ideas can be freely shared, built upon, and refined, and advises hiring people with expertise beyond your own to strengthen the team’s collective problem-solving power.</p> <p>For private practitioners and business owners, his key message is simple: you’re already a leader—so keep learning, embrace creativity, and apply whole-brain thinking to drive growth and inspire others.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://practiceofthepractice.com/layered-leadership-how-to-lead-creatively-with-nyt-bestselling-author-lawrence-armstrong-pop-1246/">Layered Leadership: How to lead Creatively with NYT Bestselling Author Lawrence Armstrong | POP 1246</a> appeared first on <a href="https://practiceofthepractice.com">How to Start, Grow, and Scale a Private Practice | Practice of the Practice</a>.</p>

<p>In this episode, Joe Sanok interviews Kevin Evers, senior editor at Harvard Business Review and author of There’s Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift. Evers unpacks how Swift’s career offers lessons for therapists—chief among them the value of having a clear vision, maintaining consistency, building trust, and staying fan-focused. Drawing from her early decision to leave a major record label that didn’t share her vision, to her bold switch from country to pop at the height of her success, Swift’s story illustrates the power of strategic risk-taking. Evers encourages private practitioners to apply these principles in their own work: stay aligned with your mission, know your audience, adapt when the time is right, and above all—keep going.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://practiceofthepractice.com/the-strategic-genius-of-taylor-swift-with-hbr-senior-editor-kevin-evers-pop-1245/">The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift with HBR Senior Editor Kevin Evers | POP 1245</a> appeared first on <a href="https://practiceofthepractice.com">How to Start, Grow, and Scale a Private Practice | Practice of the Practice</a>.</p>
