From a retired CEO of Tupperware to a start beer exec: May on 'From the Corner Office'

Good leadership requires collaboration, passion, authenticity and not always in that order. 

Those are some of the key insights and pieces of wisdom bits from the past month of "From the Corner Office" podcast episodes dropped by the Business Observer and sponsored by Synovus Bank. Highlights of the four May guests on the leadership podcast include:

Matthew Rolnick, senior vice president of partnerships and events for The Real American Beer, based in Tampa, talked about how leaders who can tell a clear, compelling story tend to move faster, align teams better and build trust before they ever make an ask.

Rick Howell, executive director of Samaritan Counseling Services, based in Sarasota, talked about why he believes passion is a No. 1 leadership attribute and how looking out for teammates and employees as a leader is never time wasted

Jessica Cain, general manager of the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, talked about how good leadership means creating an environment where people feel valued and authenticity matters, especially when your team is looking to you for direction.

Rick Goings, retired CEO of Tupperware and founder of The Rick Goings Institute for Management and Executive Leadership, talked about how strong leadership relies on collaboration and how his first job — being a caddie at a country club — impacted his life and leadership approach.
