Transformational Leadership: From the Insight Out
Transformational Leadership: From the Insight Out is for leaders navigating the gap between where their organizations are and where they know they could be. Hosted by Steve Chua and Pete Cafarchio, the show explores the inner dynamics of leadership—and how they shape culture, performance, and sustainable growth. Each episode delivers practical insights leaders can apply to move beyond frustration, overwhelm, and stagnation, and build organizations that thrive from the inside out. Because lasting change doesn’t start with systems—it starts with leaders.

Communication: What Do They Need to Know?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Transformation Tip: “How well we communicate is not determined by how well we say things but how well we are understood.” – Andrew Grove, engineer, CEO
This week’s talent: Communication
Intrinsic needs:
- To process/think/learn “out loud”
- Frequent opportunities to speak and/or to write
- A collaborative sounding board(s), and objective feedback
Potential blindspots:
- Because you are naturally verbal and instinctively share your thoughts, you may not realize when you are monopolizing a discussion.
- Remember that your words are not always enough to motivate others.
- Be careful to not judge bad or even mediocre presentations
Transformation Application: If you’re going to give a presentation, your natural tendency will be to shoot from the hip, because you’re gifted. But, practice and prepare, and it will be that much more effective.
If you’re not a communicator but need to present, go talk to a communicator they’ll help you get it nice.
