Four Stages of Leadership - Part 2: Stage 4 and the Stages' Importance

The Twenty One Clear Podcast · Jul 30, 2026 · 32m · transcript

Part two of Adam's conversation with Norm Smallwood, co-founder of The RBL Group, picking up where Episode 12 left off. Norm and Adam move into stage four, otherwise known as "power", of Norm's four-stage leadership model. They then work through what it costs a family business when people are operating below the stage their role requires, why self-diagnosis of your own stage almost never works, and what it looks like to build a great career and a great company without ever needing to become stage four yourself.
