    Why Talent Isn’t Enough to Lead at the Highest Level | Randall Thames | S2 E7
    Feb 25 2026
    What actually separates leaders who rise from those who quietly stall out?In this episode of the Badass Leaders Podcast, Angela sits down with Randall Thames, CEO of Inspirit Institute and former Senior Partner at Korn Ferry, to unpack the hard truth most high performers miss: talent might open the door, but discipline, consistency, and self-awareness determine how far you actually go.Randall shares the pivotal childhood moment that reshaped his leadership identity, the internal “dragons” that keep even confident executives stuck, and why process is the armor leaders need when the pressure is highest. Drawing from decades advising CEOs and boards, he breaks down what really drives trust, how to use crisis as a growth catalyst, and why some of the smartest career moves look like steps backward in the moment.The conversation also tackles the uncomfortable gaps leaders often ignore across Randall’s six leadership pillars: field, family, faith, fitness, fun, and finance. Through real-world stories and practical frameworks, this episode challenges listeners to rethink how they define success and how they prepare for what’s next.Learn More About Randall Thames:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/randallthames/Website: https://inspiritinstitute.com/Book: https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Role-Superpower-Inevitable-Leadership-ebook/dp/B0FM8TRWZC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=343HNJ0CNOO16&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ORRLffI53jumL9Qx388ngQ.FQxbH5hUETAFEknJONcXREWoFQI-D8LOkqtevvK9BAI&dib_tag=se&keywords=Rise+to+The+Role+randall+thames&qid=1757946887&sprefix=rise+to+the+role+randall+tham%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-1Mentioned in this Episode: 6 Super Power Pillars: field, family, fun, fitness, faith, financeDr. Martin Luther King Jr. “What Is Your Life’s Blueprint?” speech: https://projects.seattletimes.com/mlk/words-blueprint.html Mel Robbins (5 Second Rule): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhW2xUEb-B-ZBONmUi1m7h10c4x_RVEeT Philadelphia (film reference during rapid fire): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107818/ Behind-the-ScenesProduced by: The AGN GroupHost: Angela Gill NelmsProducer: Katie HartTagline: Be Brave.
