Unlocking Why Nobody Trusts Leadership Anymore With Keith Wyche

Most leaders think results are the whole job. Keith Wyche spent 30 years learning why that belief quietly destroys teams, trust, and sometimes your own family.

In this episode of Unlocked, Keith, a former Walmart, IBM, and Pitney Bowes executive and author of the new book Uncommon Leadership, gets refreshingly honest about his early years as a "bull in the china shop" leader. The guy who locked the meeting room door at nine o'clock sharp. The dad who missed the father-daughter dance for a proposal deadline. And the wake-up call that changed how he leads.

We dig into why trust in leadership has collapsed across business, faith, and government, why integrity is actually measurable and not a soft skill, the real difference between a manager and a leader, and why athletes train 95% of the time while leaders barely train at all. Keith also shares the story of Lana Porter, the boss who chose to believe in him instead of firing him, and how that one decision shaped his entire career.
