Host Scott McInnes’ guest on this episode of Building Better Cultures exemplifies the passion she prescribes for strong leadership. Zana Goic Petricevic, founder and managing director of Bold Leadership Culture, brings a uniquely compelling brand of coaching and transformational approach to empowering workplace cultures. Her new book, “Bold Reinvented: Leading with Courage, Consciousness and Conviction,” lays out foundational steps that leaders can take to inspire the best in their teams.
Communication is key, and it starts with setting the right tone and vision. The strongest leaders, says Zana, are constantly learning. They’re able to hear all kinds of perspectives and embrace a broad spectrum of viewpoints. In other words, they are learners (the No. 1 trait Zana believes the strongest leaders share). There is an infectious energy communicated when corporate decision-makers are unafraid to do the digging, entertain the feedback and explore new, potentially better paths.
Zana shares with us a powerful model for corporate self-actualization with the acronym SOUL, Self, Other, Universe and Legacy. In this episode she spells out each of these four elements, providing personal examples and a challenge to leaders who are stuck in a “check-the-box” mentality. She wants all of us to ask – at work and in life – are we leaving it all on the field? Are we approaching the world from a place of fear or love? Passion is contagious and the visionaries who bring it transfuse everything and everyone around them.
Zana gives a shout-out to a book that has informed her thinking. Click here to learn more about “Radical Wholeness: The Embodied Present and the Ordinary Grace of Being,” by Philip Shepherd.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Zana’s #1 Leadership Gamechanger: Ask yourself whether you’re playing to win, or playing not to lose. These are two drastically different approaches that determine whether you’re doing things from a place of fear or a place of love. Are you staying silent and safe or speaking up? Are you taking risks to create what’s missing or are you hanging back?
