Our guest today is Travis Davenport, founder of Wolf & Iron, a company that helps CEOs and entrepreneurs build thriving cultures and workplaces centered around personal values. Travis discusses the importance of belonging to a "wolf pack" community that inspires and challenges you, while also developing close "iron sharpens iron" relationships that push you to grow. He talks about the difference between "hard skills" and "human skills," arguing that human skills like coaching, mentoring, and inspiring employees are becoming increasingly critical for company culture and retention. Travis explains how the nature of work is evolving - younger generations don't want bosses that command them; they want leaders who empower them as partners in the company mission. With more options available thanks to the internet and remote work, employees are seeking meaning and purpose from their jobs, not just a paycheck. Companies that tap into this desire through strong human-centered leadership stand to gain dedicated, mission-driven team members.
