Episode notes

Are great leaders born with natural abilities, or are they shaped by experience? In this episode of The Leadership Equation, Roger Francis sits down with Mike Safiedine, broker and owner of RE/MAX Connections, and Betty Carew, safety executive and author of Your Emergence from Leadership to Heartship, to explore what it really takes to become an effective leader. Through personal stories of career challenges, difficult decisions, and defining moments, Mike and Betty share how courage, self-awareness, relationships, and learning from mistakes have shaped their leadership journeys. Together, they discuss the importance of authenticity, developing others, and balancing performance with empathy. Because leadership isn't just about the results you achieve. It's about the people you help grow along the way.
