How to Be a Better Leader | May, 5, 2026
Becoming a better leader is a skill, and like any skill, it can be learned and practiced.
Lacy Dicharry shares the model that explains where leaders grow, why so much training
never sticks, and what to do differently starting tomorrow.
In Episode 1 of Teams That Win, Lacy Dicharry, Senior Director of LSU's Leadership
Development Institute, walks through the 70-20-10 model with Juan Vélez Court: 10%
of leadership development happens in training, 20% in the coaching and application
that follows, and 70% in the hands-on work itself. She explains why so much training
never translates back to the job when that 20% is missing, and why becoming a better
leader is partly about learning new things and partly about unlearning old ones.
Learning to Admit You Don't Know It All | May 26, 2026
What if the best thing you could do as a leader is admit you don't have all the answers?
In this episode, Jerry Monier, Jr. Associate Director of Research & Development at NCBRT, joins us to talk about the buddy-to-boss transition and why it is one of the hardest shifts in any career. He explains the difference between capacity, the ability to absorb and respond, and capability, the ability to get things done, and why knowing which one your team needs changes how you lead them. He shares the standard he holds for his own network, where a strong leader should be able to answer almost any question within three phone calls. And he makes the case that admitting what you do not know is not a weakness. It is what makes the people around you stronger.
