In this episode of the CyberPulse Podcast, host Justin ITee Walker sits down with Jim Carlough, a seasoned healthcare leader and author, to explore what truly makes an effective leader today. Jim shares his journey from traditional authoritarian management to a collaborative, people-centered leadership style, emphasizing his six pillars: integrity, compassion, empathy, focus, stability, and humor.

The conversation dives into practical strategies for developing leadership skills, the importance of mentorship, and the critical role leaders play in cybersecurity and organizational culture. Real-world anecdotes from healthcare and IT highlight why leadership is everyone’s responsibility-and how embracing these pillars can transform teams and entire organizations
