What makes a great leader?

Not talent.

Not charisma.

Not position.

According to Mr. Black, great leaders are built on a triangle—and triangles are the strongest structures in creation. Remove one point and the structure weakens. Keep all three and it can withstand tremendous pressure.  

On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black builds on last week’s discussion of the power of triangles and introduces what he calls the Leadership Triangle:

• OMNI — Living with purpose on purpose
• SEMPER — Always flexible, always growing
• HINENI — All in, fully present

Together, these three words create a framework for transformational leadership.

You’ll discover why words matter more than most people realize, how identity shapes behavior, and why great leaders are intentional about what they think, say, and believe. Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, epigenetics, and leadership psychology, Mr. Black explores the connection between thoughts, beliefs, and outcomes.

This episode also unpacks:

• Why purpose gives meaning to both success and suffering
• The leadership principle of Requisite Variety—the most adaptable person has the most influence
• Why presence is becoming one of the rarest and most valuable leadership skills in today’s distracted world
• How words can reinforce identity, shape culture, and change lives

At its core, this episode is a challenge to become the kind of leader who:

• Sees purpose in everything
• Stays flexible in anything
• Shows up with everything

Because leadership isn’t just about what you do.

It’s about who you’re becoming.

You were created by an OMNITELIC God.

Designed to live a SEMPER life.

And called to walk with a HINENI heart.

This is the Triangle of a Great Leader.

Inspiration. Education. Application.

When you live your life like it matters… it does.
