The 4 Critical Skills That Took This CEO 35 Years to Finally Learn | Terry Dunn - E28

Dusty is joined by Terry Dunn—seasoned CEO and global business leader—for a conversation about trading the demands of the boardroom for the deeper purpose of helping leaders lead better. After 35 years building teams in more than 30 countries and steering companies through transformation and turnaround, Terry now dedicates his work to guiding executives toward clarity, composure, and results that last. He reflects on the formative lessons that shaped his calm, grounded approach to leadership—including learning to master anger as a teenager—and how that discipline evolved into his hallmark of leading with steadiness under pressure. Terry and Dusty unpack the four pillars of scalable leadership: vision, culture, delegation, and accountability, revealing how each one empowers people and eliminates the friction that holds organizations back. Along the way, they explore why trust is built through consistency, how great leaders make others successful, and what it takes to create self-accountable teams that drive lasting impact. This episode is a blueprint for leading with clarity, scaling with purpose, and becoming the kind of leader people choose to follow.
