Fred Miller and Judith Katz Featured on Pocket-Sized Pep Talks Podcast: “The Power of Agency—Putting a Leader in Every Seat”
We’re excited to share that Fred Miller and Judith Katz were recently featured on the Pocket-Sized Pep Talks podcast in an episode titled “The Power of Agency: Putting a Leader in Every Seat.”
Exploring What It Means to Put a Leader in Every Seat
In this engaging conversation, Fred and Judith join host Rob Jolles to explore what happens when organizations unleash the leadership potential of every person—not just those with titles. They share insights from their decades of partnership helping organizations move from compliance to commitment and from hierarchy to agency.
Together, they discuss:
What “agency” really means and how it differs from empowerment or delegation.
Why every person has the capacity to lead within their role and context.
The ten-step roadmap for cultivating agency across an organization.
Common challenges and practical steps leaders can take to create environments where people have autonomy, authority, and the confidence to act.
Agency is about choice, ownership, and impact
As Fred and Judith explain, agency is the ability to act with autonomy, authority, and accountability in service of the organization’s purpose. When individuals feel trusted to make decisions, speak up, and innovate, performance and engagement accelerate.
They remind listeners that agency isn’t granted—it’s unleashed. It thrives in organizations where people are safe enough to experiment, bold enough to question, and supported enough to act.
This episode reflects what we at KJCG see every day in our client partnerships: when organizations commit to Inclusion as the HOW—the way people work together to achieve results—they create the conditions for agency to flourish and for performance to soar.
