About Our Guest:
Brad Englert is an accomplished author, advisor, and former Chief Information Officer at the University of Texas at Austin. With over 40 years of leadership experience spanning Accenture and higher education, Brad specializes in guiding large-scale organizational transformation, strategic planning, and mission alignment. He is known for his expertise in building authentic business relationships and mentoring the next generation of leaders. Brad’s insights have been shaped by decades of hands-on experience leading high-impact teams and driving innovation in complex environments.
Reasons to Listen:
- Insider Lessons on Leading Change: Hear former University of Texas CIO Brad Englert’s first-hand stories about managing large-scale transformation and building authentic relationships in organizations as big as UT—offering strategies you won’t find in a textbook.
- Real-World Advice for Building Influential Relationships: Discover why “networking” isn’t enough, and get actionable tips on creating and nurturing meaningful, mutually beneficial business connections that can drive your career forward.
- Unfiltered Perspective on Leadership Across Generations: Gain rare insight into navigating generational differences, communicating through challenges, and how humility and faith quietly anchor Brad’s decades of leadership—from mid-level management all the way to the C-suite.
Episode Resources & Action Steps:
Resources Mentioned in This Episode:
- Spheres of Influence: How to Create and Nurture Authentic Business Relationships: Brad Englert’s book, featured prominently in the discussion, serves as a practical guide for leadership and relationship-building in complex environments. Available on Amazon and via Brad Englert’s website.
- Brad Englert’s Website - For a free sample of the book, more information, and to connect with Brad directly, visit: www.bradenglert.com/seekgocreate (customized link for Seek Go Create listeners).
- Workshops by Brad Englert - Brad offers workshops on leadership, influence, and relationship-building, which he mentions as an extension of his book and mentorship.
Action Steps for Listeners:
- Invest in Authentic Relationships, Not Just Networking - Prioritize building genuine, mutually beneficial relationships over transactional networking. Take time to understand people’s goals and find ways to support them.
- Get Out from Behind Your Screen - Practice “management by walking around”—engage with your team, customers, and partners in person or via real conversations, not just emails and digital communication.
- Set Clear Expectations and Communicate Openly - Whether you’re a leader or a team member, don’t assume others can read your mind. Use your words to clarify what you need, set deadlines, and manage expectations—especially during times of change.
By applying these resources and steps, you can begin to build stronger, more effective relationships and leadership presence in your professional life.
Key Lessons:
- Authentic Relationships Drive Success - Brad emphasizes that truly caring about people—whether they’re colleagues, direct reports, or clients—creates relationships that last for years and often become mutually beneficial. Authenticity, rather than transactional networking, leads to sustainable business growth and satisfaction.
- Communication Is a Leadership Duty - Clear, proactive communication—especially during challenging seasons—is crucial. Leaders shouldn’t assume people are mind readers. Setting and managing expectations, and being transparent about goals or setbacks, builds trust within teams and organizations.
- Strategic Relationship Building Is Essential - Brad advises being intentional and strategic about whom you build relationships with. Focus on boss, direct reports, and key stakeholders—don’t try to connect with everyone. Invest in the right relationships and consistently nurture them to achieve organizational goals.
- Humility and Apologies Strengthen Teams - Great leaders are humble, willing to admit mistakes, and quick to apologize. This humility builds a culture of trust and transparency, allowing organizations to learn from failures and move forward more effectively.
- Get Out and Show You Care - One of Brad’s most practical tips: get out from behind your desk or screen and spend time with your team, clients, and partners. Frequent, face-to-face connections (even informally) help leaders understand people’s aspirations, challenges, and wins—showing you truly care.
These lessons, rooted in Brad’s decades of leadership experience and highlighted in his book Spheres of Influence, offer actionable wisdom for leaders at any stage.
