Balancing Performance and People with Jerry Colonna

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.

This week, I have the honor of welcoming back for the second time, Jerry Colonna to the show. He is a leading executive coach who uses the skills he learned as a venture capitalist to help entrepreneurs. He is co-founder and CEO of Reboot.io, the executive coaching and leadership development company, host of the Reboot podcast, and author of a new book called Reunion, which came out at the end of 2023 and also Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up. Previously, he was a partner with JPMorgan Partners (JPMP), the private equity arm of JP Morgan Chase. He joined JP Morgan from Flat Iron Partners, which he launched in 1996 with his partner Fred Wilson, and Flat Iron became one of the most successful early-stage investment programs in the New York City area.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… aspiring leaders seeking meaningful growth.

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… leadership is a lifelong practice. There is no playbook, but with self-inquiry and continuous personal growth, leaders can tap into their fullest potential over and over again. Jerry shares insights from his latest book on how leaders can look within to drive change beyond themselves.

Key takeaways:

• Successful leaders balance high performance with cultivating a supportive and inclusive culture.

• Leaders must learn to handle challenges and failures gracefully, using them as opportunities for growth and team development.

• Even without direct authority, individuals can lead and influence.

WHAT I LOVE MOST… the self-awareness of tuning into yourself while keeping an eye on the world at large. Jerry says this looks like asking yourself: how am I reacting? What am I doing? What am I bringing into this conversation?
