Pete Behrens, the Founder and CEO of Agile Leadership Journey, an international speaker, and author of the book is “INTO THE FOG: Leadership Stories From the Edge of Uncertainty” joins Enterprise Radio.
This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Authors Channel.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Pete Behrens discuss the following:
- Many business owners feel pressure to project certainty even when they don’t have it. In your book Into the Fog, you argue that uncertainty isn’t a weakness but a leadership reality. How can business owners lead confidently without pretending they have all the answers?
- You describe “the Fog” as both external chaos and internal doubt. For founders and CEOs juggling growth, people issues, and constant change, what are the warning signs that internal fog (not market conditions) is holding them back?
- Several stories in the book show leadership emerging without titles or authority. What can business owners do to encourage this kind of leadership inside their companies especially in teams that are used to waiting for direction from the top?
- You challenge the idea that leadership is about control and decisiveness. In fast-moving businesses where speed matters, how can owners slow down just enough to make better decisions without losing momentum?
- If a business owner listening today feels stuck – working harder but making less progress – what’s one mindset shift or first step you recommend to help them move forward through uncertainty rather than trying to power through it?
Pete Behrens didn’t set out to become a leadership expert. His journey began as an engineer solving technical problems, but over three decades, he discovered that the most complex challenges aren’t technical—they’re human. As Founder and CEO of Agile Leadership Journey, international speaker, and host of the Relearning Leadership podcast, Pete’s willingness to share his own stumbles reminds us that great leaders aren’t born—they’re built through experience, reflection, and the courage to keep growing. His latest book is “INTO THE FOG: Leadership Stories From the Edge of Uncertainty“.
