Whiskey, Jazz &  LEADERSHIP

The Encore Of Leadership featuring Frank Clark III (Part 2)

This is part 2 of a 2 part conversation…  In part 2 of a two-part conversation on the Whiskey, Jazz, and Leadership podcast, host Galen Bingham continues with executive search entrepreneur Frank Clark, who explains that strong leaders capture hearts, minds, and imaginations, and that Encore Leadership Advisors stress-tests this “followership” through early interactions and back-channel references to avoid mismatched opportunities. Clark shares that what wasn’t “in the brochure” of his current role was hearing many more “no’s” in a competitive executive search market, which reinforced the need for relentlessness, immersion, and bringing value in every client interaction. The discussion connects entrepreneurship to John Coltrane’s journey, including being misunderstood and operating from a calling, not just a career. Clark also describes his “invisible board of directors”—Reginald Lewis, John H. Johnson, and Bob Johnson—highlighting preparation, work ethic, belief, strategy, and team-building, and closes with advice on core values, mastery, and service.
