The Vanguard Network Featured on The Daily Helping Podcast

The Vanguard Network is pleased to announce that its founder and CEO, Ken Banta, was featured on The Daily Helping podcast with Dr. Shuster in the episode titled “Leadership Is for Everyone. We All Have a Role to Play.”

In the 29-minute conversation, Banta shares his journey—from reporting pivotal global events to advising executive teams—and his conviction that leadership is not reserved for a few at the top but belongs to all.

Drawing on experiences chronicled in his book Seeing Around Corners, he offers listeners:

• A fresh view of leadership that includes people at every level

• Practical ways individuals can exercise influence even without authority

• Insights on purpose, adaptability, and consistency as the core behaviors of effective leaders

“Leadership isn’t a title. It’s a practice that each of us can engage in, every day,” says Banta in the episode.

This feature underscores The Vanguard Network’s commitment to expanding the narrative of leadership beyond the C-suite—to include those who lead sideways, lead upward, and lead in their spheres of influence.
