Bill Canady on KFGO: Leadership, Resilience, and Growth

October 5, 2025

I was recently featured in an interview on KFGO, where I shared my philosophies on leadership, resilience, and driving transformational growth. It was a great conversation that dove deep into the core principles I’ve used throughout my career to help businesses achieve meaningful progress and sustained success.During the interview, I discussed:

The Power of the 80/20 Rule — how focusing on the right 20% of efforts generates 80% of results in both business and life.
Actionable Strategies — practical, real-world approaches to transform your business and leadership style.
Transparency and Trust — why these two elements are non-negotiable for effective leadership.
Resilience in the Face of Failure — how to recover when you’ve been knocked down, and why failure is one of the best teachers.
My Five Core Principles of Leadership — and how anyone can apply them to their own journey.

I also spoke about my book, The 80/20 CEO, which serves as a roadmap for leaders who want to take command of their business in just 100 days.The lessons and principles we covered aren’t limited to business—they apply to anyone striving for growth in their career, relationships, or personal life.You can read the full article and listen to the interview here: Bill Canady on Leadership, Resilience, and Driving Transformational Growth
