I joined Coach Wayne to share my framework for Mastering Leadership at Scale Without Direct Authority—the reality of my complex roles at Google.
The core of our conversation was simple: If businesses fail, it’s usually from a lack of rhythm or clarity. I developed the 3S Pyramid (Standard of Consistency)—Standards, Structure, and Sharpening—to solve this and drive high performance, no matter the geography or hierarchy.
My experience, from building an agency program from the ground up in the Philippines at age 26, to managing global stakeholders today, taught me that true leadership starts with self-awareness.
We covered:
- Why fixing your Structure is often easier than fixing team mindsets.
- How to use the 3S framework to maintain integrity when leading without authority.
- Why I embrace AI (like Gemini) for efficiency but insist leaders must never outsource their strategic thinking or humanity.
My final advice: Everything begins with clarity in your own standards.
Listen to the episode to hear how my journey shaped the 3S framework and why human-centric leadership remains the key to future success.
Life is lived,
