In this episode of Stratospheric Leaders, Georgie welcomes back one of the show’s most popular guests, Lance Uggla, for a deep dive into the leadership lessons behind the book Raise The Bar. Together, Georgie and Lance explore what leadership looks like in practice, moving beyond theory into the habits, behaviours and decisions that separate good leaders from great ones.
Drawing from decades of building and leading global businesses, Lance shares why work ethic, manners and awareness remain some of the most underrated advantages in modern leadership. He explains why being “above average” compounds over time, how strong relationships are built through genuine curiosity, and why awareness of the world around you remains a critical leadership skill even in the age of AI.
Georgie and Lance also discuss bold goals, intelligent risk-taking, intuition and how to create a culture when people believe they are part of something bigger than themselves. Throughout the conversation, Lance brings his high vibe energy, practicality and wisdom, offering lessons that apply whether you’re leading a global company, a growing team or simply trying to become a better leader yourself.
This is a masterclass in leadership fundamentals, delivered by someone who has spent a lifetime putting them into practice.
