The Leadership
Breakfast Series

Twice a year — together with three other highly respected partners —Allen Austin convenes a select group of senior executives to hear from leaders who have built, transformed, and sustained high-performing organizations. These are not panel discussions or keynote presentations. They are candid conversations about what leadership actually requires.

Recordings and speaker slides are available for every session below. Attendance is by invitation. If you would like to be considered for a future event, we invite you to reach out.

Relational vs. Transactional Leadership: What Three Decades at the Top of Corporate America Taught Me

Drawing on a career that has taken her from the state insurance fund in Oklahoma to the boardrooms of some of America's most respected companies, Pattye Moore delivered a talk that was equal parts personal memoir, leadership framework, and organizational health manifesto. She introduced a simple but powerful distinction — transactional leaders optimize for results; relational leaders have learned that investing in people is how you actually get them — and illustrated it with stories that stayed with the room long after the morning was over.

"Organizational health is the ultimate competitive advantage."
