In this episode of the Small Brave Moves podcast, we sit down with Phillip James, Vice President of WEG Transformers USA, who leads nearly 600 employees across three manufacturing sites. Phillip shares how his decades-long career in manufacturing has been shaped by small, brave moves, intentional leadership, and navigating some of the toughest challenges in business.

From leading through the 2008 recession to addressing difficult workplace behavior, Phillip offers candid insights into the moments that tested his courage and defined his leadership style. We explore the importance of transparency, setting team expectations, and fostering collaboration through the "How We Work" conversation.

Learn how Phillip approaches tough talks with clarity and respect, the leadership philosophies that have guided him through challenging decisions, and how small, intentional actions can transform teams and build trust. Whether you're leading through adversity or striving to align your team, this episode is packed with actionable wisdom and authentic leadership lessons.
