VIDEO: Thermostats & Thermometers

VIDEO: Thermostats & Thermometers

February 17, 2026 Posted by John Barrett

Are you leading by reacting to your environment—or intentionally shaping it?

This video explores the powerful difference between thermometer and thermostat leadership. You’ll discover how some leaders simply reflect the energy around them, while others take ownership and set the tone. Learn how to lead with intention, influence culture, navigate tension, and move your team forward by becoming a thermostat leader instead of a passive observer.

If you’re ready to stop reacting and start leading with purpose, this message will challenge and equip you to raise the temperature of your leadership. Enjoy!
