Tony draws a powerful connection between vibe and culture, explaining how great teams feel different because they are free from \u201cenergy drains\u201d like misalignment, drama, and unclear purpose. Tony shares his winding journey from teaching physics to leading a growing school, and eventually into executive coaching, revealing how moments of failure, tension, and unexpected endings shaped his philosophy on leadership.

Great hiring starts with clarity around role, outcomes, and core values. Leaders often sabotage interviews by falling in love too early.  &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Vibecast","author_url":"https:\/\/www.skutvikconsulting.com\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/39732730\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/197500770"}
