Podcast
Best Places to Lead, the podcast Jerry Macnamara hosts.
I host Best Places to Lead. It’s my show, built on a simple idea: the companies people want to work for are the ones that outperform, and the leaders who run them have lessons worth hearing. I’ve sat in the CEO seat at five companies, so the questions are the ones I wanted answered when the payroll was on my desk. No scripts, no softballs.
Start with a question
Sixty-four episodes, sorted by the question a CEO would actually ask.
- How do I make decisions faster and get things done?
- How do I hire and keep the right people?
- How do I build a culture people want to work in?
- How do I communicate so people actually follow?
- How do I grow without breaking the company?
- How do I lead myself: mindset, resilience, focus?
Jerry as a guest
Hosting is one side of the microphone. I also sit on the other side when a host wants an operator’s answer instead of a theory. A few of the shows that have had me on:
- Leadership Is Changing, episode 398
- The First Customer
- Chief Executive Connector / B2B Community Builder Show, episode 03, “The Ultimate CEO”
- Think Business With Tyler
- Dr. Christopher Loo’s show

What does Jerry talk about?
What it’s really like to lead a company with the payroll on your desk. Accountability without policing, building a business that runs without the founder in the middle, influence that’s earned instead of claimed from the org chart, and the mistakes I made across five companies so your listeners can skip them. I’d rather confront the brutal reality than sell a nice story.
