The Leadership Edge

Joe Glaser: A Leader Committed to Excellence, Growth, and Radical Candor

With over 26 years of leadership experience in the retail industry, I’ve dedicated my career to building high-performing teams, fostering a culture of accountability, and driving results through clarity, trust, and radical candor. I believe leadership isn’t about authority—it’s about influence, empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

My leadership philosophy is simple: people come first. When you invest in your team, cultivate honest conversations, and set high expectations, success follows. I thrive in dynamic environments where challenges become opportunities and where pushing boundaries leads to innovation and progress.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of guiding teams through industry shifts, market disruptions, and organizational transformations. My approach? Lead with integrity, communicate with transparency, and never shy away from the tough conversations that create real change.

Now, as I launch my blog and podcast focused on leadership in today’s evolving business landscape, I’m eager to share my experiences, learn from others, and inspire the next generation of leaders. Leadership isn’t just a title—it’s a responsibility. And I’m here to embrace it every step of the way.

Let’s lead boldly. Let’s lead with purpose.
