What if you spend decades building a successful career—only to realize you were climbing the wrong ladder? In this episode of TCNtalks / Anatomy of Leadership, executive leadership coach Richard Mobley, Founder and Principal of the Seven Four Group, Inc. and the Be Far More! System, joins Chris Comeaux to explore one of the most important questions leaders face: What comes after success?

For CEOs, healthcare executives, and hospice leaders approaching retirement or transition, this conversation centers on the critical shift from achievement to lasting significance—and what it truly means to finish well.

Drawing from his corporate executive background and work with the John Maxwell Team, Richard shares hard-earned lessons about servant leadership, purpose, and finishing well.  He unpacks the three stages of life—survival, success, and significance—and explains why many high-achieving leaders struggle when identity is too closely tied to their title.


In Part One, you’ll learn:

  • Why success without clarity of calling can leave leaders unfulfilled
  • The difference between experience and “evaluated experience”
  • How perspective shapes wisdom and better decision-making
  • What it really means to move from success to significance

This episode is especially meaningful for healthcare and hospice leaders whose work is deeply tied to purpose.  If you’re asking “What’s next?” or rethinking your leadership legacy, this conversation will challenge you to realign your ladder with the right wall.

Part Two releases Friday.
