Ty Bennett was just 21 years old when he and his brother started a business in direct sales, which they built to over $20 million in annual revenue while still in their twenties. Since then, he has developed leaders in 37 countries through keynote speeches and coaching programs focusing on sales and leadership.
As a young entrepreneur, Ty went on to found Leadership Inc., a speaking and training company with a mission to empower individuals and organizations to challenge their status quo, cultivate exceptional relationships, and compete in extraordinary ways. Through his best-selling book Partnership Is the New Leadership, he showcases his innate understanding of business leadership by stressing the importance of creating leaders – not followers.
Top Takeaways: Partnership is the New Leadership with Ty Bennett

- Relevant leadership – share successes to help others become successful
- What do you want on your team? Commitment was top response
- What drives commitment? People are not committed to jobs – people are committed to people
- The way leaders show up is the way their team shows up
- A partner-leader jumps in the trenches with the team – part of the team as opposed to command and control leadership of the past
- Obstacles that create failure within leadership
- Self- interest – Getting in our own way – a leader loses support and influence
- Apathy – leaders sometimes do not want to put in the work – requires continued learning and having a growth mindset
