Retail leaders talk about innovation, but are they solving the right problems? Too often, companies chase the latest trends—AI, automation, new products—without stepping back to ask: What actually drives transformation?

In this episode of Retail Leadership with Steve Worthy, we sit down with Matt Mueller, innovation strategist and author of The Mindful Innovator, to discuss his upcoming Campus Masterclass: Master the Future of Leadership – Strategies for Lasting Transformation.

We break down: 

• The biggest mistake retail leaders make when approaching innovation.
• Why most companies solve the wrong problem (and how to fix it).
• The “chicken cage” effect—why leaders resist change and how to guide them through transformation.
• The power of mindfulness in leadership and how it can sharpen decision-making.
• What attendees will gain from Matt’s exclusive Masterclass inside The Campus.

If you’re a senior retail leader looking to drive real, lasting change, this is an episode (and a Masterclass) you can’t afford to miss.
