mardi 2 juillet 2024 • Durée 41:33

S9-Ep19: Leadership Is Relationships

Saison 9 · Épisode 19

mercredi 3 mai 2023 • Durée 36:12

Guest: Kvon Tucker

If there’s one key thing that’s common to all effective leadership theories, it’s this: leadership is all about relationships. Kvon Tucker distilled this through both academic scholarship and real-world experience at Netflix, Google, and Amazon. Those companies remain high-performing outliers because of their unique leadership culture, and an emphasis on relationships (and writing!) are key. Losing sight of that leads to more than just sterile numbers on morale, low engagement, or layoffs. It leads to real pain for people, real depression, and – as Kvon saw – real suicide.

Kvon discusses all this, along with solutions for leaders who care, in this episode.

Here's what Kvon and host Maureen Metcalf cover:

How an old school practice – writing – leads to innovation and better odds of project success;
Why truly effective leaders understand the importance of relationships; and
The reasons that, even with all the trappings of success, your job can still leave you feeling miserable and depressed…and what to do about it.

S5-Ep36: Lasting Solutions for Distribution Center Labor Shortages

Saison 5 · Épisode 32

dimanche 30 avril 2023 • Durée 44:37

Guest: Will O’Brien & Dave DuBose

The labor shortage is not going away. Workers are more transient, looking for better pay, plus Amazon, Walmart, and other large online retailers are continuing to drive up competition for distribution center (DC) employees. So, most DC operators resort to wage increases and retention bonuses as the quick solution to this really challenging people problem. Will O'Brien and Dave DuBose joins the show to share the better answer, which is a set of more robust solutions that better serve the operators’ longer-term needs and mitigate their dependence on short-lived “quick fix” wage and bonus answers that everyone else is chasing.

Here's what Will, Dave, and Maureen cover:

Why pay is only the beginning in forming long-term solutions to supply-chain labor;
How Columbus, Ohio, represents the distribution issues retailers face; and
Why, regardless of the economy, the labor shortage is not going away.

S9-Ep18: Working Together: Leading a Hybrid AI-Human Workforce

Saison 9 · Épisode 18

mercredi 26 avril 2023 • Durée 50:51

Guest: Greg Moran

Odds are Artificial Intelligence isn’t going to replace you at work. It’s going to join you.

Greg Moran sees AI integrating much the same way breakthrough technologies always have. It will help us be more efficient, and help leaders make better decisions. Of course, it’s not all rasterized rainbows and Unix unicorns; to thrive, people will have to be able and willing to continually learn new skills and processes. In short, the obsessively curious will rise to the top. Greg shares the details in this episode.

Here's what Greg and host Maureen Metcalf cover:

How generative AI has already proven it can give you a competitive advantage by helping you make better, faster decisions on quality information, but…
…be careful! AI won’t make those decisions for you!
Why continually growing, learning, and adapting are top skills for career success (and coasting at work is no longer an option).

S9-Ep17: When Tragedy Informs Responsible Leadership: The C-Suite Journey of Pernod Ricard’s CEO

Saison 9 · Épisode 17

mercredi 19 avril 2023 • Durée 40:10

Guest: Ann Mukherjee

Ann Mukherjee’s life is one of complete inspiration, both personally and professionally. Her mother was killed by a drunk driver when Ann was just 14; as an adult, she endured alcohol related violence.

Yet today, she leads the second largest wine and spirits company in the world. Far from a contradiction, it’s a calling – one which sees not just customers and ROI, but caring and ROR (Return on Responsibility). The two are intertwined; even as Pernod Ricard promotes safe, responsible drinking, their profits have soared.

Here's what Ann and host Maureen Metcalf cover:

The changing role of leaders, especially CEOs;
How Ann sees her work at Pernod Ricard not as a job, but as a calling; and
The important role of mentors for career success.

S9-Ep16: Fringe or Mainstream? Leaders Explore Psychedelics

Saison 9 · Épisode 16

mercredi 12 avril 2023 • Durée 52:14

Guest: Paul Austin

You never know where the next big breakthrough in leadership research will come, so we’re going to sporadically feature outlier ideas, research from the fringe. Today is our first foray, as we investigate the role psychedelics can play in leadership development.

Struggling with the dichotomy of legality and morality, Paul Austin found himself on an unexpected journey of self-discovery – a journey that led him to establish Third Wave, a platform dedicated to using psychedelics to unlock leadership potential and transform paradigms. As Paul says to host Maureen Metcalf, “If I could focus my time and energy on one thing that would move the needle the most, it would be intentional psychedelic use by the leaders who are creating the paradigms of tomorrow."

Here's what Paul and Maureen cover:

How intentional microdoses of psychedelics can propel leadership development;
Why the proper setting and having an expert facilitator for guidance is absolutely critical; and
How CEOs and other leaders are already using psychedelics to help them problem-solve in today’s new normal of chaos and disruption.

Paul has also written a book on the healing and development use of psychedelics. Mastering Microdosing: How to Use Sub-Perceptual Psychedelics to Heal Trauma, Improve Performance, and Transform Your Life is available on Amazon (Kindle version).

The seminal books by other researchers Paul mentioned are James Fadiman’s The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide (Kindle: https://amzn.to/410wL3g) and Michael Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence (Kindle: https://amzn.to/3KRgSGU).

Guest: Dr. Ciela Hartanov

Change is accelerating. Volatility continues unabated. And no business is immune. What’s a leader to do?

Develop foresight and become future-ready, of course! Ciela Hartanov joins us in this episode to detail her practical process for developing foresight. As a futurist, she’s developed many tools for probing potential paths’ future outcomes. She’s distilled those tools into her foresight process.

Here's what Ciela and host Maureen Metcalf cover:

The definition of foresight, and what it means for businesses;
How future-ready capabilities increase profitability and growth potential; and
Questioning whether organizations really need a C.E.O. at the top.
