Futurist Susan Cannon and consultant Mike Morrow-Fox emphasize the need for modern leaders to develop higher-order skills to navigate the complexities and rapid changes happening now…and yet to come.

The evolution of leadership mindsets all these changes are creating.

S10-Ep30: An Oxford Ethicist Reveals How to Strengthen Your Workplace’s Moral Compass
Saison 10 · Épisode 30
mardi 3 septembre 2024 • Durée 31:16
Guest: David Rodin, Chair and Founder of Principia & Former Co-Director of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law, and Armed Conflict
Even the mightiest corporate juggernaut can crumble under an ethics scandal. But even minor ethics issues can taint your business – not just with PR, but in reduced employee morale, engagement, and more.
But ethics can be taught, forged, and grown throughout an organization. Guest David Rodin researches and teaches ethics for businesses and militaries, and he shares his wisdom and practical tips with host Maureen Metcalf.
Here's what David and Maureen cover:
The difference between ethics and customs (or corporate culture);
His three basic tests to determine ethical behavior; and
The lesson of the Strategic Corporal we all need to learn!
Other episodes to help you with ethical issues at work:
When an organization truly understands a problem and an innovative solution is implemented, people get behind it and true change happens. That’s the story of 412 Food Rescue.
Leah Lizarondo saw massive food insecurity, and food waste recovery was the solution. Moreover, she reimagined food recovery as an organization that solves multiple problems.
Leah joins host Maureen Metcalf to discuss food insecurity, entrepreneurism, and leading an NPO to such success.
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
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.

S9-Ep15: Disruption No More: DHL’s Supply Chain VP on Future-Proofing Your Business
Saison 9 · Épisode 15
mercredi 5 avril 2023 • Durée 39:57
Guest: Mike McLellan
Supply chain disruptions: they’ve been at the top of the list for leaders’ anxiety in nearly every sector for years. Will it ever get better?
Yes – if you’ve learned lessons from COVID and other supply chain disrupters. That’s the advice Mike McLellan has for leaders. A vice president of operations for DHL Supply Chain, Mike discusses the innovations DHL and others are implementing: from rapid responses to exoskeletons for warehouse workers. If your organization relies on supplies – and few organizations don’t – this is a must-listen episode!
Here's what Mike and host Maureen Metcalf cover:
How COVID-19 exposed weaknesses that had been brewing in the supply chain for years;
Why having a single-source supplier looks great on the balance sheet, but is quite costly in reality; and
The critical role of resilience for companies’ future survival.

jeudi 30 mars 2023 • Durée 55:50
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. That, in turn, helps leaders adapt their mindsets, enabling them to make their organizations future ready.
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.
