| S9-Ep19: Leadership Is Relationships | 03 May 2023 | 00:36:12 | |
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.

| S5-Ep36: Lasting Solutions for Distribution Center Labor Shortages | 30 Apr 2023 | 00:44:37 | |
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.

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."

Guest: Tara McGowan Misinformation and disinformation have become the lifeblood of social media – even some cable channels hungry for ratings. But, as a leader, you need hard facts and straight information.
How did we get here, and what can you do to find the good data your decisions need?

| S9-Ep12: Onboard with Care: Welcoming a New Leader | 18 Mar 2023 | 00:46:05 | |
Guests: Brenda Hampel & Erika Lamont More than 40% of new leaders fail within 18 months. Why?
Don’t blame the leader; look at the organization instead! Most organizations don’t onboard a new leader well, if at all. They assume a person’s success at one company will automatically transfer to theirs – but there are far too many variables at play to bank on that. Instead, an onboarding plan that goes beyond HR protocols and benefits sign-up is necessary: a plan that considers company culture, history, team dynamics...even quality of life differences if the new leader is coming from out of town!
Brenda Hampel and Erika Lamont of Connect the Dots share tips, tricks, and outright wisdom from years of experience helping organizations maximize the success of their new leaders.

| S9-Ep10: Groundbreaking Solutions in Healthcare from Mass General Brigham’s CEO | 07 Mar 2023 | 00:59:18 | |
Guest: Anne Klibanski Healthcare begins and ends in the home. At least, it should: you’re more likely to heal a bit faster and your outlook tends to be brighter at home instead of a hospital. Further, COVID revealed and amplified medical staff burnout and other issues already brewing in our healthcare system. It’s overwhelming for most healthcare leaders, but our guest – Dr. Anne Klibanski – tackles these issues head-on. The president and CEO of Mass General Brigham, she and her team created, and continue to develop, groundbreaking solutions for their hospitals...and, more importantly, their patients. In this episode, Anne shares those solutions and the challenges they present for leaders with host Maureen Metcalf.

| S9-Ep8: In Your Power | 22 Feb 2023 | 00:49:53 | |
Guest: Sharon Melnick Pushy. Manipulative. Lofty. We have a lot of negative views for powerful leaders – but that’s not what real power is about. When a leader is in their power, they raise everyone around them. It’s the difference between simply having power, and being IN your power. With her latest book, In Your Power, Sharon Melnick explores the ways women leaders, in particular, both grow and leak their power. She discusses those, as well as how turning down an invitation to the White House led to her epiphany about giving away your personal power, in this episode. Here's what Sharon and Maureen cover:

Leave us a review and rating! ----------------------- About Our Guest: Between ever changing work practices, and the elusive act of fulfilling personal and professional demands, leaders are having to navigate a new world of challenges and strike the right tone of balancing completion with compassion. Dr. Sharon Melnick introduces the idea that power is the underlying issue in many of the trends we see among employees, and that leaders who use their power for the good of all can create team members who are loyal, inspired, and accountable. What Dr. Melnick sees from having coached and trained over 40,000 professionals is that leaders already have so much more power than they realize or are using.
As a Marshall Goldsmith Top 100 Coach, Sharon combines proven leadership best practices with behavior change methods she developed through 10 years of psychology research at Harvard Medical School. Sharon has spoken at over 200 retreats and leadership conferences around the world (as well as presenting at the White House, the United Nations, and at West Point). She hosts the popular podcast, The Power Shift. | |||
| S9-Ep7: Epic! The Women’s Power Playbook | 15 Feb 2023 | 00:48:40 | |
Guest: Carolyn Buck Luce Live an epic life.
That’s the goal Carolyn Buck Luce advises you to have. In this episode, she shares ways to make that happen…and how that path started for her. Eight year old Carolyn Buck Luce was inspired by John F. Kennedy's call to service, and decided to take responsibility for answering it even though she was only in elementary school. She created her first Decade Game, a plan for the next ten years of her life. Despite the pre-internet turmoil of the 1960s, she was determined to follow her purpose and make a difference in the world. She used the Decade Game to understand the power of leadership and the importance of courage, vulnerability, and trust. And, critically, she observed that women give away much of their power – not just in the board room, but beginning as children in primary school.
That served to motivate her even more. Carolyn continues her mission, and still uses her Decade Game in her journey to becoming an organizational shaman inspiring humans to live epic lives. Here's what Carolyn and Maureen cover:

Guest: James Brenza By their very nature, emerging industries (such as EVs, private spaceships, and cannabis) present unique leadership challenges – and opportunities – rarely encountered in long-established businesses. In addition to general entrepreneurism, you’re creating something new for the marketplace…and forging the team to shepherd it.
Emerging industries often lend a new twist on old businesses: they allow the opportunity to relook at established practices, sparking innovation in the business sector. James Brenza joins the show to discuss his venture into an emerging industry -- and how that provided him with new challenges as well as the possibilities of new solutions. Here's what James and Maureen cover:

| S7-Ep43: Staying Cool in Challenging Situations (Recognizing & Managing Your Stress Triggers) | 21 Jan 2023 | 00:48:24 | |
Guest: Janet Fouts We recognize the many layers of stress we are under day-to-day. Those stresses are very real – and often increase as we move up the leadership ladder. That stress has consequences, both physical and mental. What can we do?
Janet Fouts has distilled some very simple tools that can help us be less reactive and more responsive to what life throws at us. They’re based on her deep dive into mindfulness as she dealt with the extreme stress of working as a full time digital marketer while caring for a dying partner. In the process, she learned that when we are aware of ourselves, we have better opportunities to understand others, making us better leaders, communicators, and partners.

| S7-Ep2: The Future Leader - Skills & Mindsets to Succeed in the Next Decade | 20 Jan 2023 | 00:42:54 | |
Guest: Jacob Morgan There has been a lot written about leadership for the present day, but the world is changing quickly. What worked in the past won’t work in the future – so how do we prepare leaders who can successfully navigate and guide us through the next decade and beyond? What’s required of leaders, even the types of leaders we need, is in flux. So what can a struggling leader do now? Jacob Morgan wondered, as well, so he interviewed over 140 CEOs, then partnered with LinkedIn to survey almost 14,000 of their members around the globe to see how those CEO insights aligned with employee perspectives. He uncovered some fascinating insights, and shares them in this episode. Here's what Jacob and Maureen cover:

| S9-Ep3: Courageous Followership | 18 Jan 2023 | 00:43:44 | |
Guests: Neil Grunberg & Ira Chaleff “He who cannot be a good follower, cannot be a good leader.”
Aristotle shared that wisdom over 2,000 years ago, but today we chafe at being labeled a follower. Yet, as Ira Chaleff and Neil Grunberg point out, if no one is following, then no one can be leading, either!
Followership is critical in any organization. Think of followership and leadership as a yin and yang: each of us needs to be good at both of them, and each of us needs to know when to play which role. It all depends on the context. Most critically, be a courageous follower: one with the values and integrity to let your leader know when things are amiss. Enron is a classic warning about what happens when an organization doesn’t have courageous followers! Here's what Ira, Neil, and Maureen cover:

| S8-Ep4: Building Communities within Your Business | 17 Jan 2023 | 00:55:55 | |
Guest: Alice Yoo LeClair Contrary to old-school management beliefs, having a work-best-friend boosts productivity. Having an entire work community? That boosts a lot of people’s productivity, morale, even longevity with the organization. Best of all, the communities you foster at work don’t need to be work-related to have these effects: gamers, Trekkies, and football fanatics in your workplace all benefit. So how does an HR leader drive community building within their organization? Does remote work make it more difficult? How does it fit with the CHRO’s other responsibilities? And how do you focus on this when managers so often dump their personnel responsibilities on the HR department instead of taking their own leadership reins? Alice Yoo LeClair knows the world of Human Resources well, with experience in organizations of all sizes. With her deep experience and eyes on the future, she shares her wisdom and observations with host Maureen Metcalf. This is the first of several episodes which view innovative leadership from the perspective of the CHRO and other human resources leaders: the Connex Executive Insights Series.

| S3-Ep46: Implicit Bias - What You Don’t See Hurts You! | 16 Jan 2023 | 00:41:00 | |
Guest: Rebecca Heiss From our archives, a special show about our hidden biases.
We all have bias. In various forms, it’s built into our brains. But implicit bias creates a disadvantage for leaders and their organizations. Dr. Rebecca Heiss has studied bias extensively, and shares what implicit bias is and how it impacts each of us. As leaders, we need to understand and manage implicit biases because they impact our hiring choices, promotion and succession decisions, company policies—even how closely we pay attention to someone in a presentation. To truly ensure we hire and retain top talent, we need to remove bias from our decision making process as much as possible. During this show, Rebecca shares her research…and what it reveals about the ways we can beat the bias in our business, and our lives. Here's what Rebecca and Maureen cover:

Guest: Michelle Sanchez-Bickley Amidst the Great Resignation, exceptional organizations are still retaining their top employees, and recruiting new staff. Renown Health is one of them.
In the second of our Connex Executive Insights series, Michelle Sanchez-Bickley of Renown Health joins Maureen Metcalf to discuss the challenges of the Great Resignation for HR departments. It’s particularly challenging in the health care sector; the strains of COVID on our medical system put particular pressure on doctors, nurses, and hospital support staff. That’s led to 30% or more turnover.
Using a combination of developing internal culture, open communications, hybrid and remote working, and a modern innovation on apprenticeship, Renown Health is a bright spot emerging above the crisis. Here's what Michelle and Maureen cover:

| S8-Ep10: ShEquity - A Refugee’s Path to Empowering Women & Their Businesses | 13 Jan 2023 | 00:50:58 | |
Guest: Pauline Koelbl
Surviving life as a refugee is one thing. To turn that life into a mission to empower other women is quite another.
That’s exactly what Pauline Koelbl did. Escaping the war in Rwanda, she found herself a homeless refugee. Eventually, Pauline found a home in Tucson, Arizona. More importantly, she found mentoring and support there – and now “pays it forward” as the founder and managing director of ShEquity, and investment firm providing capital and other resources to women-led and -owned businesses in Africa. Women are the key to unlocking economic success on the continent; they operate over 40% of small and medium sized enterprises. What’s more, they reinvest about 90% of their revenue in sectors and activities that benefit their families and communities – men only reinvest 40%. That’s one of many reasons the McKinsey Global Institute estimates the global GDP would increase by $28 trillion if we simply closed the business gender gap!
Pauline shares her compelling story of refugee-turned-entrepreneur focused on female empowerment with host Maureen Metcalf.

| S8-Ep11: Workforce Demographics & an Inclusive Culture | 10 Jan 2023 | 00:51:59 | |
Guests: Nadia Younes, Gamiel Yafai, & Louise Carvalho Slow as molasses. That’s one way to describe how leaders have responded to the rapidly changing workplace. The work environment was already changing before the COVID pandemic; now, there’s no going back to the old “industrial” model. It doesn’t meet rapidly evolving employee expectations nor the major shifts in workforce demographics. That, in turn, means the Great Resignation should have come as no surprise at all! The new, effective workplace models all embrace DEI: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Inclusive business cultures hold many advantages for staff, leaders, and profitability. From morale to a broader pool of leaders, the benefits are impactful. How does it work? Nadia Younes, Louise Carvalho, and Gamiel Yafai use CERN, Europe’s particle physics research center, as a launching point to explore inclusiveness with host Maureen Metcalf.

| S8-Ep12: Power, Charisma, Hormones: Science Studies Leadership | 09 Jan 2023 | 00:55:42 | |
Guest: John Antonakis Power does tend to corrupt. Especially the more testosterone is added to the mix. That’s just one finding that the scientific study of leadership has revealed. Yet, despite the legions of leadership consultants plying their theories, very little research in the field has been conducted with scientific rigor. Even science basics, such as control groups and identifying variables, are missing. That punches big holes in many leading leadership philosophies and best-selling books; they look at what top-performing companies have in common…but don’t check to see if the worst performing companies have those same things in common, too! Enter John Antonakis. A professor of organizational behavior, and the editor-in-chief of The Leadership Quarterly, John applies the scientific model to studies of leadership qualities, with a particular interest in charisma. He’ll talk about power, hormones, and his AI charismometer in this episode.

That concept is critical at Dawn Foods; their passion is their people, and their goal is to create a psychologically safe environment for people to bring their whole selves to work. In short, every Dawn employee can truly “be yourself.”
Making the workplace a safe space took a lot of effort, but Dawn succeeded.

Their I Am staff campaign and Women in Leadership program are just two successful facets of Dawn’s belief in people. Dawn’s Chief People Officer – Jason Lioy – joins host Maureen Metcalf to discuss the motivation and implementation of this unique and inspiring drive to help each person achieve their potential.

Guest: Kenny McDonald It takes a village to raise a city. That twists traditional wisdom, but it’s true: no one leader can improve an urban landscape alone. It takes a group of leaders in public and private partnership. When they’re united by one vision, their city can grow into a powerhouse. Kenny McDonald oversees that for Columbus, Ohio – a city that’s launched into a bold future…most recently, as the site for Intel’s newest, largest chip plant. As president of the Columbus Partnership, McDonald upholds and advances the shared vision of the city’s CEOs.

| S8-Ep38: The Power of Passion & Perseverance - Four Levels of Grit | 01 Jan 2023 | 00:55:39 | |
Guest: Jim Ritchie-Dunham There’s more to grit than determination – a whole lot more. Knowing that can help you harness this incredible power of passion and perseverance. Building on the work of Angela Duckworth and her seminal book, guest Jim Ritchie-Dunham shows how there are four levels of grit in an organization...an insight which dovetails neatly with his own work in ecosynomics. Leaders often unknowingly determine how it cascades through various parts of their business – but because they’re not aware of it, they may be reinforcing the wrong kind for a particular department, team, or employee. That results in inefficiencies, lower staff engagement, and the loss of talent. But all of that can be boosted when grit is recognized and deftly applied. Dig in to a deeper understanding of grit with Jim Ritchie-Dunham and host Maureen Metcalf! In this episode, you’ll learn:

| S8-Ep41: What Your Team REALLY Thinks...in Real Time! | 31 Dec 2022 | 00:59:27 | |
Guest: Greg Moran "Good afternoon, staff. I'm listening." If only your boss truly listened, like Frasier Crane! The reality is most folks high up the chain have little clue about what the front line -- and the customers the front line interacts with -- are thinking. As the staff at one major company said, "They're not even listening to us." The solution is easy. Slack, Teams, and other chat channels have replaced the watercooler as your company's own internal social media. Listening to those conversations reveals a wealth of information...and solutions to boost your team's and customers' experiences. As an example, guest Greg Moran discusses the basics of how Aware's AI system finds trending topics without intruding on privacy. In this episode, you’ll learn: 1. There's a big difference between monitoring employees and listening to them 2. How listening -- directly and via AI -- gives people a voice in the head office; a voice not filtered by management, and 3. How to maintain individuals' privacy while keeping a finger on the pulse of your team.

| S8-Ep52: Do No Harm: Ethics for Leaders | 21 Dec 2022 | 00:56:21 | |
Guest: Terri O'Fallon Few leaders set out to harm others – but it can happen despite our best intentions. The key is to look outward from our decisions to all the ripple effects they generate. And the best way to look outward is to look inward! It’s hardly a secret that our emotions affect our cognition. Our guest, Terri O’Fallon, founder of Stages International, reveals in this episode that identifying and naming our emotions helps us become better leaders, and increases our sense of well-being. With host Maureen Metcalf, Terri delves into the concept of 'developmental ethics' to challenge leaders to embrace their emotions, actively seek out potential harm, and practice adaptability for the greater good with generous spirit. Here's what Terri and Maureen cover:

| S8-Ep50: Encore Facing Uncertainty: It’s VUCA | 20 Dec 2022 | 00:55:53 | |
Featured Guest: Chris Nolan One look at the headlines on any given day makes it clear: the world is UNclear. How can an organization navigate through the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity to survive – much less succeed? By understanding VUCA, a concept developed by the Pentagon in 1987 to give our military an edge in chaos. Filmmaker Chris Nolan joins Maureen Metcalf to share how this military technique directly applies to businesses and non-profits – information drawn from his new documentary and book: It’s VUCA!.

| S7-Ep5: Democracy: Are We a Brittle Twig or Supple Bamboo? | 20 Dec 2022 | 00:44:16 | |
Featured Guest: Matt Qvortrup As a political scientist, Matt studies democracy – its evolution, and particularly how democracies decline. He shares his perspective on the rise of populism across the world, how that leads to un-democratic leaders, then answers the question, “Is American democracy a brittle twig or a supple bamboo?” He offers solutions, too; every strong democracy in history thrived on disparate points of view – and leaders who welcomed diverse opinions. | |||
