Mainline Executive Coaching ACT

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!Let's ask the question that's been whispered in boardrooms and sidestepped in leadership circles: Why do so many executives avoid executive coaching?For some, it's the fear of vulnerability—admitting they don't have all the answers. For others, it's the misconception that coaching is only for struggling leaders, not top performers. And let's not forget the pressure to appear confident, competent, and in control. Afterall, you've made it to the corner office, so by default, you're already a master of the leadership craft. There's no need for a coach here.But here's the truth: even the world's greatest leaders—those who have built empires, transformed industries, and shaped the future—know that growth never stops. Coaching isn't about fixing flaws; it's about sharpening strengths. So why does resistance persist?Based on the book, "Accelerating Leadership," co-authored by Eric Hicks, PhD, PCC, and Lance Hazard, PCC, CPCC, we are discussing six specific values that executive coaching brings to leaders enhancing their success and abilities.Join Rich and Maikel as we explore the reasons why, as a leader, executive coaching should be a priority in your career on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT. Leaders, Lead Well!Thank you to all of our listeners in over 90 countries and now, 1,000 cities worldwide, we greatly appreciate your support!

Leaders, Lead Well!In a BANI World (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible), why is it critical to realize the human touch in leadership? The reason is that leadership isn't just about strategy and decision-making—it's about inspiring and uplifting others. Great leaders have always known that to unlock unlimited potential, you must engage the human touch.The human touch in leadership is vital because it builds trust, fosters meaningful connections, and inspires people to excel. By demonstrating empathy and authenticity, leaders gain credibility and create a positive workplace culture where individuals feel valued and motivated. This connection drives collaboration, innovation, and resilience, enabling teams to navigate challenges effectively and thrive in supportive environments. Ultimately, great leaders focus not only on strategies but also on uplifting and empowering those they lead.For more than two decades, Thomas Gelmi has been supporting leaders and their teams at different levels and in various industries in their development. As a professional executive coach, facilitator, and sparring partner, he does this in four languages (DE, EN, FR, IT) and across cultures, worldwide.Thomas joins Rich and Maikel to discuss the importance of the Human Touch in Leadership in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!Promoting poor leaders can devastate team productivity and morale, creating a cascade of issues within an organization. From a lack of clear direction and stalled decision-making to fractured collaboration and resource inefficiencies, weak leadership derails progress at every turn. Studies from McKinsey, Stanford, and others highlight the significant impact of ineffective leadership—ranging from wasted effort and missed deadlines to project failures and operational waste. Perhaps most damaging of all, poor leadership extinguishes motivation, leading to disengagement and stifled results. For businesses, the message is clear: strong leadership is not optional—it is the engine driving team performance and organizational success. Rich and Maikel continue to uncover the consequences of promoting poor leaders in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well! Promoting poor leaders can devastate employee morale, trust, and productivity. Incompetent leadership breeds uncertainty, frustration, and disengagement, with employees doubting decisions, feeling unrecognized, and burning out under chaotic management. Research highlights the stark toll of ineffective leadership on satisfaction and stress, eroding trust and fostering toxic cultures where collaboration dies and top talent leaves. While inspiring leaders uphold morale even under pressure, poor leaders break the very spirit of their teams, threatening both the workforce and the organization's success. Rich and Maikel discuss the impact on employee morale in part 2 of The Consequences of Promoting Poor Leaders on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!A few years back, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) were championed as the remedy for workplace inequities. It aimed to create a future where marginalized voices, justice-impacted individuals, and underrepresented communities could achieve equitable standing in a corporate world historically defined by systemic bias. It did not work that way, not even close.Mandatory diversity training became platforms for personal agendas, and terms like 'equity' became buzzwords used without clear definitions, which made them easy targets for criticism and left employees feeling confused or alienated rather than inspired. CEOs are now halting their DEI initiatives due to years of 'guilt hiring' individuals with civil rights backgrounds instead of those with corporate expertise. The once hottest position in America, Chief Diversity Officer, is now viewed as nothing more than a token position with no real power to make effective organizational change. In short, DEI turned into a barrage of unmet promises, poor communication, and the manipulative weaponization of what was intended to be a unifying concept. So why is DEI now DOA?Join Rich and Maikel as we tackle DEI on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!We tend to assume that leadership takes place under stable circumstances. Many of our theories of leadership conceptualize leadership under these “normal” and stable conditions. But what about situations where quick, effective decisions are critical? In times of crisis, effective leadership requires making tough decisions, communicating clearly and decisively, and inspiring confidence in others. This may involve thinking outside the box, taking risks, and being open to new ideas and perspectives.Leaders who are prepared to face potential crises possess qualities such as resilience, courage, the ability to think strategically under pressure, and emotional intelligence. Rich and Maikel discuss leading in a pinch in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!You're a mid-career professional. Maybe sporting a little more gray than you did just a few years ago. You may have just lost your job, or feel that ageism has crept into your office and you are getting lost because the system doesn't know how to value people approaching or after 50. Yourself included. The simple fact of the matter is that age-based discrimination is alive and well, the workforce is becoming increasingly multi-generational, and careers are becoming less linear and more portfolio-based. Worse yet, the hiring system is broken! So instead of trying to turn back the clock, or try to repeat the years,  you need to take back control over your career, define the value you deliver, and get your network to sell that for you.John Tarnoff is a career transition coach who helps people build more sustainable, meaningful, and purposeful careers that align with their values and their most prized talents.John joins Rich and Maikel as we discuss the importance of redefining age and careers on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.John can be reached at: https://johntarnoff.com/ Leaders, Lead Well!Thank you to all of our listeners in over 70 countries and 750 cities worldwide, we greatly appreciate your support!

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!In music, some of the most memorable performances aren't about the notes musicians play—they're about the ones they leave out. The spaces between the sounds create rhythm, swing, and connection. What if leadership worked the same way? Take Count Basie's band, for example. Basie was famous for his minimalist piano style—he played fewer notes, giving the rhythm section room to groove and the soloists space to shine. The result? Music that felt effortless and alive. Leaders, like musicians, often feel the pressure to “play every note”—to solve every problem, attend every meeting, or micromanage every decision. But just as music depends on collaboration, so does effective leadership. Leaving space allows team members to take ownership, contribute creatively, and create synergy.Rich and Maikel jam to the beat of less is more on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.  Leaders, Lead Well!Thank you to all of our listeners in over 70 countries and 750 cities worldwide, we greatly appreciate your support!

Leaders, Lead Well!Having women in leadership roles is essential for organizations and society, from driving innovation with diverse perspectives to fostering equity and inclusion, as well as serving as role models for future generations.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!Most leaders are stuck with the question, "How do you get people to act exactly as I want them to?"  Many of these same leaders define "successful" leadership as a tool for achieving efficiency and effectiveness, often focusing on narrow commercial outcomes. They tend to overlook the human qualities and dynamics of both leaders and those they lead. However, truly effective leaders understand that leadership is relationship-oriented, creative, and constructive and encourages the release of human possibilities - enabling others to break free of limits that are created organizationally or self-imposed.What we are referring to is Synchronicity in Leadership.Join Rich and Maikel as we dive deep into the topic of Synchronicity in Leadership in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!In today's fast-paced world, leaders can easily get caught up in advanced strategies and trending innovations. But what about the foundational skills that create a strong base for effective leadership? A leader with a solid grasp of a few core principles is far more impactful than someone with a broad yet shallow understanding of advanced tactics. The former is likely better equipped to diagnose issues and devise practical solutions. Furthermore, essential skills like effective communication, active listening, and accountability drive high-performing teams and create resilient organizations.Mastering the fundamentals fosters discipline—a crucial trait for success in almost any endeavor. Developing a respect for the basics is, in essence, creating a respect for discipline itself. Embracing the fundamentals teaches leaders the focus and persistence needed to achieve meaningful, lasting success.In this episode, Rich and Maikel dive into why mastering the fundamentals is crucial for long-term success in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!Hollywood is often portrayed as a world of glitz and glamour, home to the rich, famous, and beautiful, with their mansions and seemingly carefree lifestyles. It's seen as the place where dreams come true—especially if you're a young starlet or handsome actor with the right looks and talent to make it on the big screen. The media pushes the idea that we should aspire to be like them, but that's far from the truth! Cheating, lying, sex trafficking, murder, rape, abuse, ageism, prostitution, and the infamous casting couch are just a few of the scandals that have been and are currently changing the face of the entertainment industry. Yet, these "beautiful people" are still put on a pedestal as role models and leaders and are idolized by millions worldwide.WHY?So can anyone join their club? Furthermore, why would anyone want to?In this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT, Rich Baron, and Maikel Bailey discuss the dark side of idolization and leadership.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!During the early 1900s, the subjects taught in High School were much different than today. Greek, Latin, Math (without calculators), and Handwriting, just to name a few were expectations. If you didn't pass the required courses, you didn't graduate. Fast forward to today and we now offer remedial English and Math in college. Several other important lessons such as accountability, problem-solving, self-discipline, and simply showing up seem to be less important than making sure that everyone gets a blue ribbon, or a pass to the next level whether it is earned or not. After all, we don't want to leave anyone behind even if they failed to put in any effort at all. It just wouldn't be fair.So how does this impact today's leaders? Global statistics show that 75% of all leaders are failing. Other studies show that less than 10% of all leaders have the ability to lead effectively. Is there a correlation between failing leadership and the dumbing down of the education system?Rich and Maikel discuss why hard lessons are important in leadership development in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

So is tomorrow, and the next day, and so forth. Does that mean taking the garbage out every day? In a matter of speaking, yes! We are referring to the trash, noise, distractions, and non-value added stuff we collect daily in our heads. The more we collect, the less bandwidth we have. The less bandwidth we have, the more stressed we become. The more stressed we become, the less effective we are. The less effective we are, the more we negatively impact our teams.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!In the old west town of Bannack, Montana, during the 1860s, people decided to take back their town from the dishonest, stealing, and evil people that were there. The term 3-7-77 was painted on the doors of the bad folks which meant two things.First, it meant you have 3 hours, 7 minutes, and 77 seconds to get out of town or you faced the consequences of the second meaning of 3-7-77 which are 3 feet wide, 7 feet deep, and 77 inches long; the dimensions of a grave. The bad guys got the message pretty fast and left town even faster. However, and no surprise here, those who pushed their luck found out that the town folks were not kidding around when the time wound down.Fast forward to today and no matter where you look be it politics, organizations, social media, media outlets, or social media, we are surrounded by dishonesty. The constant barrage of lies, misinformation, and lack of accountability has led to a culture of destruction, theft, depression, and violence. The prevalence of dishonesty and its impact on society is mind numbing!The problem is that the lines have become so blurred, that it is difficult to tell when leaders are telling the truth and to what end are they being held accountable. Does this mean that all leaders are dishonest? Absolutely not! There are some great leaders in every walk of life that we must get behind and follow. However, it is critical to know who those great leaders are and which ones we need to watch out for.Rich and Maikel discuss the impact of dishonest leadership in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Leaders, Lead Well!Have you had a boss that seems to go over the top to gain your trust or confidence only to see that relationship evolve into something toxic?

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!Narcissistic bosses tend to have all-or-nothing thinking, so they may think that you are out to get them if you disagree or challenge them. Because they are very insecure, they see any behavior like that as a threat. They can start to create cliques and isolate and bully certain employees, even gaslighting them into believing false things. They may even increase the workload for those employees and force them to quit or want to leave.Having a narcissist as a boss is always a negative thing because of the psychological warfare they use to ensure their position at work and garner the admiration of those around them. So how do you deal with these toxic bosses?Rich and Maikel talk about dealing with narcissistic bosses on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Leaders, Lead Well!Versatility is the master capability for leading in a VUCA world — that is, one characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. We define versatility as the ability to read and respond to change with a wide repertoire of complementary skills and behaviors. However, versatility in leaders is rare.In a case study by Kasier Leadership Solutions, 24,000 leaders were assessed over six years using a 360-degree tool they designed. The outcome was that less than 10% of those leaders tested had the skills and capabilities to be effective leaders in a VUCA world. That means that more than 21,000 of those leaders were not prepared for the business challenges of today. However, the skills and talents to lead are not as mysterious as some would think they are.in our 300th episode, Rich and Maikel discuss those leadership styles that help leaders be capable of effective leadership in a VUCA world.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!In this part 2 we get into why it is critical to give a 100% effort at all times.  However, does this mean that each team member's 100% should be the same as everyone else? Or does that mean giving 100% effort based on your individual skills and talents and your place on the team? We also discuss why it is critical to understand the leader's style in your organization and how to complement that within the team. Join Rich and Maikel on this episode of the Art of Leading Teammates on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!Love or hate him, there is no denying that Tom Brady is one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. He holds several records as a quarterback but what about his ability to lead a team? So often we obsess about who is the “greatest of all time,” who is most responsible for a win, or what players or coaches a team might add next season to become even better. What can get lost in this way of thinking is that leaders don't accomplish anything by themselves. In fact, nothing of significance in life is achieved alone. In an article published in Harvard Business Review, Tom talks in-depth about the importance of being a team player.Rich and Maikel pass this topic around in this multi-part series on Tom Brady and the Art of Leading Teammates in this Mainline Executive Coaching ACT episode.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!We often discuss the benefits of great leadership in organizations. How great leaders impact great culture, employee retention, engagement, and success. But what about the true impact of poor leadership and what is the real cost? Studies show that the negative impact of poor leadership goes far beyond just a toxic culture or unengaged employees. The real cost can show up in unhappiness in life, not reaching full potential, poor health, and even death! Yes, studies show that executives are  "52% more likely to die earlier" due to stress. The bottom line is that the cost of poor leadership impacts far more than just the numbers. You may think you are above this; however, statistics show you are more likely to be one of those impacted. Rich and Maikel discuss why poor leadership costs far more than just the bottom line on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!There is a lot stigma still surrounding executive coaching. Almost like a topic discussed in the darkest corner out of earshot from everyone else. Places where you would hear, "Don't say anything but I think Bob is getting coaching," or "Can you hook me up with a good coach?" The genuine fear is that if your peers found out, you'd be thrown out of the good ole boys club for certain or branded mediocre at best. All of which is NONSENSE!The fact of the matter is leadership coaching has become critical in today's modern working world. Industries and technology are evolving fast, and it's important for companies to continue hiring and developing top talent to keep pace, not to mention retain that talent. Coaching has a proven track record for success with a measurable ROI.Alexandra Popkova, PCC, is a results-driven OD executive with +10 years of international experience.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!Unfortunately, global statistics show that most organizations don't have effective leaders. The truth is that the vast majority of people in "leadership positions" aren't trained to be leaders! Even those who may have pursued advanced business degrees are likely overwhelmed by theory, not practical advice and opportunities for application. Unfortunately, in many job settings, skilled individual contributors tend to be promoted into leadership positions, whether they have the requisite leadership skills or not. This all too common practice leads to a significant leadership skills gap in most organizations. The bottom line is that just because somebody is in a leadership position doesn't mean they have leadership skills. When leaders fall short everyone suffers. Or in other words, everything else sucks.Rich and Maikel dive into the deep end of poor leadership on this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!Effective leaders are frequently characterized as "passionate." They are deeply committed to their cause, their leadership style, and their positive influence on others. However, patience is not a trait commonly linked to business owners, executives, or managers. Despite this common perception, patience and passion share a surprising similarity. In fact, they are two sides of the same coin.Patience is more than just a virtue; it is an emotionally intelligent approach to leadership. Leaders who harness the power of patience are likelier to make well-considered decisions for the greater good, lead with integrity, and establish sustainable companies for long-term success. Rich and Maikel discuss how passion influences patience in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!The red lights are flashing on the business leadership dashboard. The reason? A notable drop in trust in leadership. Only 21% of employees strongly agree that they trust their organizations' leadership. Since the pandemic, there has been a downward slide in organizational trust. So why do 79% of all employees not trust their leaders? This raises serious concerns about morale in business and the overall sense of what the future holds. Rich and Maikel discuss how to regain trust in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!Effective leadership hinges on strong communication skills. Successful leaders must excel in communication, as it is essential for conveying tasks and inspiring and instilling confidence in their teams. This, in turn, drives the organization toward its goals. Key elements of effective communication include honesty, sincerity, transparency, trust, respect, support, appreciation, and energy. Above all, effective communication emphasizes collaboration ("we" rather than "I") and involves engaging "with" people rather than simply speaking "to" them.Rich and Maikel discuss 10 common phrases that confident leaders use effectively to communicate with those that they lead.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!Despite companies spending $15 billion annually on managerial and leadership development, bad bosses remain prevalent in the workforce. Staying in a bad work situation with a toxic boss may seem more secure than leaving, it comes with many risks. A study of 3,122 employees found that those who work for toxic bosses were 60% more likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke, or other life-threatening cardiac condition. Other studies in American workplaces show that people with toxic bosses are more susceptible to chronic stress, depression, and anxiety, all of which increase the risk of a lowered immune system, colds, strokes, and even heart attacks. In many instances, the results show that it may take up to 22 months to recover physically and emotionally from a toxic boss.  While the idea of quitting may be intimidating, staying in a job with a toxic boss can be even more frightening. Rich and Maikel discuss the issues surrounding quitting bad bosses in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.  Leaders, Lead Well!Thank you to all of our listeners in over 70 countries and 650 cities worldwide, we greatly appreciate your support!

Leaders, Lead Well!AI is now the fix for well, just about everything. Have a problem at work, AI has a solution. There are several things that AI can help improve; however, leadership is not one of them, especially when it comes to one-on-one communication with your employees. There are no shortcuts to great leadership and utilizing an app to streamline a performance management system or write and deliver an annual review is not a solution. It is only exacerbating an already existing problem in organizations today.Rich and Maikel discuss AI as a solution to poor leadership in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
