Timeless Leadership

We've always been taught that power corrupts. But lots of people have power and aren't corrupt. What corrupts is pressure.When you're given responsibility for managing other people, often there aren't resources to help you manage yourself. And the pressure that any new or even seasoned manager can feel in their role can be crippling.Sabina Nawaz discovered this firsthand in her executive leadership role at Microsoft. She recounts a harrowing return from maternity leave that left her scrambling to prepare the CEO, and along the way, she found herself becoming a person she didn't recognize.In her new book You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need), Sabina shares an evidence-based framework for managing pressure and power with grace and intelligence, with actionable tips to help you succeed.You can find Timeless Leadership wherever you get podcasts.

During the pandemic, the way we work fundamentally changed. And yet, now we see many businesses trying to reclaim the world as we knew it before, demanding employees return to the office and attempting to put the genie back in the bottle.Rishad Tobaccowala knows better. Through his weekly thought letter The Future Does Not Fit In the Containers of the Past, he offers insights and advice on how to prepare yourself for a career that accounts for new relevance, shifts in thinking, and more independence.His new book Rethinking Work examines why we need to reassess what we know, the ways to reconsider how we work, and offers advice for leaders and companies on how to prepare for what's ahead.You can find Timeless Leadership wherever you get podcasts.Links* Rethinking Work: Seismic Changes in the Where, When, and Why (Buy on Amazon | Buy on Bookshop.org)* Rishad Tobaccowala (website)* Links referenced in our discussion:* The 3 Relevances: business models, structure and talent, leadership skills* The Four Shifts: Thriving in the Next Era: technology, power, mind, and boundary* The Age of Debossification: people are looking for leaders, not bosses* Curated entries from The Future Does Not Fit In the Containers of the Past Leave a rating for us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Goodpods or wherever you rate podcasts.MusicOur theme song is Timeless Harmony, written by Matías Léon and performed by Matías Léon and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

I tend to focus on other people in the interviews on Timeless Leadership. That's important! There are so many things to learn from other people. But I've realized that being a leader isn't only about lifting other people up, it's about being a teacher and sharing your own insights as well.So in this episode, you get a little bit more of me than I typically put out there, as I share an episode from the frankly… podcast from Franco. It's an important discussion that covers the background behind why I do what I do, and what I believe — including my advice to my 21-year-old self.I'd be interested to hear your feedback about it.You can find Timeless Leadership wherever you get podcasts.Links* frankly… podcast* Scott Monty's services* Gift subscription for Timeless & Timely* Academic discount to Timeless & TimelyLeave a rating for us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Goodpods or wherever you rate podcasts.MusicOur theme song is Timeless Harmony, written by Matías Léon and performed by Matías Léon and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

The second in command in any job gets neither the attention nor the respect that the chief does.By virtue of their timing, the founders and those who came first tend to command the spotlight.And yet, those who follow them do more than continue a legacy; they need to forge their own path and determine how to create something sustainable.Lindsay M.

Telling stories is a form of love.As Neal Foard shared in this episode, “It helps when a leader is able to communicate to the people that work for them, that they care about them. This is the power of stories. I don't have to literally say to you I care about you…because of the stories I choose to tell, I am the type of person that cares about the fate of others.”Neal ignites the storytelling ability in others with his course, Storyfire. But more than his course, Neal's take on storytelling and leadership is a way of life. It's a way of being.Come for the stories, stay for Neal's three simple rules for living (I won't spoil it for you in the notes here), and sign up to get bonus content with additional (and hilarious!) stories from Neal.Oh, and if you refer more people, you can get free access to our paid subscription tier:You can find Timeless Leadership wherever you get podcasts.Links* Neal's website* Storyfire* Lincoln (2012 film)* Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin* An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s by Doris Kearns Goodwin* Happiness and the Three Levels of Friendship (Timeless & Timely)Leave a rating for us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Goodpods or wherever you rate podcasts.MusicOur theme song is Timeless Harmony, written by Matías Léon and performed by Matías Léon and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Without curiosity and a desire for self-awareness, we stagnate.Being insatiable learners, leaders also become teachers of others, passing down the traits and skills to help the next generation of leaders achieve their potential.But it all starts with committing to learning more, every day. In this episode, we'll identify nine characteristics of lifelong learners, ask you questions about five facets of the agile learner, and leave you with four tips to help you on a journey of lifelong learning.This wraps up Season 4.

Leadership requires care. Care that extends to the people around you, for whom leaders are responsible. But also care for the practice of leadership itself.Ideas about this extend back to Plato, who engaged in many conversations about the responsibilities of leaders, the dangers of too much power, and considering the good of others.Princeton professor Melissa Lane, whose book Of Rule and Office: Plato's Ideas of the Political, joins us to explore the impact of Plato's ideas today, as we struggle with concepts of accountability and servant leadership.

This is the second in our four-part series on core leadership skills.In 1831 Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote “It is a luxury to be understood,” and it is still a luxury in the modern day. Perhaps even more so, given the number of modes of communication and fractured attention.Communication is at the very core of your leadership. Without it, you have nothing. Which is why working on your communication skills is so important.

Join us as we embark on a four-part series on core leadership skills.Inscribed on the Temple of Apollo in the 5th century B.C., the phrase “Know thyself” is considered a universal truth. So it's appropriate that the first leadership skill we're exploring is self-awareness.Too many leaders are tone-deaf or ego-driven to be self-aware. And yet, it's probably the single most important leadership skill, as it makes it possible for other skills to grow.Links* Related Timeless & Timely entries on the topic of reflection* Related Timeless & Timely entries on the topic of self-awareness* Episode 34: Take Charge of You with David NovakContactTo reach Scott to discuss a public speaking engagement or to talk about his executive coaching services, please get in touch here.

Or not see, as the case may be.Who we are is reflected in how we show up (or don't) and what we choose to say (or not).

Leaders, by their very nature, tend to see things differently than other people. One of the terms we're hearing more about, particularly in the workplace, is neurodiversity.And Peter Shankman is helping companies understand what that means and how they can benefit from it, through his speaking, his books Faster Than Normal and The Boy with the Faster Brain , and his podcast Faster Than Normal.He joins Timeless Leadership to share some of his observations about living with ADHD and how there's hope for everyone — particularly children — to live productively and unselfconsciously with this superpower.

It isn't often you'll see a marketer who champions journalism.Lou Paskalis is passionate concept of brand safety and suitability is now more necessary than ever, as brands need to protect themselves from adjacency to questionable content, platforms, and values — in all forms of media.One of the greatest concerns of every CEO is reputational risk and in order to guard against this, they need their marketing and communications teams working together.We touch on the third rail of ESG and DEI, as well as the waning industry of local journalism, discuss the roles that businesses might play for the sake of society, and talk about businesses' triple bottom line (return, retention, reputation).And we conclude with Lou's forecast for the future of the advertising industry: one that includes addressability, quality, and a technical revolution driven by AI.

If you were faced with the prospect of losing your business, losing friends, and being ostracized in your industry for simply doing what you thought was right, do you think you be able to do it?That's exactly the scenario that faced Rick Wilson, co-founder of The Lincoln Project and 30-year advertising veteran for Republican political candidates. When he chose to break from the party to stop Donald Trump, he lost nearly everything. He was humiliated and horrified, but he didn't trade his morals for money.Our discussion includes the origin story of The Lincoln Project and its methods, the impact of social media and tightly controlled vertical platforms on society, and Elon Musk's decimation of Twitter.It's all tied to human nature, integrity, and the courage to make hard choices when faced with moral quandaries.Becoming a subscriber isn't a moral quandary.

Kara Swisher is one of the top voices in the media today talking about technology and its impact on our lives.With two regular podcasts and now as a regular panelist on The Chris Wallace Show on CNN, Kara can always be counted on for her tough but fair questioning style, her no-nonsense approach, and her insistence that the human impact be considered along with every iteration of technology.In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about making noise versus change, finger-pointing versus solutions, AI, some not-so-great leaders and some leaders Kara admires, her role as a parent, and much more.This is a great time to show your support for the Timeless & Timely family of publications by joining us as a subscriber:SponsorsAugment is an online alternative MBA taught by the founders of Wikipedia, Shazam, Waze, YouTube and more.

When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1450, it ushered in a modern era. Or so we thought.It was embraced and fought, but the very notion that print was supposed to simplify knowledge was turned on its head: instead, print multiplied knowledge, and often in unexpected ways.Jeff Jarvis, in his latest book The Gutenberg Parenthesis: The Age of Print and Its Lessons for the Age of the Internet, helps us understand how we're now at the modern equivalent of 1450 and that we need to rethink how we communicate. It will require us to give up on traditional thinking and forge new paths into the future, particularly with the advent of AI.SponsorsAugment is an online alternative MBA taught by the founders of Wikipedia, Shazam, Waze, YouTube and more.

“It is very lonesome at the summit!”“Like a man's life, when he has climbed to eminence.” — Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1860Even when we reach the top, we're not alone. We always have others to call upon, even if they're not colleagues.Trusted advisors keep us focused, remind us of the importance of relationships, help us keep our egos in check, and help us become lifelong learners and servants. Some quotes from this episode that reflect the value of our advisors:“If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone. A man, Sir, should keep his friendship in constant repair.” — Samuel Johnson, 1755“Modesty is a virtue not often found among poets, for almost every one of them thinks himself the greatest in the world.” — Miguel de Cervantes, 1615“I had been so near obtaining what I so earnestly longed for—somebody to speak to, and to learn some knowledge from them.” — Daniel Defoe, 1719Links* Episode 53: The Cabinet with Lindsay Chervinsky* Did you get the bonus content from Episode 53?

It's tempting to think of the presidential cabinet as having always been in place. But, like the development of the U.S., government itself, it was gradual and it involved the initial leadership of George Washington.Dr. , Senior Fellow at the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University and author The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution, joins us to discuss this important step in the evolution of presidential leadership.In the discussion, we'll learn the reasons why Washington surrounded himself with people smarter than him, or at least those who complimented him. And how the inefficiency of Congress — something we painfully experience even today — was the impetus for the formation of the Executive branch.All of this points toward a very modern view of leadership, consensus building, and decision-making that impact leaders at every level.SponsorsAugment is an online alternative MBA taught by the founders of Wikipedia, Shazam, Waze, YouTube and more.

Thinking about the conversation with Laura Gassner Otting in Episode 49, I was struck by our human desire to put a definition on success, and oftentimes, never being satisfied.Kind of like how we constantly chase happiness, promising ourselves that “if only” we achieve a certain milestone, we'll be happy.It turns out, there's a different formula.Join me for this reflection.

Jim Edwards sent out an email years ago with 19 bits of advice for a colleague who was taking a leadership position. Little did he realize that the email would not only be a set of timeless principles for any manager, but that he would add more to it — including many true, harrowing, and funny anecdotes — enough to warrant an entire book. Jim joins Timeless Leadership to discuss many of these stories, as well as tactics and strategies to help you become a more effective leader, no matter what level of management you're in.

The world has changed. Unfortunately, leadership styles haven't changed with it. The old “Command & Control” leadership approach is no longer tenable in an era with a hybrid workforce. Stephen M.R. Covey, a noted authority on trust and inspiration, helps 21st century leaders grasp this new reality in his book Trust & Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others.
