Podcast appearances and mentions of Steve Ballmer

What if your well-intentioned leadership style is holding your team back? Kevin sits down with Sabina Nawaz to discuss the illusion of "bad bosses," the myth of singular authenticity, and the impact of pressure on leadership behaviors. Sabina introduces the idea that it's pressure, not power, that corrupts and outlines the three primary pressure pitfalls leaders fall into: controlling, abdicating, and automating. They talk about why delegation often fails and how unexamined internal “hungers” sabotage our best efforts and intentions, as ell as how leaders can learn to shift their identity to better serve their teams.

There's SO much going on, but we have to start with THAT Mariners win! Wow, Brian Woo was outstanding and the bullpen followed suit as the Mariners win in extra innings. It was reminiscent of what we are used to from this staff and they came through. :30- It was a 2-1 win in 11 innings for the Mariners last night after an outstanding pitching performance and the offense coming through in the bottom of the 11th for the walk-off win. :45- The Paul Allen Estate announced that the Blazers are for sale and we discuss the impacts of that sale. Could NBA expansion be delayed? Could the Blazers be moved? While the Seahawks aren't for sale yet, they will be eventually and rumor has it that Steve Ballmer is making a play for the team.

Avui programa especial, ja que sempre diem que la tecnologia ens fa la vida més fàcil, doncs aquest dilluns em pogut comprovar que així es, un element de primera necessitat com es la electricitat, si ens quedem sense ella, doncs tot, o quasi tot es queda aturat i ens fa la vida impossible. Avui entrevista especial amb el Director de Check Poin Eusebio Nieva, una de les principals empreses de seguretat informàtica, amb ell volem parlar del vulnerables que som i que tenim de fer per estar mínimament preparats per una emergència d'aquestes. I en la tertulia tenim: - Kit de supervivència per si torna una apagada general - Whastapp estrena dues funcions de IA - Nova Ia de Alibaba - Que esta guanyant en les busquedes ChatGPT o Google - Meta treu la seva pròpia app de IA a part de les seves aplicacions - Spotify te previst pujar preus - Però primer un moment per l'efemèride que ens porta en David. Fins en quin any anem avui? 30 de abril de 2007 📅 Tal día como hoy, en 2007, Steve Ballmer, por entonces CEO de Microsoft, soltaba una frase que pasaría a la historia: “El iPhone no tiene oportunidad de dejar marca en el mercado de la telefonía móvil.”

0:00 - What a perfect day to have Jeff Legwold join us! The NFL Draft kicks off tonight. What does Leggy think of the rumors that the Broncos want to move up? What storylines are he following heading into the draft?20:20 - The Nuggets are on the road in LA tonight for Game 3 vs the Clippers. It's the first-ever playoff game in Steve Ballmer's fancy new arena. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory in that high-tech hostile environment?36:36 - Ball Arena popped off last night when Landy was introduced. The energy ratcheded up even more when Val scored. If the Avs got ONE more goal, that probably would've been enough. Ball Arena would be roofless. Doors blown off and everything. Avalanche fans are BEGGING for that moment. We need it desperately.

Plus, highlights from Microsoft’s 50th anniversary event in Redmond, which featured a rare joint appearance by Nadella with former leaders Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. The day also reflected Microsoft's role in an increasingly complex global landscape, with a CNBC interview focusing in part on the impact of tariffs on the company and the global economy, and a protest outside the event condemning the use of the company’s technologies to support Israel in the ongoing war in Gaza.

Can using AI in visual design ever be truly creative? This week's guest would go one step further and call AI the “future of creativity.”Mike Parkinson, Principal of 24 Hour Company and Owner of Billion Dollar Graphics, joins us for a special live show of The Visual Lounge, hosted at Training 2025, a conference and expo produced by Training Magazine.We chat about where AI can fit into visual design and content creation and why Mike calls it a “friction fixer” or a “smart start” rather than a replacement for creative talent. His take on AI is to view it like a “drunk intern” – something that could help you in the creative process but not something you'd want to hand full control to. For those who have struggled with AI prompts and results, Mike shares the three rules of using AI to get the most out of it. The running theme in this episode is that context is key and that always has to come from humans themselves. With context and the right approach, you can make AI a fundamental part of the creative process.

How do you know if you are a good boss? Whether you're in the C-Suite or middle management, you're probably not reaching your full potential, according to Sabina Nawaz, Fortune 500 coach and author of You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need). Unfortunately, it's often hard to recognize pitfalls as a boss or know how to address them. Luckily, Nawaz has some ideas. Pulling from over one thousand interviews at Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Motorola, Nordstrom, and the United Nations, Nawaz offers managers advice on how to succeed. Her proprietary data includes over two decades of coaching and in-depth research into the psychology of behavior and relationships. One key finding, she says, is that as our job expands, the added pressure to perform corrupts our actions, and our increased power blinds us to the impact of those actions. No one is immune to this. Even the most well-intentioned manager can quickly become the boss nobody wants to work for. Nawaz offers an in-depth framework for managing pressure and power with grace and intelligence. Knowing if you're a good boss doesn't need to be a mystery. To be a good one, Nawaz says, is to manage yourself and others, navigate working relationships, and communicate effectively. You'll know you're a good boss when you're doing these things, while also experiencing less stress and greater impact, becoming the boss everyone wants to work for.

For Sabina she tries to be the third, or later, to speak. Don't treat delegation like an on/off switch, but rather treat it like a dial which is calibrated to people's readiness and ability. Our behavior as leaders gets amplified on the way down, and peoples' responses get muted on the way up.

His remarkable story weaves through Seattle's tech boom, experiencing IPOs, acquisitions, and eventually receiving Steve Ballmer's marketing excellence award at Microsoft.The conversation reveals fascinating insights about the global marketing landscape, including the milestone that advertising spending surpassed $1 trillion in 2024. Bruno breaks down how major corporations allocate marketing budgets—typically 12% of revenue—dividing funds between media placement (60%), production (20%), and agency fees (20%). This expertise comes from years of working with Fortune 500 brands like Nestlé, American Express, and Toyota.Bruno shares thought-provoking perspectives on artificial intelligence in marketing, noting the tension between agencies eagerly adopting AI tools and more regulated client industries approaching them cautiously. His balanced view highlights AI's transformative potential for production costs while acknowledging the complex governance issues surrounding its implementation.The most compelling moments come when Bruno discusses his book "Success Freak: Kick Ass in Seven Days," challenging conventional definitions of success. Rather than focusing solely on wealth, fame, and power, he advocates for developing a personal definition as the essential first step toward fulfillment. This philosophy, combined with his emphasis on choosing willingness over aptitude when hiring, offers listeners actionable wisdom relevant to both entrepreneurs and corporate leaders.Ready to redefine your own success?

Guest: Bobby Kotick, former CEO of Activision Blizzard; and Bing Gordon, general partner at Kleiner PerkinsIn 2020, when President Trump signed the executive order that would ban TikTok in the U.S., Bobby Kotick called his old friend Steven Mnuchin. The former Secretary of the Treasury told him that, if TikTok's U.S. operations were to be sold to an American company, Microsoft would be the only bidder.A couple calls later, he reached ByteDance founder and CEO Zhang Yiming, who said he'd rather sell to Bobby than Microsoft. Concerned about his ability to get the deal done solo, Bobby called Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and offered to make a joint bid. Nadella declined, but added, “ if the deal doesn't get done, we should sit down and talk about us buying Activision.” TikTok currently remains Chinese-owned, but three years later, Microsoft paid $75 billion for Activision Blizzard.Chapters:Mentioned in this episode: Harvard-Westlake School, Alison Ressler, Vivendi, Berkshire Hathaway, Bruce Hack and Arnaud de Puyfontaine, John Riccitiello and EA, Call of Duty, Bizarre Creations, Atari, Apple II, Commodore 64, Jean-Louis Gassée, Apple Lisa, Howard Lincoln, Philips, Magnavox Odyssey, Sutter Hill Ventures, Infocom and Zork, Toys-R-Us, Howard Hughes, E.

People who work in hiring and deal with employment issues have reached out to Josh, telling him that the media is blowing it on what Trump has been doing. So today, Josh sets the record straight, explaining what has changed and what crucial rights against discrimination remain untouched. He also shares his own experience with a legal case that put him on the front page of the New York Times. Meanwhile, the media is missing a big related story: Trump's moves on gender put him up against his own Supreme Court pick -- someone he called the very best judge in the country. Josh explains. Plus, the Washington Post gets sneaky, using an article about a movie to lie and rewrite history about the Munich massacre.  Send in your thoughts, ideas, and questions!

The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com My books: Welcome to Management - https://amzn.to/3XWyZAH  The Pursuit of Excellence - https://amzn.to/4eX9vtP  The Score That Matters - https://amzn.to/3zPub7Z  Seth Godin is the author of 21 international bestsellers that have changed the way people think about work and art. They have been translated into 38 languages. His breakthrough books include Purple Cow, Tribes, The Dip, Linchpin, and his latest book is called This is Strategy. He writes one of the most popular daily blogs in the world and has given 5 TED talks. He is the founder of the altMBA, and the former VP of Direct Marketing at Yahoo! Notes: "If you want word of mouth, you have to create something remarkable, and that means it's worthy of remark." The elegant path is the most useful way forward. “My neighbor is a barefoot runner. He glides without apparent effort.” Elegance is simplicity, efficiency, and effectiveness. Dorothy and Her Crew. How did Dorothy persuade the Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow to join her on the trip to see the Wizard? Did she make a case about how much she missed home? No. She created the conditions where the others could get what they wanted by joining her. Seeing Strategy Clearly. Strategy is a flexible plan that guides us as we seek to create a change. It helps us make decisions over time while working within a system. Low-Hanging Fruit Isn't. It's all been picked. The easy, direct, obvious paths are unlikely to get you the results you're working so hard to obtain. In fact, these paths are probably a trap. Seth, at one point, got 800 rejection letters. Have to keep going... "I wouldn't call Steve Ballmer a good leader." An example of Seth making a difference... He went to Kenya and talked with 60 people who started a book club based on his book Linchpin. "They decided to be leaders." Make decisions in the moment: Examine the issue Get feedback Look for patterns "Taste is knowing what the market wants before it knows it." Rick Rubin Reality distortion field Johnny Cash "What do you think?" "Objections are your friends." What are the commonalities among leaders with whom Seth has worked and who have sustained excellence? They are all different, but the one thing they have in common is they all have chosen to be leaders. And that means that they are here to make a change happen. Management doesn't just exist. It was invented. When you race to the bottom, You see people as resources, not as people. Questions That Lead To Strategies. 84 questions. They'll force you to think through your strategy. By answering them, you'll be better prepared to make a difference… And make a ruckus. Some of them: Who is this project for? What is my timeline? What systems would need to change for my project to succeed? Where will I cause tension? What resistance should I anticipate? Where is the empathy? What asset would transform my project? What can I learn from comparable projects? Is the change I'm making contagious? Can I make it easier for others to decide? How can I design for network effects? What are common objections I expect to encounter?

Megyn Kelly begins the show by discussing the new lie being pushed this week by the corporate media and the left about Trump targeting "the enemy from within," their fear-mongering that he'll target Americans who don't vote for him, the Democrats in full desperation mode now, and more. Then Josh Hammer, host of "America on Trial," and Delano Squires, research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, join to discuss the corporate media and left attacking Trump in more exaggerated ways, their desperation as Kamala keeps losing ground in the election, Kamala's new effort to target black males, why the efforts aren't working and are ringing hollow, the feminine way Democrats talk to voters, Bill Clinton accidentally admitting Laken Riley's death could have been avoided if our border was tighter under the Biden-Harris administration, how his campaigning has backfired for the Democrats, and more. Then Steve Ballmer, founder of "USA Facts," joins to talk about how he keeps his fact-based site completely unbiased, why it's important to use fewer adjectives when displaying just the facts, the need for Americans to have access to facts without political bias, the facts about the national debt and economy, the epidemic of Fentanyl deaths in America, how the increase in accidental deaths is alarming, raising kids to stay humble, and more. Hammer- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/america-on-trial-with-josh-hammer/id1727785259Squires- https://www.heritage.org/staff/delano-squiresBallmer- https://usafacts.org/DonorsTrust: https://www.DonorsTrust.org/MKGround News: Use the link https://groundnews.com/megyn to get 40% off the Vantage subscription to see through mainstream media narratives.Tax Network USA: https://TNUSA.com/MEGYNMy Patriot Supply: https://PreparewithMegyn.comFollow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow
