This week on If/Then, we're sharing an episode of The Future of Everything, a podcast hosted by Stanford School of Engineering professor and friend of the show Russ Altman.Everyone has goals — some are monumental, others modest — but every goal matters. Szu-chi Huang, an associate professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is an expert on sustaining enthusiasm for individuals, customers, and employees across global corporations and organizations.On this episode, Huang shares what it takes to stay motivated over time — not just at the beginning of a goal, when energy runs high, or at the end, when the finish line is in sight, but through the toughest part: the middle. She explains why motivation is a dynamic process that requires different tools at different stages, and offers practical advice drawn from her research on everything from retirement savings and loyalty programs to children's health and social apps. Along the way, she and Altman explore how purpose, progress, and even a little social pressure can help us keep going — and how AI might someday coach us through.More Resources: Szu-chi Huang, faculty profile & If/Then episode Russ Altman, faculty profile The Future of EverythingIf/Then is a podcast from Stanford Graduate School of Business that examines research findings that can help us navigate the complex issues we face in business, leadership, and society.Chapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionRuss Altman introduces Szu-Chi Huang, professor of marketing at Stanford GSB.(00:03:31) Studying MotivationSzu-chi shares what led her to study motivational science(00:04:03) Defining MotivationMotivation as the drive to close the gap between current and ideal self.(00:04:57) The Science of MotivationStudying motivation through behavioral and neurological data.(00:05:48) Why It Matters in BusinessHow motivation science applies to leaders, teams, and customers.(00:06:39) Motivation FrameworkThe strategies needed in order to stay motivated over time.(00:07:42) The Mindset of MotivationThe different mindsets needed throughout the stages of motivation.(00:09:21) Motivating Kids to Choose HealthyA Collaboration with UNICEF to study what motivates children.(00:10:55) Gamified Coupons in PanamaA study using gamified coupons to influence children's food choices.(00:14:26) Loyalty Programs as MotivationHow customer reward programs act as structured goal journeys.(00:16:47) Progress Versus PurposeThe different incentives needed in each stage of loyalty programs.(00:18:29) Retirement Saving LessonsHow financial institutions apply motivational science to long-term goals.(00:21:12) Motivation in Social ContextThe role of social connections in goal pursuit and sustaining motivation.(00:26:10) Designing Apps for MotivationHow redesigning user interfaces can help users stay motivated.(00:27:20) AI as a Motivation CoachUsing AI to personalize feedback across all stages of goal pursuit.(00:30:09) Starting and Sustaining a GoalPractical strategies for launching and sustaining a goal.(00:31:57) ConclusionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Introduction: What does culture really mean beyond the buzzwords and ping pong tables? In this episode, we explore the real foundations of engaged teams with Shannon Nutter, former C-suite leader who led global operations. We'll uncover why 79% of employees are disengaged and what leaders can do to create environments where people actually want to contribute their best work. Summary: Shannon breaks down the difference between surface-level culture initiatives and the deep work of creating psychological safety. She shares practical insights on balancing efficiency with effectiveness, the power of clarity in leadership, and why treating symptoms instead of root causes keeps teams stuck in endless cycles of firefighting. Highlights: Why engagement scores are at a devastating 21% despite all the "collegial culture" talk The T-bar concept: balancing human needs with business results How to create psychological safety where teams can fail, debate, and challenge ideas The difference between compliance (capturing minds) and commitment (capturing hearts) Real examples of when technology should step back and humans should step forward Key Takeaways: Culture isn't benefits or perks - it's how work gets done AND how it makes people feel Leaders must create focus, alignment, clarity, accountability, and psychological safety Ask yourself: "When was the last time someone disagreed with me publicly?" Efficiency without effectiveness is just busy work that doesn't solve real problems Next Steps: Evaluate your team's psychological safety by tracking when people last disagreed with you Review your current processes - are you solving problems or just making things faster? Schedule one-on-ones focused on understanding what motivates each team member Connect with Shannon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannon-nutter/

Guest “Brave Leadership” founder Kimberly Davis champions emerging leaders and senior managers navigating today's workplace and partners with HR professionals looking to develop talent. She shares her inspirational message of personal power, responsibility, and impact with organizations nationwide and teaches leadership programs worldwide. Kimberly is a TEDx speaker whose 2018 book, Brave Leadership, was named one of Inc. Magazine's most impactful books, became an Amazon bestseller in the Business Leadership and Motivation category, and received the Benjamin Franklin Silver Award. She lives in San Diego, CA, with her husband, Tim, and cat, Sulley Magee, while their son, Jeremy, is living his brave in college. Summary Kimberly asserts that effective business leadership is inextricably linked to strong personal leadership, emphasizing that individuals must first believe they are leaders. She emphasizes the crucial importance of understanding one's impact on others and being intentional in interactions. A key tool she introduces is the "super objective," which, in part, emerged from her training in the theater. The super objective helps leaders clarify the desired outcome—what they want others to do, think, feel, say, or believe. By applying these techniques, individuals can develop self-belief, cultivate the potential for authentic leadership, and consciously shape their influence, ultimately transforming their impact on both their professional and personal worlds. Three Important Takeaways Personal Leadership is Foundational: True leadership begins with self-awareness and self-belief; without personal leadership, effective business leadership is unattainable. Intentional Impact: Leaders must be acutely aware of the impact they have on others through their energy and actions, and should define a "super objective" to intentionally guide their desired influence. Unconventional Development: Leveraging techniques from outside the traditional business environment, such as theater's "super objective," provides powerful, unique tools for cultivating self-belief and the potential for authentic leadership.

Great leadership isn't always comfortable – sometimes, it hurts. Not physically, but emotionally. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan speaks about a side of leadership that is rarely talked about – yet many leaders know it well: making decisions that disappoint, speaking truths others avoid, and standing firm when it's unpopular. You'll learn why uncomfortable decisions are often a sign of strong leadership, how to give difficult feedback in a way that truly helps, and why it's essential to talk about these moments with other leaders. Leadership can hurt – especially when it drives real change. But that's often exactly when the most important things happen: growth, clarity, and trust. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Let's be real. The fact that people think they're entitled to comment, criticize, or even dictate how someone else—who's earned their wealth—uses it, says more about them than it does about Bezos. It exposes the scarcity mindset that's been normalized in society. The jealousy. The entitlement. The belief that someone else's success needs to be explained, justified, or made more “relatable.” But wealth doesn't require permission. Freedom doesn't come with an apology. And judging how others celebrate what they've built only highlights your own resistance to what's possible for you. This episode is a wake-up call to stop projecting limitations onto others and start checking where you might be holding yourself back from abundance. Because the truth is—when you're triggered by someone else's wealth, it's not about them... it's about where you've stopped believing in what's available to you.
