What separates good coaches from great leaders? Is it strategy? Talent? Experience? Or is it the courage to make difficult decisions while creating an environment where people can perform at their best? This week on Let's Have This Conversation, I sit down with Phillip Kroft, Head Men's Soccer Coach at the University of Chicago, to explore what it truly takes to build and sustain a championship-caliber culture. A National Championship-winning coach, Phillip believes that lasting success isn't built on motivation alone—it's built on decisive leadership, psychological safety, accountability, and a shared commitment to something greater than individual achievement. Our conversation explores how leaders can balance confidence with humility, make informed decisions under pressure, and cultivate environments where people from diverse backgrounds unite around a common purpose. We also discuss:  What decisive leadership looks like when every decision shapes the future of a program  Building psychologically positive relationships with student-athletes that foster trust, resilience, and long-term growth  Creating a sustainable culture that outlasts individual seasons and personnel changes  The psychology of motivation and helping individuals maximize their potential while contributing to the team  Lessons from coaching at multiple collegiate levels, including leading one of the nation's premier Division III programs  The evolving landscape of collegiate athletics and the opportunities and challenges facing today's student-athletes  Why sports remain one of society's most powerful forces for connection, belonging, and bringing people together Whether you're a coach, educator, executive, business leader, or someone passionate about leadership and human performance, this episode offers practical insights into building cultures where people don't just succeed—they thrive. Because championship organizations, like championship teams, are built one decision, one relationship, and one shared purpose at a time.     For more information: https://athletics.uchicago.edu/sports/mens-soccer Connect: menssoccer@uchicago.edu   Learn more about your ad choices.

Most people have a picture in their head of what a good leader looks like. Decisive. Commanding. Always with an answer. The person who walks into a room and immediately changes the energy.That picture is not wrong. But it is incomplete. And chasing it has quietly pulled a lot of leaders away from the kind of leadership that actually works.In today's episode we break down what good leadership actually looks like — not the performance version, but the practiced version. The quieter one. The one that produces genuine trust, genuine alignment, and a team that moves with you rather than behind you.Get every episode free, daily — subscribe on Substack:

Robert Cwiklik, guest author, recounts how, in the wake of the 1874 White League coup, President Grant felt compelled to take decisive action, despite the 1874 midterm elections flipping the House of Representatives to Democratic control. Grant initially used massive military force—including warships and infantry—to restore Governor Kellogg, but he realized a permanent solution was needed as white vigilantes continued to overthrow local officials across the South. Fearing that the gains of the Civil War were being erased, Grant turned to his most trusted and aggressive general, Phil Sheridan. He dispatched Sheridan on a secret mission to New Orleans, instructing him to go "on vacation" and assess how to "put a lid on the situation." This mission was so sensitive that Grant bypassed his cabinet, including Secretary of State Hamilton Fish, to keep it confidential. Grant relied on Sheridan's reputation for "total war" tactics to combat the growing insurgent threat from the White League and other militias.

Sin and evil are real.  They are not playing games.  To defeat them and be disciples of Christ, we need to take our Christian life very seriously.  This takes resolute, decisive choices and clear thinking about good and evil, virtue and vice, love and betrayal.  

In this episode of The Fire You Carry, Nole and Kevin dive deep into a subtle but damaging trap of fatherhood and marriage: the default phrase, "we'll see."Why is it that men can be incredibly decisive, clear, and direct on the fireground, but the moment they walk through the front door, they turn into passive politicians? The guys break down why "we'll see" isn't actually a gentle answer; it's a "soft-ass no" that breeds anxiety in our kids and leaves an unfair mental load on our wives.Before hitting the core topic, Kevin shares an update on his daughters braving massive 8-foot ocean swells at Junior Lifeguards, and celebrates Captain Josh Nessa completely dominating a massive police and fire powerlifting competition at age 44. Plus, the guys share practical communication hacks like the firehouse 4-3-2-1 elimination method to help you stop stalling, take the lead, and let your yes be yes.Big thank you to My Epic and Facedown Records for the use of their song "Hail" in our podcast!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz2RZThURTU&ab_channel=FacedownRecordsThe Fire You Carry on YouTube.Sign up for a class at The Fire Up Program!https://www.fireupprogram.com/programsThe Fire Up Progam video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I__ErPW46Ec&t=12s&ab_channel=FireUpProgramThe Fire You Carry Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/thefireyoucarry/Donate to The Fire Up Program.https://www.fireupprogram.com/donateThe Fire Up Program Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/fireup_program/Kevin's Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/kevinpwelsh/?hl=en

The higher you rise, the less information you get before each decision. When that happens, smart people either rush in or freeze up. Both leave you stuck. Work with Dr. Grace to decide with confidence instead of rushing or freezing: https://masteryinsights.com/mentorship-pc What is Reflective Equivalence? Reflective Equivalence is a framework for making decisions by training the brain to see both sides of a choice at the same time: the benefits and the drawbacks, the opportunities and the risks, weighted equally. It moves the decision away from the amygdala, where outcomes get read as all good or all bad, and into the executive cortex, where the assessment is balanced and reasoned. Because the view reflects what is actually there instead of a one-sided projection of what could be, the decision can be made faster and with more certainty. Key Concepts Reflective Equivalence: holding a decision's upside and downside in view at the same time, weighted equally, so the choice reflects reality instead of a one-sided projection. Amygdala bias: the one-sided distortion that reads an outcome as all good or all bad, producing recklessness at one extreme and paralysis at the other. Reflexive vs. reflective response: the amygdala reacts in binary, all-or-none terms, while the executive cortex weighs both sides and stays decisive under incomplete information. The self-made dilemma: indecision created by chasing a one-sided outcome that does not exist, which more data and more analysis cannot resolve. Think back to the last decision you put off. Were you missing real information, or waiting for a certainty that was never coming?   Show notes and free resources: https://CareerRevisionist.com/episode246 Do you want to move up in executive leadership?

I'm recording this from Bali, and I can feel something shifting in me.There is a version of this story that could sound like luck. Like I just happened to be able to take my family here for three months, work from beautiful cafes, go to the gym, get massages, swim with Leo every afternoon, and build a life that feels expansive and alive.But I need to be clear. This was never about luck.Everything I have created has come from a decision. A desire. A clear vision. A willingness to take inspired action before I knew every single step.

Cheryl Strauss Einhorn is the creator of the AREA Method, a structured decision-making system used by individuals, companies, and nonprofits to solve complex problems. She's the founder of Decisive, an adjunct professor at Cornell and the University of Miami, and the author of multiple books on decision-making, including Problem Solved and her latest, The Human Edge. Cheryl combines deep research expertise with practical frameworks to help people think more clearly and make smarter choices—especially in a world increasingly shaped by AI. On this episode we talk about: How Cheryl built a career around decision-making, research, and storytelling Why defining the right problem is the most overlooked step in making money and business decisions The hidden downside of AI: outsourcing your thinking and losing your “human edge” The eight-step AREA Method for making smarter, more personalized decisions How to use AI effectively—without blindly trusting its outputs Top 3 Takeaways The quality of your decisions depends on how well you define the problem—not just the solution you choose. AI is a powerful tool for research, but it requires human judgment to guide, validate, and apply it correctly. Your unique perspective, context, and imperfections are assets—not flaws to be polished away by AI. Notable Quotes "AI is asking for our cognitive load—and that changes everything." "Nobody is going to believe in you unless you believe in you." "Any time saved with AI must be reinvested to verify and refine the result."

Cheryl Strauss Einhorn joins Mike Palmer to discuss her latest book, The Human Edge: Smarter Decisions in the Age of AI. As the founder of Decisive and a former investigative journalist for Barron's, Cheryl brings a unique perspective to the world of problem solving. Her career shift from reporting on corporate scandals to teaching at Columbia University stems from a desire to move beyond simple awareness of cognitive biases and toward a system that actively counters them. The conversation centers on the AREA method, a decision making framework designed to manage the mental shortcuts that often lead us astray. Cheryl explains how her method separates research into distinct phases: Absolute, Relative, Exploration, Exploitation, and Analysis. By slowing down to evaluate information from multiple perspectives, decision makers can gain the conviction needed to act in high stakes environments. The Human Edge focuses specifically on how humans can remain the chief deciders while using AI as a cognitive sidecar. Cheryl notes that while AI provides speed and vast amounts of data, it lacks personal context and an understanding of human consequences. She warns against AI sycophancy, where tools mirror our own preferences back to us and narrow our worldview. To combat this, she introduces the concept of the cheetah pause, a deliberate deceleration that allows for the agility and maneuverability required to navigate complex problems. Mike and Cheryl also explore the role of AI in education and the workplace. They discuss using AI for perspective taking through role play, conducting pre-mortems to identify potential failures, and the importance of teaching decision science as a core competency in schools. The episode concludes with a reminder that our decisions define our future, and maintaining human agency is essential as we integrate powerful new technologies into our lives.

Carey Lohrenz goes Inside the ICE House to share how her experience as a Navy F-14 pilot informs leadership under pressure. She explains how overplanning can mask fear and why clarity and decisive action are critical in uncertain environments. Lohrenz highlights the importance of focus, trust, and creating a culture where teams feel safe to speak up. Ultimately, she emphasizes that strong leaders build confidence through transparency, consistency, and the ability to adapt quickly.

Summary:  Former Paralympian and Army veteran John Register joins The Leadership Habit to discuss leadership decision-making, resilience, and overcoming adversity. After losing his leg while training for the Olympics, Register rebuilt his life and became a Paralympic silver medalist. In this episode, he shares his “Amputate to Elevate” leadership philosophy, encouraging leaders to let go of indecision, outdated thinking, and limiting beliefs in order to adapt and move forward. The conversation explores leadership under pressure, leading through uncertainty, and the critical importance of decisive leadership for organizational growth and change.  Leadership today requires more than vision. It requires the courage to make difficult decisions before all the answers are available. On the latest episode of the Leadership Habit podcast, John Register joined host Jenn DeWall for a conversation about resilience, leadership decision-making, and what it truly means to move forward after adversity. John's story is remarkable. A decorated Persian Gulf War Army veteran and elite athlete, he was training for the Olympic Games when a devastating injury changed everything. After a missed hurdle caused severe damage to his leg, he made the life-altering decision to amputate above the knee. Instead of allowing that moment to define him, he adapted, rebuilt, and eventually became a two-sport Paralympic athlete and silver medalist. But this episode is about much more than athletics. It is about leadership under pressure and the decisions leaders avoid making every day. Meet John Register, Paralympic Silver Medalist John Register is a leadership keynote speaker, strategic advisor, Army combat veteran, Paralympic silver medalist, and co-founder of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Paralympic Military Sports Program. Today, he helps organizations navigate change and uncertainty through his “Amputate to Elevate” philosophy, which focuses on removing what no longer serves you in order to move forward with clarity and purpose. Throughout the conversation, John shares lessons from military leadership, elite sports, and personal adversity that apply directly to today's workplace challenges. The Leadership Cost of Indecision One of the biggest themes in this episode is indecision. According to John, many leaders already know what needs to change. The challenge is not awareness. The challenge is commitment. Whether it is addressing an underperforming employee, adopting new technology, changing strategy, or having a difficult conversation, leaders often stay stuck waiting for certainty that never comes. As John explains in the episode: “You know what you need to cut. You know you’ve been holding onto that thing for a very long time.” That hesitation creates organizational drag. Teams lose momentum. Problems linger. Innovation slows down. Employees lose confidence in leadership.  In many organizations, the real issue is not a lack of strategy. It is a lack of decisive leadership. The “Amputate to Elevate” Leadership Philosophy John's “Amputate to Elevate” philosophy challenges leaders to let go of what no longer supports growth. That might mean: Letting go of outdated systems Releasing limiting beliefs Moving on from ineffective processes Making difficult personnel decisions Re-evaluating priorities Accepting that old approaches may no longer work The concept is uncomfortable by design. Transformation is difficult because it requires leaders to become something different. As John explains, most people say they want transformation, but what they really want is transition. They want improvement without discomfort. Real growth rarely works that way. This is especially relevant in a business environment shaped by rapid technological change, shifting employee expectations, economic uncertainty, and AI disruption. Organizations that wait too long to adapt risk falling behind. The Resonance Model: A Framework for Leading Through Change A major portion of the episode focuses on John's “Resonance Model,” which includes three stages leaders move through during change: Reckoning This is the stage where leaders recognize something is no longer working. However, many organizations stay stuck here because they resist acknowledging the real problem. John describes reckoning as the tension between wanting things to stay the same while simultaneously knowing change is necessary. Revision Revision is the planning and possibility stage. Leaders begin exploring options, considering new paths, and imagining different outcomes. This is where creativity and adaptability become essential leadership skills. Renewal Renewal begins when leaders commit to action. Once a decision is made, there is no returning to the previous version of reality. That commitment creates momentum, learning, and growth. John repeatedly emphasizes that nothing changes until action happens. “Nothing starts until the button is pushed.” For many leaders, this is the hardest step. Leadership Decision Making in Uncertain Times One of the strongest leadership lessons from this episode is the idea that certainty is an illusion. Leaders often delay decisions because they want more data, more confidence, or guarantees about outcomes. John references former Secretary of State Colin Powell and his “40/70 Rule.” The idea is simple: With less than 40% of the information, you likely do not know enough to decide. With more than 70%, you may already be waiting too long. At some point, leaders must act without perfect information. This mindset is critical for modern leadership development. Markets change quickly. Employee expectations evolve rapidly. Technology advances constantly. Teams need leaders who can make thoughtful decisions and move forward with confidence. Leadership Resilience Is Built Through Action Another powerful takeaway from this episode is that resilience is not passive. John did not become resilient because adversity happened to him. He became resilient because he continued moving forward after adversity. After losing his leg, he did not initially know about the Paralympic Games. He simply took the next step available to him by swimming for physical therapy. That one step eventually opened entirely new opportunities. That lesson applies directly to leadership. Leaders do not need to have every answer immediately. They need the willingness to move forward, learn, adapt, and continue making progress. Action creates clarity. Indecision creates stagnation. Why Leadership Development Matters More Than Ever This episode reinforces why leadership development cannot be treated as a one-time event. Strong leadership requires ongoing growth, adaptability, communication, and decision-making practice. Leaders need opportunities to strengthen their confidence, challenge limiting assumptions, and develop the skills necessary to lead through uncertainty. Organizations that invest in leadership development create leaders who are better equipped to: Navigate change Communicate clearly Make difficult decisions Build trust Adapt quickly Support employee engagement Create accountability Those capabilities matter now more than ever.

What happens to your judgment when AI starts answering before you finish the question?In this episode, Dr. Fonz sits down with Cheryl Strauss Einhorn, founder of Decisive, decision-sciences educator at Cornell and the University of Miami, and author of the new book The Human Edge: Smarter Decisions in the Age of AI (Cornell Publishing, May 8th). Cheryl spent over a decade as an investigative journalist at Barron's, where her bearish company stories halted stock trading, shut down companies, and once helped send a CEO to ten years in prison. That work taught her something every educator and student needs to hear right now: the hardest part of any decision isn't the information. It's the judgment.Cheryl walks us through her AREA Method (Absolute, Relative, Exploration & Exploitation, Analysis), a system for complex problem solving built to check our cognitive biases and protect our thinking when we work with AI. She unpacks why "AI as a time-saver" is a myth doing real damage in classrooms, why students still feel pressure to run their assignments through AI to "polish them up," and why the eight moments of human judgment in any complex decision are the things educators should be teaching first.We also get into the cautious advocate's question: what mindset shift do tenured professors need to feel their expertise still matters? How do we lower the barrier for the educators who haven't started using these tools yet? And what does learning look like five years from now if we get this right?Whether you're a K-12 teacher, a professor, a district leader, or a student wondering how to keep your own voice in your own work, this conversation will give you a framework to stop outsourcing your thinking and start leading the machine.Chapters00:00 Introduction to AI and Decision Making04:59 Cheryl's Journey and the Area Method09:57 Understanding the Human Edge in AI14:59 Reclaiming Agency in Decision Making20:10 The Area Method Explained24:48 Challenges and Insights from Teaching AI31:06 The Role of Educators in AI38:37 Debunking AI Myths

Navigating Iran's Fractured Leadership: Iran's leadership is currently a faceless structure of five major figures, following the supreme leader's absence. This complicates diplomacy because no single person has decisive say. The regime remains paranoid about appearing weak and is unlikely to make concessions on its nuclear or ballistic missile programs. Jonathan Sayeh (3)1519
