Podcasts about good leaders

Have you ever wondered if you're leading well—or if you're accidentally taking over? In Episode 270: How to Lead Without Taking Over, I answer a thoughtful question from a sister missionary who worried she might be controlling as a senior companion. Her vulnerability opened the door to a conversation I think every leader needs to hear. Whether you're a trainer, district leader, mission leader, parent, teacher, or simply someone with stewardship over another person, learning to lead with humility while preserving agency is one of the most important skills you can develop. In this episode, we explore the difference between stewardship and superiority, why good leaders reflect instead of assuming they have all the answers, and how to create as much agency and influence as possible while still carrying the responsibility you've been given. I also introduce my LEAD Framework—Listen, Explain, Acknowledge, and Decide—to help you navigate disagreements with kindness, clarity, and confidence without sacrificing either leadership or relationships. Along the way, I share practical examples from missionary companionships that apply just as well to families, church callings, workplaces, and everyday life. If you've ever questioned your leadership, worried about making the right decision, or wondered how to balance responsibility with respect for another person's agency, I hope Episode 270: How to Lead Without Taking Over gives you greater confidence and peace. My hope is that you'll discover that true leadership isn't about having more power—it's about carrying greater responsibility with humility, compassion, and Christlike love. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

 "Before you help anyone else, your child, your colleague, stranger next to you, put your own oxygen mask first. And it's not selfish. It's just survival logic."We explore why toxic workplace cultures persist despite widespread awareness of solutions like servant leadership  skills and creating psychological safe environments.  We explore root causes like middle managers operating under intense pressure without adequate support and lacking their own "oxygen.” Which forces reactive rather than strategic leadership. The conversation emphasizes that toxic cultures stem from systemic issues, not isolated symptoms, and that building trust, transparency, and confidence in uncertainty are essential for thriving organizations. The hosts stress that leaders must prioritize genuine self-care and authentic resilience to avoid burnout and suppression, ultimately preventing the cultural dysfunction from cascading through teams. Key TakeawaysAddress systemic root causes, not just symptoms: Toxic cultures persist because organizations treat visible dysfunction rather than examining structural pressures that force poor leadership behavior. Sustainable change requires examining why the system produces these outcomes.Build genuine trust through consistent follow-through: Trust is an economic asset that reduces costs and increases performance; it requires leaders to demonstrate they have employees' backs, not just competence in executing tasks.Practice measured transparency with intentional filtering: Effective communication balances openness with appropriate discretion; sharing what teams need to know without overwhelming them with unfiltered organizational anxiety.Develop confidence navigating uncertainty: Leaders must flex the muscle of moving forward decisively despite incomplete information, modeling authentic resilience rather than performative strength or toxic optimism.Monitor personal wellbeing signals and intervene early: Sunday dread, physical stress, value misalignment, and suppressed feelings are warning signs; seek external perspective, acknowledge when things aren't okay, and step back before burnout occurs.

"Would I have allowed fear to steal my destiny?" Ryan Clark  A Friday episode of The Pivot Podcast with the fellas. Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder kick back for a classic Friday conversation, catching up on life, sports, and everything in between. The trio opens with heartfelt thoughts on Chris Johnson's ALS diagnosis, reflecting on the football brotherhood and the importance of supporting those who have given so much to the game. They also have an honest conversation about the fear of CTE—the reality that comes with playing football at the highest level. While they acknowledge the risks every player accepts, all three agree that, knowing everything they know today, they still wouldn't change a thing about the game that shaped their lives. The conversation shifts to the NBA as they debate the buzz surrounding a potential Jaylen Brown trade and what it says about today's business of sports. From there, the guys dive into a bigger question: What truly defines a great leader? Whether it's in the locker room, on the field, or in everyday life, they share the qualities they believe separate good leaders from great ones. With July marking the halfway point of the year, Ryan, Fred, and Channing each open up about the personal goals, habits, and areas they're focused on improving during the second half of 2026. Ryan also shares stories from attending Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding, giving the guys plenty to laugh about as they react in true Pivot fashion. It's thoughtful, hilarious, honest, and everything people enjoy about the locker room feel of the guys simply talking about life. No guests—just The Pivot doing what it does best.

Leadership advisor and DEI expert Stacey Gordon returns to Leading Through Crisis to explain why diversity, equity, and inclusion should never be treated as a bolt-on "initiative," and why that mistake is exactly why so many companies have abandoned their DEI programs.  Stacey and host Céline Williams dig into why so many leaders struggle with flexibility and self-awareness, how communication breakdowns between managers and teams happen even when everyone has the best intentions, and why "inclusive leadership" is really just... good leadership.  They also unpack the biases quietly shaping hiring decisions, why leaders rarely get real feedback about how their teams actually experience them, and Stacey's free Leadership Reality Check quiz for anyone ready to find out the gap between how they think they lead and how their team sees them.  This conversation might just challenge how you think about communication, feedback, and what DEI actually means. — Stacey Gordon is a globally recognized keynote speaker, leadership advisor, and workplace culture strategist who helps organizations build inclusive, high-performing workplaces as they navigate today's evolving legal, social, and business landscape.  As the founder of Rework Work, Stacey partners with executive leaders, people managers, and HR and legal teams to strengthen talent systems, leadership capability, and workplace culture— relying on a foundation of legally sound, people-first approaches.

Leaders make lots of key decisions—but one decision can be the separator between leadership that sustains and leadership that thrives. In this week's episode, John reveals how the choice to be intentional transforms good leaders into great ones and empowers you to make a real difference. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow unpack the practical steps you can take to apply these principles in your own leadership. Key takeaways:  Generational greatness demands intentional actions, a growth mindset, and a commitment to serving others.  The best leaders shine their light in the darkest times by focusing on solutions and courageously solving problems rather than cursing the darkness.  Daily disciplines, consistency, and a focus on adding value to people are what make a powerful leadership legacy possible.  Our BONUS resource for this episode is the One Decision That Separates Good Leaders From Great Leaders Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.

In Episode 745 of Daily Influence, Brian Smith explores a leadership challenge that many executives, owners, and managers are experiencing—but very few are openly discussing: leadership fatigue. Leadership is often described through performance, decision-making, accountability, and vision. But behind all of those responsibilities sits something less visible—the emotional and mental weight leaders carry every day. The pressure to provide answers. The expectation to stay calm under stress. The responsibility of making decisions that impact people, finances, growth, and culture. Over time, that weight adds up. In this episode, Brian discusses why leadership fatigue is not simply about being tired—and why it often begins affecting behavior long before burnout becomes obvious. Topics include: decision fatigue in leadership emotional labor and the invisible weight of responsibility why strong leaders often feel pressure in silence how fatigue impacts patience, communication, and judgment recognizing when exhaustion begins influencing leadership behavior protecting clarity, pace, and perspective under pressure how S.M.A.R.T. Management supports sustainable leadership and intentional decision-making Leadership is responsibility—and responsibility carries weight. The goal is not to avoid pressure. The goal is learning how to carry it responsibly without losing clarity in the process. If you are a business owner, entrepreneur, executive, manager, or team leader navigating pressure and constant decision-making, this episode offers perspective on how to recognize leadership fatigue before it reshapes your behavior.

In this fascinating episode, Yosi Amram, Ph.D. — licensed clinical psychologist, CEO leadership coach, and pioneering researcher in Spiritual Intelligence — reveals why the world's most successful executives are quietly developing a new form of intelligence that goes far beyond IQ or emotional intelligence. With engineering degrees from MIT, an MBA from Harvard, and a Ph.D. in Psychology, Yosi founded and led two companies through successful IPOs before coaching over 100 CEOs, many running organizations with thousands of employees and billions in revenue. His groundbreaking research on Spiritual Intelligence has been cited over 1,000 times, and his Amazon best-selling book, Spiritually Intelligent Leadership: How to Inspire by Being Inspired (Nautilus Book Award Gold Medal winner), offers a practical roadmap for leaders who want to create deeper impact. Yosi explains what Spiritual Intelligence (SI) really is — not religion or momentary enlightenment, but the ability to embody timeless virtues like purpose, compassion, integrity, presence, and humility by connecting to your deepest inner essence. He shares how leaders who develop SI make better decisions, inspire greater loyalty, and build more resilient organizations, even in high-pressure environments. Whether you're a CEO, executive, or aspiring leader, this conversation delivers powerful insights and actionable strategies to awaken greater spiritual intelligence in yourself and your team.

Leadership is not a singular skill. You're not a good leader if you just know how to discipline well, or delegate well, or coach well, or set goals well, you are only a good leader if you can fulfill all of these roles simultaneously. The problem is you can't grow as a leader if you don't even know all the roles you have to fill. So this week, that's what I'm covering. I'll be going over the first 5 skills you need to develop to grow as a leader but before doing anything, please go take the survey in the show notes below to know how you stand as a leader right now!Show Notes: Leadership Roles Survey: Do You Exhibit Effective Team Leadership?(https://www.leadersinstitute.com/leadership-roles-survey-do-you-exhibit-effective-team-leadership-take-the-survey)

What does the Bible say about leadership? Dr. Richard Caldwell explores how profound humility, courage, and a biblical worldview are essential for godly direction. Learn to lead like Christ in your home, church, and workplace.

In a world that prizes domineering ambition, the Bible presents a standard of leadership that requires profound lowliness of mind. True godly direction is modeled by Jesus Christ, who taught that the greatest among us must be the servant of all. Whether guiding a family, operating in the workplace, or serving in pastoral ministry, a spiritual leader must possess deep conviction, humility, and the courage to do what is right before God. By rejecting pride and selfishness, believers can embrace a biblical worldview that promotes true spiritual growth and points others back to the glory of God.

What starts as a customer support question turns into a deep conversation about lean manufacturing, parenting, company culture, value stream mapping, and the hidden danger of “at some point” processes.They unpack why servant leadership is often misunderstood, how leaders can avoid micromanagement without abandoning standards, why some mistakes are worth letting happen for the sake of growth, binary decision-making, lean waste, product simplification, and more.Andrew also shares why he finally committed to a once-in-a-lifetime lean trip to Japan with Paul Akers, and the mindset shift that convinced him to go.

What makes a leader good is not that he simply rejects prevailing political approaches, speaks his mind, displays power, or brings wealth and fortune to an organization. However, what is fundamental to good leadership is someone who has skills, humility, and cares for the needs of others, particularly the vulnerable.

Leadership is supposed to be a privilege… so why does it feel like a slow burn to the ground? In this raw, unfiltered continuation of the leadership mental health conversation, Nicole Kalil sits down again with organizational psychologist and workplace mental health expert Melissa Doman to unpack what's really happening behind the scenes of leadership today — and why the good ones are dangerously close to walking away. Because here's the truth no one wants to admit: we expect leaders to be everything — strong, empathetic, decisive, available, perfect — with no room for human error. And then we wonder why burnout is skyrocketing and leadership pipelines are drying up. This episode goes beyond surface-level advice and into the uncomfortable reality: Leaders are human (shocking, we know) Unrealistic expectations are breaking them And we all play a role in either making it better… or making it worse Melissa brings both expertise and real talk to the table — from leadership archetypes (hello, frustrated martyr) to the “sea otter” model of healthy leadership (yes, it's a thing and yes, you want it). Together, they challenge the outdated narratives, call out toxic expectations, and offer a radically simple starting point: act like leaders are people. Because if we don't figure this out? The good leaders won't stay. And what's left… is not a future anyone wants. Thank you to our sponsors! Visit Upwork.com right now and post your job for free!

Every leader is talking about AI but very few are talking about what it's actually doing to them. Not the tools, strategy, or efficiency gains, but the quiet, personal unease that sits underneath all of it. The question that some of the most experienced, most senior leaders are privately asking but rarely saying out loud is am I still relevant?In this episode, James Rule reframes the AI conversation. AI is not just a technology shift, it is a stress test. Like all stress tests, what it's really doing is highlighting the gaps in judgment, role clarity, and emotional courage that the pace of normal leadership life was masking.KEY TAKEAWAYSWhy the real AI conversation leaders are having is not about tools it's about relevance and identityHow AI is acting as a stress test for leadership capability and what it's exposingThe shift from knowledge work to wisdom work and what that means for your role right nowThe three leadership gaps AI is surfacing in senior leaders: clarity of judgment, role clarity, and emotional courageFour honest reflection questions to help you understand where you standRELATED EPISODES FROM THE ARCHIVEEpisode 94 - Leadership Essentials: Adaptability Episode 84 - Leadership Essentials: Clarity Episode 119 - Strip away the title.

What if the “panic habits” leaders default to are the very things burning out their best people? In this Partnering Leadership episode, Mita Mallick—author of The Devil Emails at Midnight—joins Mahan to unpack practical ways senior leaders can replace performative urgency with clear operating rules that people can trust. You will hear why bad bosses are made, not born, and how pressure from markets, role models, and personal crises can turn ordinary leaders into micromanagers.Mita gets specific about power dynamics. A 4:30 a.m. email from the CEO trains teams to jump, even when the intent is “no rush.” She explains how to set explicit after-hours rules and model them yourself. The goal is to stop the 4 a.m. back-and-forth and restore predictable rhythms for high-stakes work.Calendars signal culture. Mita argues for a deliberate meeting cleanse, real breaks, and protected one-on-ones. You will hear why “we are not AI agents,” why canceling a meeting can be the kindest move you make this week, and how simple touch points create loyalty.Leaders also get a playbook for honest feedback. Mita shares how to create safety, why alumni calls six to twelve months after someone leaves yield the most actionable insight, and how a short journaling habit helps you see patterns in your own behavior before they damage trust.Finally, Mita challenges a core assumption: most work is not life or death. Treating it that way creates burnout. She closes with a frank read on the broken employee–employer contract and a likely shift toward more consultant-style work, which makes clarity, expectations, and operating rules even more important for CEOs and boards.Actionable TakeawaysYou will learn how to set a clear after-hours rule that stops the 4 a.m. reply spiral, including what “urgent” actually means in your context.Hear how to replace micromanagement with outcomes and guardrails when life outside work feels out of control.You will learn why your calendar is your culture, and how a simple meeting cleanse reveals time for deep work and real one-on-ones.Hear how to protect one-on-ones without turning them into therapy. Mita shares a practical cadence and a simple check-in script that builds connection.You will learn a low-cost feedback system: invite coaching, thank in the moment, follow up with changes, and never hunt “who said what.”Hear how to get clearer truth with alumni calls six to twelve months after exit interviews, when the emotion is gone and facts are usable.You will learn to write simple hybrid rules that reduce proximity bias and make global teams feel fair and seen.Hear how to reset leader expectations about urgency and burnout, starting with this line: “Most of our work is not life or death.”You will learn why culture becomes the worst behavior you tolerate and how to intervene when disengagement starts to spiral.Hear how to prepare for a future with looser roles and project-based deployment, and why clarity and operating rules will be your retention edge. Connect with Mita MallickMita Mallick LinkedIn The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn from Bad Bosses  Connect with Mahan Tavakoli:Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Most leadership content focuses on skills—strategy, communication, vision, execution. And those things matter. But there's a question that doesn't get asked nearly enough: What kind of person are you while you lead?In this episode, Clay and Adam explore the idea that great leadership isn't just about mastering the steering wheel—where you're going, how fast you're moving, whether you're hitting goals. It's also about looking in the mirror. Because you can be highly skilled, consistently effective, and still be someone people don't actually want to follow.They break down what it really means to be a "good person" in leadership—not passive, not conflict-avoidant, but someone with genuine integrity, humility, and self-awareness—and why those qualities are the invisible engine behind trust, influence, and team health.Plus, three practical "mirrors" every leader should be looking into regularly, and a simple challenge to take into your week.

In the early days of your journey to build up a profitable equipment business, you might not have put a lot of emphasis on what it would be like to become a leader. Now that you've got a team, whether small or large, applying good leadership skills may be on your radar, especially when problems crop up. In this episode, we welcome a professional counselor to the mic, bringing a different kind of perspective on what good leadership looks like – and how poor leadership can deeply impact the people in your company. He has spent 25 years counseling people with a wide range of stressors and problems, and for the last 11 years, he has provided counseling services to employees of the US Postal Service. Besides identifying good and bad leadership traits, our guest talks about positive ways to give work-related criticism, the importance of empathy, and inspiring employees to embrace your company's mission and find their "purpose."   Connect with William: LinkedIn   Connect with IEDA: Visit IEDA Group Website IEDA Events   Produced By: Social Chameleon

My guest today is Dan Sundheim. Dan is the founder and CIO of D1 Capital Partners. He thinks about markets and businesses constantly, and has built a career entirely around that obsession. He manages over $30B across both public and private markets, with investments in SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic, and a public portfolio of names you may never have heard of. Dan shares the story of the short case he wrote on Orthodontic Centers of America and posted on Value Investors Club, which crashed the stock, and helped him land his first job. He shares why he backed Anthropic at a moment when many people told him it was the Lyft to OpenAI's Uber, what reading Dario Amodei's essays reminded him of Jeff Bezos, and how he thinks about LLM business models through the lens of Netflix and Spotify. We spend time on the extraordinarily stressful moment in early 2021 when GameStop hit the firm, and what Dan believes is the single biggest tail risk facing the global economy right now.

Recorded at the 2025 American Exploration and Mining Association Annual Meeting, this Mining Minds episode features Walsh Reclamation Operations Manager Troy Hawkins. Troy shares his background as a ninth-generation miner and reflects on how his father—a self-described "tramp miner"—was his hero and shaped his values around respect, hard work, and character over credentials. He discusses growing up in a small mining town, leaving school early, and entering the mining industry alongside his family. Troy reflects on his 23-year career at one operation, where he began as a haul truck driver and advanced through multiple operational and leadership roles. Once a rebellious young operator, he evolved into a people-focused leader who prioritizes morale, respect, and personal connection—building high-performing crews through trust and genuine care. Please help us welcome Troy Hawkins to The Face. We would like to thank the American Exploration and Mining Association (AEMA) for hosting Mining Minds at the event and for their ongoing dedication to advancing and amplifying voices throughout the mining industry.   Episode Sponsors:  American Exploration and Mining Safety First Training and Consulting JSR Fleet Performance Motor Mission Machine and Radiator    Episode Chapters:  05:05 Feral Mining-Town Childhood & How Kids Are Different Now 12:18 School Struggles, Sports Dreams, and Learning Outside the Classroom 33:34 "Your long hair will never make you successful" — proving them wrong 39:14 When leadership gets personal 47:22 How he builds trust 55:40 Hiring without the script: real interviews, real people 01:01:27 Marriage & support system 01:12:04 First Date at Carver's 01:16:20 Stepping into Walsh 01:22:54 Scaling Up with Trust 01:24:18 Why People Take a Pay Cut to Work for Good Leaders 01:33:10 Pucker Factor Stories

So, let's dive right into the nitty-gritty of servant leadership, shall we? You know, it's all fun and games until you realize that a lack of accountability can turn those so-called “servant leaders” into untouchable demigods. We're not here for a morality contest, folks; we're all human, and that's the point. Today, we're breaking down the BE-COME framework—because, let's face it, who doesn't love a good acronym? It's all about starting fresh, connecting with our people, and keeping each other in check, all wrapped up in love. Because remember, the Church doesn't need flawless leaders; it needs ones who can own their mess-ups and show up for one another. So, stick around, and let's unpack how we can actually make accountability feel like a warm hug instead of a judgmental fist!Servant leadership is one of the most quoted leadership models in the Church. But if servant leadership is so central to our theology, why do we keep watching leaders fall?In this episode, we examine the dark side of servant leadership—not to tear down leaders, but to tell the truth so the Church can grow healthier.Drawing from a recent discipleship gathering called People of Grace, insights from John Wesley's class meetings, and the BE-COME discipleship framework taught by Sam Barber, this conversation explores why leadership without shared accountability eventually fails.We look at patterns behind recent ministry collapses, the role of isolation in leadership failure, and how churches can recover healthier structures rooted in grace, community, and accountability.Servant leadership works, but only when it is accountable.KEY THEMES• The difference between servant language and servant structure• Why isolation is the most common soil for leadership failure• John Wesley's model of mutual accountability• The BE-COME framework for discipleship• How the early church practiced shared leadership• Practical steps toward accountable leadership todaySCRIPTURE REFERENCESMark 10:42–45 — Whoever wants to be great must be servantJohn 13:1–17 — Jesus washes the disciples' feetMatthew 28:18–20 — The Great CommissionLuke 22:24–27 — Leadership as serviceActs 2:42–47 — Shared life in the early churchGalatians 6:1–2 — Bear one another's burdensJames 5:16 — Confess your sins to one anotherTakeaways:Wesley's concept of accountability in leadership isn't about control, it's about protection and growth.The BE-COME framework emphasizes the importance of community and personal accountability in servant leadership.Servant leadership without accountability can lead to disastrous outcomes, as seen in many high-profile ministry collapses.We can't ignore the reality that isolation distorts leadership and makes it easier for blind spots to grow.True accountability involves asking hard questions and having people who can challenge us without repercussions.The church needs leaders who are known and accountable, not just those who appear humble on the surface.Companies mentioned in this episode:Dynamic Church Planting InternationalGateway ChurchIHOP Kansas City

Of there is one common denominator across all societies and all times, it's that human beings have to work.  From finding the necessities of survival to advancing technology to a new level.  Regardless of the many ways it can manifest itself, the imperative to work is common to all of us.  Does these mean, however, that our lives are constrained to difficulty and toil?  What about work benefits us and makes us good?

How Pressure Turns Good Leaders Into Bad Bosses Most leaders don't fail because they lack skill or good intentions. They fail because pressure changes how they show up. In this episode, executive coach Sabina Nawaz explains why pressure, not power, is the real force that corrupts leadership. Drawing from her work with senior leaders at Microsoft and Fortune 500 companies, Sabina breaks down how well-meaning managers slip into micromanaging, rescuing, and control—and how those habits quietly damage trust, performance, and culture. You'll learn: Why pressure triggers the worst leadership behaviors The “sole provider” trap many leaders fall into without realizing it Why promotions are one of the riskiest moments in a leadership career How to lead yourself first so pressure doesn't lead for you If you want to stay effective, human, and trusted as a leader—especially under pressure—this conversation is a must-listen.

In the myriads of articles and books written on leadership, it's astonishing how few times truth is mentioned.  Certainly, there are many reasons for this but that fact that so many feel that truth can be omitted from a conversation on leadership only underscores its importance, especially or Christian leaders.  But for many of us the questions remain: “why is truth important?”, “does truth divide us rather than unite us?”, and if there is a truth how do we come to know it?  Welcome to the first of a series dedicated to these questions?
